nRF51: IoT-MQTT example and Raspberry Pi 3

Hello,

I need a little help regarding IoT-SDK 0.8.0 on nRF51.

What I want to achive: Get the IoT-SDK 0.8.0 MQTT-Example running on nRF51 and publishing sensor data to a Raspberry Pi 3 using IPv6 and MQTT. Later, more sensor nodes should publish their data "simultaneously".

What my current situation is: I flashed the IoT-Softdevice along with the recompiled example code into the nRF51. On the Pi, I started with a freshly installed Debian Jessie lite. First, I installed the mosquitto broker and radvd (there was no bt0-device present at this point):

sudo su
apt-get install mosquitto
apt-get install radvd

After that, I created the config file for radvd:

nano /etc/radvd.conf

with the following content:

interface bt0
{
    AdvSendAdvert on;
    prefix 2001:db8::/64
    {
        AdvOnLink off;
        AdvAutonomous on;
        AdvRouterAddr on;
    };
};

First question here: How do I know "my" prefix? Or is it always the same as in the example? Then I started radvd:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding
service radvd restart

After that, I found the nRF51-device using "hcitool lescan":

00:AB:C8:3A:XX:YY MQTTPublisher

Then I started the 6lowpan stack:

modprobe bluetooth_6lowpan
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/bluetooth/6lowpan_enable

But there was still no bt0-device visible in the output of "ifconfig".

After that, I tried to establish the connection with

echo "connect 00:AB:C8:3A:XX:YY 2" > /sys/kernel/debug/bluetooth/6lowpan_control

but the board is not leaving the advertising mode nor is bt0 visible on the Pi.

Thats the point I am stuck at the moment. Can you tell me what I miss?

Thank you very much in advance!

Best Regards
