HOW TO CONNECT MORE BLE NODE TO NRF51422 DK USING 6BLE

[sam]

CAN I CONNECT EXERNEL NODE TO NRF51422 DK USING 6BLE IF YES THEN HOW? AND WHAT IS A MAXIMUM NUMBER OF EXERNEL NODE I CAN CONNECT TO SAME NRF51422 DK

Hi sam,

The current release of the IoT SDK, nRF5 IoT SDK v.0.9.0 only support the node role of 6LowPan. This means that you cannot connect external nodes to the rRF51422 DK using IPv6 over BLE, this will require the (border) router role. You might be able to connect BLE devices to the nRF51 DK using regular GAP and forward the data using 6LowPAN, but there are no examples of this in the SDK.

Also notice that support for nRF51 devices is deprecated in the IoT SDK fron v 0.9.0, and will not be supported in new releases.

Best regards,

Jørgen
