RPi3: 6lowpan_control "Permission denied"

[JohnM.]

I am trying to use one of the example from NRF5 IoT SDK with RPi3 (kernel 4.9.41-v7+) but keep getting "permission denied" when execute command below:

echo "connect 00:5A:FD:06:8D:8E 1" > /sys/kernel/debug/bluetooth/6lowpan_control

Actual error I got:

bash: /sys/kernel/debug/bluetooth/6lowpan_control: Permission denied

I read and follow steps suggested using links below but pretty much stuck.

There is a typo in the last command, 6lowpan_contol instead of 6lowpan_control

Could you try executing the commands in this order

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

# Enabling IPv6 Forwarding
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding

# Restart radvd service
sudo service radvd restart

echo "connect 00:6B:FD:06:8D:8E 1" > /sys/kernel/debug/bluetooth/6lowpan_control

Good point! Small typo in your code: modprobe bluetooth_6lowpan
