Setting up a raspberry pi 3 as IoT BLE 6LoWPAN Border Router using an nRF52840 dongle pca10059. Where is the router program that should run on the Rpi3?

[Olaf]

I am testing the IoT_lwip_MQTT_publisher_pca10056_s140 example project from SES on Windows.

I build and install the kernel with 6LoWPAN module on the Rpi3! 

I can run from the Rpi3 "hcitool lescan" command and get the BT device addr. of my pca10056, and connect to it.

Doesn't  the Rpi router need to run a program that connect and forward the MQTT data to a (local lan) MQTT broker?

Where can I find that code?

And for testing the MQTT publisher example do I need to create and install a link-local addr from the BT device addr?

Thanks

There is a guide in the SDK documentation on how to set up a MQTT broker with Mosquitto here: https://www.nordicsemi.com/DocLib/Content/SDK_Doc/nRF5_SDK/v15-2-0/iot_sdk_user_guides_mosquitto. However, it looks like debian packages for raspberry have not been updated in a while. It might be easier to test this on ubuntu running in virtualbox,etc.  

Yes, you will need to create a link-local address, see Creating link-local IPv6 addresses

Is there any tutorial for setting up an IoT BLE 6LoWPAN Border Router in a Ubuntu Virtualbox?
