What type of "headless" router or edge router do I need to implement nRF IoT?

The rasp berry PI is only for demo. For the real system, what other options do I have? Thanks

  • Hi Paul,

    Any device running linux, with a kernel version >= 3.17, with bluetooth_6lowpan module compiled, and ipv6 support in the kernel and routing-wise (via radvd) should suffice.

    As far as I know, there is no out-of-the-box bluetooth + 6LoWPAN options with 3rd-party router firmwares (OpenWRT, tomato, DD-wrt etc) at this moment. OpenWRT ChaosCalmer is now running kernel 3.14, which then needs to be patched to include this feature(s).

    Cheers, Håkon
