cannot create bt0 in raspberry pi3

lucidlynx

Hello all,

Environment:

  • Rpi with Raspbian Stretch (Release 9.8)
  • Kernel 4.14.8-v7+
  • Architecture armv7l

I have followed the below links to build BLE 6LoWPAN environment on my Rpi3

All commands were working fine until echo "connect <mac address of other device> 1" > /sys/kernel/debug/bluetooth/6lowpan_control. As seen from the websites, after this command execution, there should be bt0 interface created. But it is not visible in ifconfig -a.

Also the 6lowpan_control file is empty. But when I try to connect the other device using the command hcitool con after executing above command, I am able to see the desired connections in the terminal, still no bt0 device available. I have even tried with the command ifconfig bt0 add 2001:db8::1/64 but resulted with the error SIOGIFINDEX: No such device.

How to resolve this problem?

Note: I think I am facing this same issue.

    Hi,

    Did you use the Raspbian distro straight from the webpage, or did you compile the kernel with bluetooth_6lowpan module as described in the documentation? The documentation is a bit outdated, and you should not have to do any kernel compilation with later versions, as bluetooth_6lowpan is included by default.

    Also, did you use sudo with the ifconfig command? Did you follow the instructions on this page?

    Best regards,
    Jørgen

    Hi,

    Thanks for the response.

    Yeah, I have not compiled any new kernel as I came to know that bluetooth_6lowpan module available in downloaded Raspbian distro. I just used the command modprobe bluetooth_6lowpan to load the kernel module.

    Thanks for asking but I am working as a root so I have not used 'sudo'. And I followed all the steps from the mentioned link still unable to see bt0.

    Inserted a error screenshot  that I am facing below:
