BLE 6LoWPAN environment about bt0 ifconfig

Hello, I build a BLE 6LoWPAN environment on my raspberry pi with Kernel 3.18.3 and connect a BLE Dongle. The BLE Node is Arch BLE (www.seeedstudio.com/.../Arch-BLE-p-1998.html). and follow Nordic nRF51 IoT SDK But when I try to connect to my Arch BLE , echo "connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX 1" > /sys/kernel/debug/bluetooth/6lowpan_control , there had no any wrong but the bt0 interface not created. Do you know what’s wrong about this problem? thank you! image description

  • Does your BLE usb dongle enumerate?

    Quickly check if "hciconfig" lists it up. You could also verify if it is BLE enabled by running "hcitool lescan". This should list all devices advertising nearby.

    If it enumerates, when you run the command "connect xx:xx:xx:xx:xx 1", verify if it connects to the device or not by checking "hcitool con".

    Alternativly, you could do a normal connect to the device by issuing "hcitool lecc xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx". This is just a litmus test for bluetooth connection (ipv6 connection is not established using this command).
