Bluetooth 6LoWPAN commands

I'm trying to use nRF51 IoT SDK and setting raspberry pi as router.

When I enter the below command for connecting to nrf51, wlan connection is disconnected.

echo "connect 00:AA:BB:XX:YY:ZZ 1" > /sys/kernel/debug/bluetooth/6lowpan_control

I used dongles of wlan and ble. The dongle type is

  • iBUFFALO BSBT4D09BK
  • BUFFALO WLI-UC-GNM

Thank you,

  • We haven't tested this combination ourselves, so I'm not sure on the specific HW that you are using. We are using a USB dongle for BLE traffic and then a wired ethernet connection in our testing. There's no apparent reason for why this command should affect both your dongles at the same time. It could be a compatibility issue with the dongles that you are using and the Linux kernel/6lowpan. I would recommend you to try it with a wired ethernet and used the BT dongle for now. If you discover that it is a compatibility issue we recommend that you report it as an issue with the kernel as well.
