IOT SDK possible routers

Hi, All!

Does anyone starts IoT SDK on other devices except Raspberry Pi and Asus RT-16N? For example, Beagle Bone, or OpenWRT TP-LINK routers?

  • Hi,

    Most routers that are supported in OpenWRT ChaosCalmer snapshots has recently been upgraded to v3.18.x, and you can install the bluetooth_6lowpan using opkg:

    opkg update
    opkg install kmod-bluetooth_6lowpan
    

    I tried running CC on my router at home (tp-link wdr-4300) about a month ago, but it was too unstable in general, so I switched back to barrierbreaker. Unfortunately, I do not know the state of the implementation at this moment, so I cannot guarantee more than that the module bluetooth_6lowpan should be available for most bleeding edge ChaosCalmer builds.

    I do not see any issues wrt. running this on a BeagleBone/bananapi/etc as long as you have the bluetooth_6lowpan module correctly installed.

    Cheers, Håkon
