6LoWPAN Ubuntu VM Linux Image

7 Feb 2015

Hi, guys. nRF51 IoT SDK is needed Raspberry Pi, so I make the VMware Player Image for Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64bit(linux kernel update to 3.18.3). Even if don’t have Raspberry Pi, can use the 6lowpan!! And it’s easy to develop the linux 6lowpan kernel module by using the VM linux.

VM Linux image and "How to" is my website, http://www.hirotakaster.com/weblog/6lowpan-ubuntu-vm-image/

Glad I could be of someone help.

hi, i followed the steps. After entering the hcitool lescan, an error says

Set scan parameters failed: File descriptor in bad state

And then that’s it. Do you have any idea why?

I have nrf51 DK, Bluetooth 4 dongle CSR8510 A10 and nrf51 iot sdk. Thanks

How do you get the device to be available on the internet? I've tried one variant, but can't get it to bridge/route properly. See my question here: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

Hi Makarand K, Thanks for your try. Because of my windows 7 laptop don't have bluetooth, so I use BLE dongle. Your success is awesome!!

Glad you brought up something on these lines. Is it possible for you to share how I should setup Ubuntu kernel to be able to connect to 6lowpan ? I want to use my laptop's ble device to connect to the nrf51 kit

update: I followed this and I could ping from a linux laptop! I didn't even need a BLE dongle, the inbuilt bluetooth device should work
