IoT Dev Kit -- list of Linux kernel modules and binaries?

[Marc Nicholas]

Hi,

Without dissecting the provided Raspberry Pi Debian packages -- is there a list of the required Linux kernel modules and binaries required for the IoT Dev Kit example applications? We'd like to get it running on our own hardware rather than a Pi....so this would be useful.

Any pointers appreciated.

Thx.

Hi Marc,

The dependencies are:

• Kernel v3.17 or later
• radvd
• Bluez

The kernel must be compiled with 6LoWPAN (bluetooth_6lowpan) + BlueZ modules. Are you looking to build your own custom kernel, or just do the setup on another distro?

If you're running for instance Ubuntu 14.04, you can get precompiled kernels here: kernel.ubuntu.com/.../

I tested it on Ubuntu 14.10 with kernel v3.17.1-utopic, and if you do an apt-get install radvd bluez, then follow the steps given in the iot-SDK-docs, chapter "Linux commands for 6LoWPAN", then you should have a good starting point.

If I've misunderstood anything in your inquiry, please correct me.

Cheers, Håkon

Fancy meeting you here, Håkon ;)

We build our own kernels based on OpenWRT as we have a nascent BTLE gateway product.

Thanks for the pointers...I'll come back if I hit roadblocks :)

What are the chances, right? ;-) OpenWRT is something I'm relatively interested in myself. Here's the problem; you'll have to patch your way onward from their mainline kernel, which is "v3.14 or newer" for ChaosCalmer: wiki.openwrt.org/.../history

Currently I believe it's v3.14 that is in their trunk.

Cheers, Håkon
