Setup 6lbr to run 6LowPAN with CC2531 USB dongle on Raspberry Pi 2B

1. Unzip and flash a CC2531 USB dongle with cc2531-slip-radio_contikimac.zip.
2. SSH login to Raspberry Pi.
3. sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
4. sudo apt-get install bridge-utils
5. sudo vi /boot/cmdline.txt file and add the following configuration parameter in the beginning of cmdline.txt
    dwc_otg.speed=1
6a. git clone --recursive https://github.com/cetic/6lbr
6b. cd 6lbr and run "sudo git submodule sync" and "sudo git submodule update --init"
7. cd 6lbr/examples/6lbr
8. make all plugins tools ---> This step takes lots of time so go for a break!
9. sudo make install
10. Create /etc/6lbr/6lbr.conf with the content below
      MODE=ROUTER

      RAW_ETH=1
      BRIDGE=0
      DEV_BRIDGE=br0
      DEV_TAP=tap0
      DEV_ETH=eth0
      RAW_ETH_FCS=0

      DEV_RADIO=/dev/ttyACM0
      BAUDRATE=115200

      LOG_LEVEL=3
11. Change to channel 25,which is used by cc26xx Contiki port
      $sudo /usr/lib/6lbr/bin/nvm_tool --update --channel 25 /etc/6lbr/nvm.dat
12. Run "/usr/lib/6lbr/bin/nvm_tool --print /etc/6lbr/nvm.dat" to make sure it switches to channel 25.

13. Plug CC2531 USB dongle to Raspberry Pi and the dongle should appear as /dev/ttyACM0. Run "sudo lsusb -v" to verify this.

14. run "sudo service 6lbr start" to start 6lbr.

15. Open browser like Firefox and input [bbbb::100].

    Hey, im found of your amazing works at developing and sharing your research with community.

    But can i have a litte tip? I cant really start my 6lbr cuz when i ty "6lbr start" stuff at my console at first it says that there is no such thing as 6lbr.service, and after rebooting it gives no output at all. [bbbb::100] doesnt work in both cases. So, any suggestions?

      I too got the 6lbr.service not found error initially.
      I tried make install again and found it to be working after that.

      pi@mypi:~/6lbr/examples/6lbr $ sudo service 6lbr start
      pi@mypi:~/6lbr/examples/6lbr $ ps -eaf | grep 6lbr

    Thank you for the great instruction. I was able to follow through your post and successfully installed 6lbr on my debian (I am using Beaglebone Black with CC2531 dongle).
    However, I have a few question to ask.

    On my nvm data file, it states WSN accpe RA : false and I cannot connect to web-browser using [bbbb:100]. I cannot solve this problem on my own and I am stuck at this step.

    Hope you can give me any suggestion to solve this.

    Thank you.

      go to /6lbr folder and run "git checkout ff69ae4214407eeec4c71f87589ac4bc7d3a8a49". You will get 6lbr version on 2016 Dec. 22th and you can rebuild 6lbr to test again.

      I use the same hardware and got a similar issue: nothing happened after running "sudo service 6lbr start" and I cannot access [bbbb::100]., but my 6lbr.log is slightly different

      You can use CC2650 as slip radio instead of CC2531
