Setup USB-KW24D512 as a SLIP Radio

[weijiawu]

We bought an Ls1021a-twr such an IoT gateway and a USB-KW24D512. This USB-KW24D512 will be plugged in the gateway (LS1021A-TWR) such an antenna. And we bought some Sensortags (CC2650STK) from Texas Instruments. These sensortags are used as the end-point device that communicates with the gateway (LS1021A-TWR). They are based on Contiki OS.

My question is how to setup the USB-KW24D512 such a SLIP radio, which can receives the packet from sensor tags (CC2650STK) and then passes to the gateway?

By the away, an application 6LBR, which acts as a border router, will be installed on the gateway, so we want the USB-KW24D512 can work with this application.

Thanks

According to "Supported Hardware" page on 6LBR github page, LS1021A-TWR hardware is not supported:

Supported Hardware · cetic/6lbr Wiki · GitHub

Also, there is a way to install 6LBR on Linux PC with debian-like Linux distribution

Other Linux Software Configuration · cetic/6lbr Wiki · GitHub

Our Linux in LS1021A-TWR board is quite far from Debian-like Linux distribution

Hello alexander

Thank you for your reply.

So it's impossible to install directly 6LBR on LS1021A-TWR?

But my main question is how to setup USB-KW24D512 such a SLIP radio (like an antenna interface for LS1021A-TWR)?

Thanks

I do not think it is completely "impossible". Theoreticaly everything is possible, but definitely - not so easy as on Debian-like Linux PC.

If I'm not wrong, we do not have any experience on installing USB-KW24D512 to LS1021A-TWR board, but please double check in Kinetis community, as this product USB-KW24D512 is from Kinetis product segment.

In our situation, we want to build a network, which is based on the 6lowpan or Zigbee. So, which component can be used with LS1021A-TWR for the wireless communication? Could you please give me some suggestion?  Thank you
