I am working on a project in Contiki-NG using one udp-server and several udp-clients. Up to this moment, I've been using only these firmwares, emulated in Contiki Cooja as Sky Motes, but now I need to add a RPL Border Router, which will be the DAG root, in order to perform pings with tunslip6 tool.
However, I can't seem to compile this tool as explained in the tutorials available in github... The ReadMe file in the examples folder says: "It supports two main modes of operation: embedded and native."
Does this mean I can't use tunslip6 with RPL-Border-Router from Contiki-NG Cooja? I remember that I was able to perform that when using the Contiki-3.x version of this example.
Thank you in advance.
For connections with the Cooja simulator, you need to make the target connect-router-cooja instead of the target connect-router. In the first case, the border router connection is made via a TCP socket. In the second case, it is made by opening a serial device file.
The Cooja and border router setup is descibed in a separate Wiki page: https://github.com/contiki-ng/contiki-ng/wiki/Cooja:-simulating-a-border-router
