Linux based Sub GHz border router for 6lowpan

beaglebone+cc1310EM and the Weptech gateway are the ones we know based on TI parts.

Thanks for quick reply :). Documentation of weptech showing that border router can support upto 32 nodes. Is it due to limited RAM(CC2538 has only 32KB ram)?
Anyone used beaglebone as border router to deploy commercial project?
This tutorial(processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Cc26xx_sw_examples) uses beagle bone+cc1310EM+6lbr for border router. Is there any limiting factor on the number of child nodes if I use this combination as border router?

Thanks

The weptech solution should be able to support up to ~100 nodes, I think 32 is hardcoded in the current software. Beaglebone has much more memory and will not be limited by this factor. Physical constraints as the total data pr time unit is (number of nodes, datarate, retransmits etc)

Hi all, I'm Marcus from Thingsquare.

The Weptech gateway is one of the gateways we use with our system. It supports sub-GHz and 2.4 GHz, switchable with just a firmware update - very nifty.

With the Weptech gateway we have no need for a Linux gateway. We scale the network to thousands of devices, some directly routable, most not directly routable but still addressable. RAM is, as previous posters mentioned, a limitation to when it comes to number of devices it can hold routes to, but in practice, this really is less of an issue and the number of devices a single gateway becomes practically limitless.

As to exact metrics this is very hard to give since it depends on so many factors: the application (send rates, data usage, etc), total number of devices, network depth, sub-GHz or 2.4, rf environment, etc, etc. We typically simulate and test new networks in situ to find if the network needs reinforcements by eg partitioning the network.

Feel free to hit me up at marcus@thingsquare.com if you want to further discuss our system.

Best,
Marcus

Hi there, I hope everybody is fine.

I have a problem linked with this issue, sorry if it's not the right place to ask my question.

I would like to design a 6LoWPAN network using contiki, make a border router with a cc1310 and communicate with an other cc1310 which would be an edge (for the moment I don't need to be connected to the internet). I tried to do "make TARGET=srf06-cc26xx BOARD=launchpad/cc1310 PORT=/dev/ttyACM0 border-router.upload" from the cc25... example but there are compiling errors, it seems that some include are missing. So here are my questions:
- Can I use a cc1310 as a border router? If yes, what should I change in the code example or from what should I start?
- Where can I find a code that I could use (I don't care if I have to modify it, but I need a starting point) to implement a cc1310 as a 6LowPAN edge?

Thank you very much for your help and cheers!

It is possible. We have preliminary support for it, look more here: www.thingsquare.com/.../

Hello take a look here

meazon.com/.../

its based on sitara, cc2538 and cc1200
