cc2531: How to create a correct network bridge between the raspberry pi and a windows laptop with an ethernet connection?

Part Number: CC2531
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650

I m trying to configure the setup from the cc26xx tutorial from the following link

I have a ethernet cable connected from the raspberry pi to a windows laptop. For this tutorial, on the windows machine are you expected to bridge the ethernet with Wi-Fi in network settings? I did this in order for the raspberry pi to obtain an IPv4 address and for internet access on the pi. I was able to get access to the bbbb::100 webpage. However, from the 6lbr GitHub configuration the network interface setup involves enabling br0 and tap0 from the following link,

In addition the video shows a similar setup

Is this required? So on the raspberry pi, should the bridge be used? e.g display br0 in ifconfig. For NAT64, you need to know the IPv4 address of the pi and i m a little confused as to wether the address should be appearing under eth0 or br0. I am having problems getting the cc2650 to appear on the 6lbr webpage. It would help if the wiki tutorial had more information of the setup of the network interface.

I see you have two nodes, _5201 and _5101 listed on 6lbr sensor page. What do you mean "you have problems getting the cc2650 to appear on the 6lbr webpage?"

This isn't my video. I was just using it as an example to see if this is the network interface that is expected. I am trying to achieve whats in the video.

So, can you attach your own screen shot so I can know your problem better?

My network interface on the pi is attached. Also attached is the how i bridged connections on the windows machine.

The 6lbr page results in the following. Note I can see neighbours in status but sensors do not appear.

There's something wrong with latest 6lbr. You can 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 m not very experienced using git. When i tried running "git checkout ff69ae4214407eeec4c71f87589ac4bc7d3a8a49", it had problems. The resulting error was as follows,

errors : your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout:

examples/6lbr-demo/project-conf.h

examples/ipv6/slip-radio/project-conf.h

Please commit your changes or stash them before you can switch branches

I m not really sure of the branches that are being used.

I think you had made some changes in those files and cause the problem. You can git a new copy of 6lbr and 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.

Ok thank you, I will try this out tomorrow and see if it works. I think it should be mentioned in the wiki tutorial because it would have saved me a lot of time working on something that was never going to work. I think someone should update the wiki page.

It's not a issue from wiki. It's about the source code on GitHub and I see no reason to update wiki.
