== Using the CC2650 Sensor Tag as a SLIP-radio for Contiki/6lbr ==

These instructions detail how you can use the [http://www.ti.com/sensortag CC2650 Sensor Tag] connected to a Linux host as a 6LoWPAN Border Router based on Contiki's [https://github.com/cetic/6lbr/wiki 6LBR].

=== SLIP-Radio ===

The SLIP-radio firmware runs on the CC2650 Sensor Tag and connects to the Linux host via a asynchronous serial port ('SLIP') through the [http://www.ti.com/tool/cc-devpack-debug SensorTag Debugger DevPack]. 

==== Prerequisites ====

Install the following prerequisites (assuming an Ubuntu 15.04 build machine):

<PRE>
sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi
sudo apt-get install git
</PRE>

==== Build SLIP-radio.bin Firmware ====

Next, obtain a copy of [http://www.contiki-os.org/ Contiki-OS] and build the slip-radio binary:

<PRE>
git clone --recursive https://github.com/contiki-os/contiki.git
cd contiki/examples/ipv6/slip-radio
make TARGET=srf06-cc26xx BOARD=sensortag/cc2650 slip-radio.bin
</PRE>

==== Program your SensorTag ====

Program your SensorTag with the [http://www.ti.com/tool/flash-programmer SmartRF Flash Programmer 2]

=== 6lbr ===

6lbr can run on a linux host, be that a x86/x64 PC or an ARM based [http://beagleboard.org/BLACK Beaglebone Black] or [https://www.raspberrypi.org/ Raspberry PI]

==== Prerequisites ====

Install the following prerequisites (assuming an Ubuntu 15.04 build machine):
