Mbed-client-example-6lowpan error 6

Mbed OS
1

Hi,

I’ve been using the device_server branch from GitHub - ARMmbed/mbed-client-example-6lowpan at device_server without any problems. To switch from Device Server to Connector, I’ve updated the gateway router with the dynamic binary, undefined USING_DEVICE_SERVER and updated security.h with the security credentials. I’m now getting the following error:

From what I can find, ‘error 6’ represents ‘NetworkError’, but I can’t get any more information than that. Also, is there a way to view the terminal output from the gateway routers for debugging?

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

This 6lowpan example is not expected to work out of the box, as you need IPv6 connectivity. If you happen to have IPv6 internet access, then it should just work…

Btw, the baudrate for the gw is 460800.
