RaspberryPi 6lowPAN Networking

Duration: 5 Days

Course Background

The purpose of this course is to cover the theory and practice of 6lowPAN networking and how to implement a 6lowPAN border router using a RaspberryPi and a Microchip MRF24J40 transceiver , implement a 6lowPAN network based on this router and develop 6lowPAN based applications in C or Python. The course will also cover upper layer protocols such as CoAP the Constrained Application Protocol and EXI (Efficient XML Interchange Format)

Course Prerequisites and Target Audience

Attendees should have a working knowledge of the RaspberryPi as well as basic Bash, C and/or Python programming experience.
