DOI: 10.1201/9781003303206-13

With the hope that we could understand some basics about IoT devices, let us attempt the design of a 6LoWPAN LC as well the 6LoWPAN Node. For the sake of design completion, we shall talk about 6LoWPAN Border Router (LBR). LBR is full function router that demarks the LoWPAN network from the external Internet world. We shall not be concentrating and working on the LBR presently.

Hardware is the heart of the design consideration and we have already identified many companies and different microcontrollers. To start with as an example, one can consider the Texas Instruments (TI) CC-6LoWPAN-DK-868 development kit, which includes CC1180 Network Processor and CC430 SoC, etc. The details ...
