Hello,
Apple has added Bluetooth Smart 4.2 support to the iPad Pro, AIR 2 and Mini 4. One of the features of Bluetooth Smart 4.2 is the ability to use IPv6 over Low-power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPAN) (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7668). We are looking at developing devices that will communicate with phones and tablets using 6LoWPAN. We are in the process of developing a proof of concept using the nRF51 Development kits (https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/nRF51-DK) and already have the ability to communicate over IPv6 via the bluetooth radio from devices like the Raspberry Pi to the development kit.
We are beginning to look at tablets now. I have read through the core bluetooth and the home kit documents but have not seen a way to connect to and communicate over IPv6 with a bluetooth connection. I am able to use core bluetooth to scan and find our devices but I am unable to connect to them. With the home kit, when I perform a scan I do not see our devices.
I am not sure if I am totoally missing something but I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction (at least what framework I should be using).
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
