The module `slipdev` (Serial line IP) enables the RIOT network stack to
|
2015-03-23 14:24:50 +01:00
|
|
|
communicate IP packets over the serial interface. This collection of tools
|
|
|
|
|
originally from Contiki [1] enables Linux to interpret this data. Though there
|
|
|
|
|
is a tool for such operations on Linux (`slattach`) it is only able to handle

|
|
|
IPv4 packages and is unnecessarily complicated.

# Installation
|
|
|
|
|
Just install them using
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``` {.sh}
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default they are installed to the `/usr/local/bin` directory, you can however
|
|
|
|
|
change that by setting the PREFIX environment variable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``` {.sh}
|
|
|
|
|
export PREFIX=${HOME}/.local
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
|
|
|
`tapslip6` allows you to open a TAP interface (includes link-layer data) for
|
|
|
|
|
a serial interace handling IPv6 data,
|
|
|
|
|
`tunslip` allows you to open a TUN interface (includes only network-layer data)
|
|
|
|
|
for a serial interace handling IPv4 data, and
|
|
|
|
|
`tunslip6` allows you to open a TUN interface (includes only network-layer data)
|
|
|
|
|
for a serial interace handling IPv6 data.

|
|
``` {.sh}
|
|
|
|
|
tapslip -h
|
|
|
|
|
tunslip -h
|
|
|
|
