Tobuildtheborderrouter:
cdcontiki2.x/examples/ipv6/rplborderrouter
makeTARGET=redbeeeconotag

Thiswillproducethebinaryimage'borderrouter_redbeeeconotag.bin',whichyoucanloaddirectlyontoanmc1322x
andexecute.
Tobuildtheudpclient,do:
cdcontiki2.x/examples/ipv6/udpclient
makeTARGET=redbeeeconotag

whichwillbuild'udpclient_redbeeeconotag.bin'.
