 Note: If the generated binary is bigger than the MOTE code size, then you will get a "region text is full" error.
 Right now, REST+HTTP example uses (Contiki + ContikiMAC + uIPv6 + RPL + HTTP Server + REST Layer) which does not fit in Tmote Sky memory. 
 To save same code space and make the example fit, you can define static routes rather than using RPL or use nullrdc rather than ContikiMAC.
+If border router does not fit, then first try to update the Makefile of border router in <CONTIKI_HOME>/examples/ipv6/rpl-border-router by
