I don't think 0x00 0x3F is right. In section 5.2 of IEEE802.15.4 standard, the second paragraph said :
The frames in the MAC sublayer are described as a sequence of fields in a specific order. All frame formats in this subclause are depicted in the order in which they are transmitted by the PHY, from left to right, where the leftmost bit is transmitted first in time. Bits within each field are numbered from 0 (leftmost and least significant) to k – 1 (rightmost and most significant), where the length of the field is k bits. Fields that are longer than a single octet are sent to the PHY in the order from the octet containing the lowest numbered bits to the octet containing the highest numbered bits. When transmitting the data, we should make sure b0 goest first. *For termination header IE * *1) Header IE: list termination:* *len = 0 as bits 0-6* *id = 0x7e as bits 7-14* *type = 0 as bit 15* *header = len + id << 7 which gives 0x3f00* When transmitting the 00 3F, the bit transmitted by PHT is bit 7, not b0. => in the document, it is currently 00 FC: 0000000 01111110 0, The first 7 bits goes is len field bit0-bit6: 0000000, then goes ID: b7-b14 7E 01111110, then type bit 15 0. Which is Correct. Tengfei On Tue, Jun 23, 2015 at 12:14 AM, Xavier Vilajosana < [email protected]> wrote: > Dear Simon, > > thanks for your comments. I might have messed bits up with endianness.
