Hi Francesco,

welcome to RIOT first of all.

Cool that you are working with the UDOO boards! BLE development with these boards would indeed be a little difficult, as I don't know any shields without fully integrated network stack, that would allow for access to the BLE link layer.

Porting the Xbee device to RIOT is unfortunately already almost finished [1] - I am just sitting on the last fixes and will release a PR in the next couple of days...

The security aspect however is not yet included. Taking this to a more general approach (valid for not only the xbee device) is however a very hot topic. Here I would indeed see a project for GSOC. Do you have already any further ideas what you would like to do in this direction? It would be nice, if you could roughly sketch our your ideas, so we can discuss them further.

Cheers,
Hauke

Hi,

my name is Francesco Ermini, and I'm student in electronics and telecommunication engineering at the University of Florence,Italy.

My current Ms.C. thesis is about IoT secure communications. Our testbed is made by some UDOO Quad boards, with Linux + RiOT as operating systems (the UDOO can host two OSes at once). I checked the GSOC ideas page, and I found the Bluetooth Low Energy driver one. Although interesting, using BTLE wouldn't rally match my current work. However, we also found that the XBee shield is not yet supported in RiOT (open bug / feature request). This would match a bit more my thesis work, and my (evil) tutor would be happier.

My question is: what about implementing the XBee driver (including the dynamic security keys setup) ?

Best regards,

Francesco
