Hi again, I just used the following pin configuration for the AT86RF233 transceiver now:-
#define AT86RF2XX_PARAMS_BOARD { .spi = SPI_0, \ .spi_speed = SPI_SPEED_5MHZ, \ .cs_pin = GPIO_PIN(PORT_E, 0), \ .int_pin = GPIO_PIN(PORT_E, 1), \ .sleep_pin = GPIO_PIN(PORT_E, 2), \ .reset_pin = GPIO_PIN(PORT_E, 3)} I still have the same problem. I have the following relevant modules included in my Makefile:- ... USEMODULE += gnrc_netdev_default USEMODULE += auto_init_gnrc_netif GNRC_NETIF_NUMOF := 2 USEMODULE += ethos gnrc_netdev2 CFLAGS += '-DETHOS_UART=UART_DEV(0)' -DETHOS_BAUDRATE=115200 -DUSE_ETHOS_FOR_STDIO USEMODULE += at86rf233 ... Any hints/clues would be appreciated. /Adeel > -----Original Message----- > From: Adeel Mohammad Malik > Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2016 6:33 PM > To: RIOT OS kernel developers > Subject: RE: [riot-devel] Connecting STM32F4Discovery & AT86RF233 > > Hi Peter and Thomas, > > I was quite skeptical about my pin connections/configurations.
