As I discuss it with Maxim some days ago, we're able to run 802.15.4 "frame compatible" L1/L2 protocol above WPC powerline media. What I'm trying to do is make a "proof of concept" of linux-zigbee interfacing with our media.
So what I'm currently plugging to the serial (USB/serial in fact) is our existing hardware "dongle" USB <=> WPC (power outlet) (WPC15.4 + ATmega1281 + FTDI Chip ). Then i'm working to have as soon as possible (next days ... i hope) a firmware on this dongle able to be connected to your "serial driver" (according to your driver source code of course). First, I'll use your python test-serial tools for firmware validation purpose. Is that ok ? When all this will be available i'll be happy to try some of our existing WPC15.4 devices ( plugged on power outlet). Some of our existing firmwares are able to run a full compliant not beaconed 802.15.4-2003 specification (based on an ATmel implementation (Rdk230)). For a first try i'd like to : -> either make Linux-zigbee act as a Device connected to an existing Coord on the powerline, -> or make Linux-zigbee act as a Coord for existing Devices onthe powerline -> then maybe test a chat over WPC (...And what i hope is that the only thing we should have to, is to cope with some timing differences ...) Consequently, what i would like to achieve, is to create the attachement "izattach" to my "WPC dongle", then use your tools "iz, izchat". But the Wiki "Howto" just talk about "fakelb" using. (Notice that fakelb currently does not work for me :O( Cf PS1 ...) So how can i find and use a newly attached serial device ? If it's possible, what should be the <iface> parameter for "iz" and "izchat" softwares ? Anyway your last answer seems to say that it's not possible whith current git sources ? In that case, do you have an other idea for me to achieve my "proof of concept" ? (maybe using a source code sample to attach and use this serial device connected to your 802.15.4 stack) ? Best regards, and in any case many thank's for "linux-zigbee" project ! PS0: At the moment i'm only working with git sources for user-space tools and with your your branch "devel", snapshot from 2008/08/12 for my Kernel. PS1: Did you see my first mail "Can't get "fakelb" interface up ?". I forgot to address it to "linux-zigbee-devel@lists.sourceforge.net". Would you like me to do it ? PS2: About "linux-zigbee-devel@lists.sourceforge.net" How can i keep my following mails in the same thread if they have to ?
