Are you using the ROM on the mc13224? I believe an open source link wrapper for the ROM exists. Is having access to the ROM enough, or do you need more code from the Freescale kit. Join the bandwagon of people complaining to Freescale to release the source for the ROM or at least make an open source friendly dev kit.

What about 6lowpan/ROLL/6lowapp instead? Those protocols are supposed to not be license encumbered so they are ok for adding to the kernel. Isn't Zigbee suppose to be morphing into 6lowpan/ROLL/6lowapp long term anyway? > > Andrew > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day > trial.
