Actually, I've been using the mc13213. I don't have a 13224 dev kit and haven't looked into what's available just yet. I imagine that the MAC interface is quite similar between the two parts. > > I believe an open source link wrapper for the ROM exists.

I'm trying to stick within the bounds of the 802.15.4 standard, so accessing the ROM should be acceptable. > 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. Similar problem with the 13213 except that there is no ROM with the MAC in it, the MAC is just a library you link to. > > There is work going one here; > http://mc1322x.devl.org/ > http://code.google.com/p/open-mc13224v/ Thanks, I'll check it out.
