To support this using a Raven stick on Contiki, you'd need to implement a standard USB serial device on the Raven stick. That would make the Raven stick look like a serial device to linux-zigbee. Econotag has hardware (FT232) that does this. However, there is already a CDC Ethernet implementation for the Raven device. That would probably be a better way to attach to linux-zigbee. You may need to modify the CDC Ethernet implementation to handle 8 byte MAC addresses. I'm not sure whether or not CDC Ethernet looks at the addresses. Then use PHY commands to change the radio channel, etc.... > > Kind regards, > Maxim > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: > Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen. > Find and fix more than 250 security defects in the development cycle. > Locate bottlenecks in serial and parallel code that limit performance. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/intel-dev2devfeb > _______________________________________________ > Linux-zigbee-devel mailing list > Linux-zigbee-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-zigbee-devel > -- Jon Smirl jonsm...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
