Understood. As you may recall from my first post, we will in fact be interfacing to both a USB stick, and a serial interfaced device, which I presume are both such SoCs. But what talks to those - the tools hosted by this project? > If OpenZware is reimplementing Zwave I hope the licenses are in order. > I'm pretty skeptical that the Zware protocol has been licensed GPL > compatible. The OpenZWave implementation is completely clean-room. Beyond that, I'd prefer not to speculate further. > Here is an open source Zigbee implementation: > http://freaklabs.org/index.php/FreakZ-Open-Source-Zigbee-Stack.html > > The problem with it is that you can't ship it without paying money to > the Zigbee Alliance. Noted. But FreakZ seems to be stale. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cloud Computing - Latest Buzzword or a Glimpse of the Future?
