I wouldn't do that. Way too much unnecessary work. Start with a kernel that already has it built in, like in your case the BeagleBone 3.7 kernel. > But, i have some doubts.

That's a great question, and I don't know that I fully have the answer. The best answer I can give is that the line between hard and soft MAC is a bit fuzzy in the Linux implementation. > As i sad, i just need access the MRF24J40 driver to write and read raw > data, without any application on the top. > What is the best way to do that? > If you just need raw 802.15.4 data, without 6lowpan, then have a look at the izchat userspace example.
