[Linux-zigbee-devel] Evaluating ZigBee under Linux

2011-12-13 Thread Peter Naulls

Hi guys, I'm looking at Zigbee options for Linux.  In practical
terms, there seems to be this project and the stuff done by
EmberZNet.

My most immediate problem however is that the linux-zigbee tools
don't compile for my eventual target (OpenWrt) since that has
a rather newer version of libnl than is in e.g, Ubuntu.  So,
I need some patches there ;-)

My target ZigBee hardware is the EM260 over a serial port and also some
other USB dongle, which I don't know the details of just yet,
which I guess will also be serial.

I have the sources to the Ember stuff from the target hardware's
SDK, ported to OpenWrt without issue, and that seems to "just work",
but I really don't know enough about the parts and layers to
try stuff out.   My most recent background is working with OpenZWave
which I've done a great deal improvement to.

So, I could do with a primer of ZigBee (esp. vs Z-Wave) at this kind
of level, as well as a comparison of the two solutions.  If linux-zigbee
seems right for us, then I'll hopefully be making contributions here
too.

Regards.

the libnl version should be 1.1. In this particular libnl the iz tools
compile
