[Linux-zigbee-devel] Hardware support for 6LoWPAN

2013-08-30 Thread Roncsák Tamás
Hello!
I was looking forward about supported hardwares and I found the wiki page ( 
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/linux-zigbee/wiki/HardwareSupport 
[http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/linux-zigbee/wiki/HardwareSupport] ) about 
this. In the table of 'Mainline Kernel'  AT86RF231 is present. I would like to 
know whether AT86RF232B is supported? 
(http://www.atmel.com/devices/AT86RF212B.aspx 
[http://www.atmel.com/devices/AT86RF212B.aspx]) It is a transceiver and it 
seems like it supports 6LoWPAN quite good. So my question is AT86RF212B planned 
to be supported or it is out of the scope? What about MSP430 family from TI and 
SI1014 from Silicon labs?

Another point of view: may I contribute to the IEEE802.15.4 and 6LoWPAN Stack 
for Linux in the case I have a working implementation for the hardwares 
mentioned above?

Thanks in advance,

Dear Tamas,

Linux-zigbee is not a commercial project, no one pays to developers for
their work. There are a couple of enthusiastic engineers who keep project
alive by contributing (many thanks to they). But I doubt if somebody has
clear development product plan.

I guess there is only one reason why you can't contribute Linux, you tried
to commit crap several times and kernel janitors banned you. So, please,
feel free to send your code to this mail-list.

Alex

Dear Alex,

I would like to use this for my undergraduate thesis and my options for 
hardware are those 3. I'm doing research at the moment, no code was written, 
yet. My thesis main topic is hardware related and I would like to work with 
software as less as possible. However, it seems it won't happen. :)

Thanks for your comment, anyway ;)

So far, it isnt't. It looks quite similar to the AT86RF230 family
(now grown to no less than four members), so it may not be overly
difficult to adapt the AT86RF23x driver.

As Alexander has hinted, the scope of the project is mainly
determined by what people contribute :-)

As far as I remember rf212, main difference was in channel setup registers.
So you would have to:
1) Add a case to switch (lp->part) in at86rf230_probe() function
2) Change at86rf230_channel to differentiate behavior depending
  on lp->part value (current code works for rf230/1, you need to add
  code for rf212).

As far as I remember this should be enough.

So please don't forget a patch/questions to this ML, enabling support
for additional chips would be easy topic and good contribution.
