[riot-devel] From hwtimer to xtimer: What Changes for RIOT Features?

2015-12-09 Thread ROUSSEL Kévin
Hello everyone, As (I suppose) everybody here knows, the 'hwtimer' kernel feature has been replaced by the 'xtimer' module. Consequently, I'm wondering about some features that were specific to RIOT OS, and how they have evolved. More precisely, I have questions to ask: 1] Is RIOT OS

[riot-devel] Device ID feature in RIOT

2015-06-19 Thread ROUSSEL Kévin
Hello everyone, I just wanted to know if there was already a feature to determine a mote's unique ID (when available) in RIOT. Such a feature can be highly desirable when running a test on many devices (I think about IoT-LAB testbed, for example), to automatically assign/compute node

Hello everyone, I'm currently trying to test my developments on a pair of SAM R21 evaluation boards. Surprisingly, I just cannot manage to receive any packet on these devices... While the emitting and the receiving one are both sitting on my desk! Of course, I checked that both the boards

Hello, I began to use function pointers in the 'radio_driver.h' when trying to create a unified model for radio drivers. I guess it went over later to the whole netdev effort. My idea then was to have a fast, predictable call chain from the MAC layer to the physical radio transceiver

[riot-devel] 'defalut' example on SAMR21 Xplained Pro

Hello everyone, Does the 'default' example work correctly on SAMR21 Xplained Pro? I compiled and flashed successfully this application on the Xplained Pro I have; but when doing 'make term', I just can't obtain any output from the board (via the same debug USB port I used to flash). Was

[riot-devel] Suggested new platform for RIOT: calling for volunteers

Hello everyone, Since RIOT has been adapted to the AVR architecture, there is a chip that--I think--would be a great platform for development and production: the ATmega 256RFR2. The RFR2 family is presented here: http://www.atmel.com/devices/ATMEGA256RFR2.aspx but to sum it up, this MCU

Hello everyone, It's been a few months now since an AVR device (Arduino Mega) port has been available in RIOT. Does somebody use it regularly? I would like to try some developments on AVR, and I was wondering if AVR support was production-ready, or if there was still rough edges to aware

Hello everyone, Maybe was it already envisioned, but another strategy would be dual licensing, something akin to what FreeRTOS does for example. Using this scheme: * we got (L)GPL by default, for academic contributors and everyone that has nothing against open-source; * the same code can be

companies could as well implement the missing bits themselves. That being said I would also be excited to see some bigger company contribute to RIOT. If switching to MIT is what it takes to achieve this, I'm fine with it. Cheers, Ludwig On Mon, Dec 15, 2014 at 09:51:13AM +0100, ROUSSEL Kévin wrote
