Hi,
we have received a small quantity of IRIS motes and then we have started to work with them. As the ATMEL AT86RF230 datasheet says, it is possible to set the CLKM of the radio up as the clock of the microcontroller. In that case, if the radio is in a reception state and the microcontroller is not running an application is possible to power down the microcontroller but keep on the reception state. If a new frame is received, the radio is able to wake up the microcontroller. So, a power saving strategy could be implemented. In order to achive that, it is necessary to program CLKM with a correct frecuency (such as 4MHz or 8MHz for IRIS mote). But looking up into the code (HplRF230.h), I have found that TRX_CTRL_0_VALUE is set to 0 instead of 0x03 or 0x04, for instance. With this configuration it is not possible to turn off the microcontroller from the radio. Is it possible to configure that kind of operation? I also have tried to find out the schematics of IRIS so as to know if both radio and microcontroller share CLKM, but I've found nothing. Is there any schematic of IRIS platform? Regards, Carlos
