Hi Xilian,

1) Did you realize that the Xbee is based on Uart like Hauke stated? I totally forgot that. Means that you *may* be able to use it with the mega2560. Still, if it's not about the money or the 8-bit avr stuff I'd recommend to use the Atmel board.

2) The board I am talking about is this one:

http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Atmel/ATSAMR21-XPRO/?qs=%2fha2pyFaduinoflRfGzRdS4dlh0TRHsHwck%2fQEeul8k%3d

3) AFAIK ccn-lite is based on the old network stack which is not maintained anymore. Doesn't mean that nobody on the mailing list could answer specific questions. I don't now much about the latest status and future plans of ccn-lite. As far as I see it, the old transceiver driver for Atmel's transceiver is still in RIOT master.

Would be nice if someone with more knowledge can report about the ccn-lite status!

Best,
Peter

Hi Peter,

   Thanks for your answer and suggestion.

Regarding the Atmel sam21 board, I did some research about this board. Are the following items are the correct choice for this board?

  Please help me to confirm this if you have time.

BTW, our goal is to test ccn-lite on RIOT, so as long as the transceiver works, ccn-lite stack should work, am I right?

  Thanks,

Xili

    Hi Xili,

    in addition to Kaspars mail: The Arduino-mega2560 has no GPIO
    implementation right now (and also no SPI). That's why there is no
    transceiver support even if we have this architecure-independet
    drivers. You could use other boards to drive your Xbee like stm
    boards or arduino-due. They are cheaper but you need cables. (When
    using arduino-due be aware of the pinout, I'm not sure if we
    already managed to configure the pins so one could just plug the
    Xbee shield on the board).

    Regarding the Atmel sam21: Even if the status is "in progress" I
    recommend that platform. It is well supported in RIOT and used by
    many of our core developers. I think "in progress" means that not
    all features are implemented now. But the most are, right now.

    Best,
    Peter

                 Actually, we have a Xbee transceiver hardware attached to
            Arduino-mega2560. My question is that "Does RIOT has the
            driver support for
            some transceiver hardware (for example, Xbee transceiver)
            for Arduino mega
            2560 boards?".

        RIOT's design has architecture-independent drivers. Xbee is
        supported.
        You should be able to use this combination.

        That said, the network stack is in flux right now. While
        link-layer
        communication should work rather nice, higher layers, e.g.,
        6lowpan, are
        in stabilzation phase right now.

For the board "Atmel samr21 xplained pro" you recommend, the supported
            platform table
            (https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/wiki/RIOT-Platforms) says
            this board's support status is "In Progress". I don't know
            whether we can
            choose this or not.

        A lot of core devs are using the samr21, so it's probably the most
        supported board wrt networking.

        Kaspar
