The cc110x driver has been re-written from scratch to overcome the limitations
of the old driver. The main motivation of the rewrite was to achieve better
maintainability by a detailed documentation, reduce the complexity and the
overhead of the SPI communication with the device, and to allow to
simultaneously use transceivers with different configuration regarding the used
base band, the channel bandwidth, the modulation rate, and the channel map.
Features of this driver include:
- Support for the CC1100, CC1101, and the CC1100e sub-gigahertz transceivers.
- Detailed documentation of every aspect of this driver.
- An easy to use configuration API that allows setting the transceiver
configuration (modulation rate, channel bandwidth, base frequency) and the
channel map.
- Fast channel hopping by pre-calibration of the channels during device
configuration (so that no calibration is needed during hopping).
- Simplified SPI communication: Only during start-up the MCU has to wait
for the transceiver to be ready (for the power regulators and the crystal
to stabilize). The old driver did this for every SPI transfer, which
resulted in complex communication code. This driver will wait on start up
for the transceiver to power up and then use RIOT's SPI API like every other
driver. (Not only the data sheet states that this is fine, it also proved to
be reliable in practise.)
- Greatly reduced latency: The RTT on the old driver (@150 kbps data rate) was
about 16ms, the new driver (@250 kbps data rate) has as RTT of ~3ms
(depending on SPI clock and on CPU performance) (measured with ping6).
- Increased reliability: The preamble size and the sync word size have been
doubled compared to the old driver (preamble: 8 bytes instead of 4,
sync word: 4 byte instead of 2). The new values are the once recommended by
the data sheet for reliable communication.
- Basic diagnostic during driver initialization to detect common issues as
SPI communication issues and GDO pin configuration/wiring issues.
- TX power configuration with netdev_driver_t::set() API-integration
- Calls to netdev_driver_t::send() block until the transmission has completed
to ease the use of the API (implemented without busy waiting, so that the
MCU can enter lower power states or other threads can be executed).
- Removed cc110x driver
- Updated all makefiles
- Kept both board specific configurations and support for it in RIOT's
upper layers, so re-implementations don't need to start from zero
stm32eth: Move to stm32_common periph
cpu/stm32_periph_eth: Rebase to current master branch
- Update DMA to use new vendor headers
- Update send to use iolist. It looks like the packet headers are now transfered as seperate iolist entries which results in the eth periph sending each header as own packet. To fix this a rather ugly workaround is used where the whole iolist content is first copied to a static buffer. This will be fixed soon in another commit
- If MAC is set to zero use luid to generate one
- Small code style fixes

The auto initialization of the sht1x module differs from the initialization of
other sensors, but previously no documentation pointed that out. This lack of
documentation led to a bug being introduced. This commit provides the previously
missing documentation.
- the driver for sht1x is initialized two times
- the second initialization is done only when SAUL is used, but sht1x needs
to be initialized in any case. (SAUL registration is also done there, but
only when SAUL is actually being used.)
This commit fixes both.
SAUL read functionality implemented only, as described in
tsl4531x_saul.c.
This driver will work with SAUL in both low and high power modes,
with the startup mode configurable in tsl4531x_params.h.
- Use RIOT's GPIO interface to access the sensor to increase portability
- Changed API to allow more than one sensor per board
- Added `sht1x_params.h` that specifies how the sensors is connected - each
board can overwrite default settings by #defining SHT1X_PARAM_CLK and
SHT1X_PARAM_DATA
- Changed arithmetic to use integer calculations only instead of floating point
arithmetic
- Added support for checking the CRC sum
- Allow optional skipping of the CRC check to speed up measuring
- Added support for advanced features like reducing the resolution and skipping
calibration to speed up measuring
- Allow specifying the supply voltage of sensor which heavily influences the
temperature result (and use that information to calculate the correct
temperature)
- Reset sensor on initialization to bring it in a well known state
- Support for the obscure heater feature. (Can be useful to check the
temperature sensor?)
- Updated old SHT11 shell commands to the new driver interface, thus allowing
more than one SHT10/11/15 sensor to be used
- Added new shell command to allow full configuration of all attached SHT1x
sensors
- Removed old command for setting the SHT11 temperature offset, as this feature
is implemented in the new configuration command
The sensor family SHT10, SHT11 and SHT15 only differ in their accuracy (as in
calibration, not as in resolution). Thus, the same driver can be used for all.
The new driver name better reflects this fact.
- added default parameters file
- let init() function use param struct
- named return values
- simplified init function
- sensor now active after init was called
- simplified return values
