The ATmega128RFA1 and ATmega256RFR2 contain a version of this IP
on the MCU.
The radio core behaves mostly like a at86rf231, but all registers
are mapped to memory and radio states can directly generate interrupts
on the CPU.
The ATmega256RFR2 adds support for automatic retransmissions.
This has not been implemented yet.

Microchip offers ready-to-use modules with the mrf24j40 chip.
All but the MRF24J40MA integrate an external PA/LNA, they also come
with an RF shield.
If the PA/LNA is not enabled, the signal off these modules is really
poor.
This adds pseudomodules so that the PA/LNA is automatically enabled
when the appropriate module is used.

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).
To read float number from stdin, add "-u scanf_float"
option to the linker.
This option is setup using a pseudomodule as it is already done for
printf_float.
Just add to your Makefile:
USEMODULE += scanf_float

Add a trivial shell program that scans for all slaves on an I2C bus by iterating
all of the possible 127 I2C addresses and checking for the ACK of the device.
The build system contains several instances of
INCLUDES += -I$(RIOTBASE)/sys/posix/include
This is bypassing the module management system, by directly accesing
headers without depending on a module. The module is the posix module.
That line is also added when one of the posix_* modules is requested.
According to the docs, the posix module provides headers only, but in
reality there is also inet.c.
This patch:
- Moves `inet.c` into `posix_inet`, leaving `posix` as a headers-only
module.
- Rename `posix` as `posix_headers` to make it clear the module only
includes headers.
- Makes `posix_*` modules depend on `posix_headers`, thus removing the
explicit `INCLUDES+=...` in `sys/Makefile.include`.
- Ocurrences of `INCLUDES+=...` are replaced by an explicit dependency
on `posix_headers`.
riotboot_hdr enables to partition the internal flash memory
into "slots", each one with a header providing information
about the partition. The concept for now is limited to
firmware partitions, which are recognised by the riotboot
bootloader. In the future the concept might be extended to
represent other content.
