The driver uses the netdev interface. Due to the limited
capabilities of the transceiver (32 byte FIFO and no source address in the layer2 frame),
it relies on 6LowPAN compression and adds the source address to the frame for that.
This is the radio found in NXP Kinetis KW41Z, KW21Z. Only 802.15.4 mode
is implemented (KW41Z also supports BLE on the same transceiver).
The driver uses vendor supplied initialization code for the low level
XCVR hardware, these files were imported from KSDK 2.2.0 (framework_5.3.5)
This adds a driver for the SPI based AT86RF215 transceiver.
The chip supports the IEEE Std 802.15.4-2015 and IEEE Std 802.15.4g-2012 standard.
This driver supports two versions of the chip:
- AT86RF215: dual sub-GHz & 2.4 GHz radio & baseband
- AT86RF215M: sub-GHz radio & baseband only
Both radios support the following PHY modes:
- MR-FSK
- MR-OFDM
- MR-O-QPKS
- O-QPSK (legacy)
The driver currently only implements support for legacy O-QPSK.
To use both interfaces, add
GNRC_NETIF_NUMOF := 2
to your Makefile.
The transceiver is able to send frames of up to 2047 bytes according to
IEEE 802.15.4g-2012 when operating in non-legacy mode.
Known issues:
- [ ] dBm setting values are bogus
- [ ] Channel spacing for sub-GHz MR-O-QPSK might be wrong
- [ ] TX/RX stress test will lock up the driver on openmote-b
