This implements a client for DHCPv6 IA_PD (Identity Association for
Prefix Delegation). Goal was to have a IETF-compliant alternative to
UHCP. The implementation was based on RFC 8415.
f5cbe00118 disables `stdio_rtt` when `stdio_uart` is used. However,
if a board has `periph_usbdev` in `FEATURES_PROVIDED` and
`stdio_cdc_acm` is used by the application, linking fails, as now both
`stdio_rtt` and `stdio_cdc_acm` implement the STDIO functions.
This fix excludes `stdio_rtt` if any STDIO but `stdio_rtt` is provided.
If no STDIO is provided the fall-back is used as before.
This commit allows to add a Makefile.dep file in an application directory to finely tune application dependencies, based on a board.
Using this mechanism, if an application has dependencies pulled-in based on a board, info-boards-supported, will take this into account to determine the boards supported by an application
The name `fragment_msg` or `frag_msg`/`msg_frag` always to me was a bit
misplaced, as it basically implements an asynchronous fragmentation
buffer and doesn't necessarily have anything to do with messages.
This change
1. changes the name to `fb` (for fragmentation buffer)
2. factors its code out to its own sub-module so it can be re-used by
other 6LoWPAN fragmentation schemes like [Selective Fragment
Recovery]

CPU must now be defined by `$(RIOTBOARD)/$(BOARD)/Makefile.features` or
one of its common included Makefile.features file.
The cpu `Makefile.dep` file can now automatically be included when it exists.
The VRB uses xtimer for its garbage collection but doesn't list it as a
dependency. The only reason it worked so far is because it was always
compiled with `gnrc_sixlowpan_frag` and other modules that pull in
`xtimer` as a dependency on their own.
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).
