ZigBee and 6loWPAN are based on IEEE 802.15.4. + +This project aims to add experimental WPAN functionality to the Ben +NanoNote, in order to permit evaluation of overall network performance +and to examine possible integration into future devices. + + +Hardware architecture +--------------------- + +IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver chips are available from several manufacturers, +including Atmel, Freescale, and Texas Instruments. These chips are similar +in size, functionality, and cost. The first prototype is based on the +Atmel AT86RF230. + +The RF module will be physically placed on the left side of the LCD +module, replacing part of the display's PCB. + +When installed in the Ben, the transceiver will connect directly via SPI +to the Jz4720. For development, a SiLabs C8051F326 microcontroller +implements a USB to SPI conversion. diff --git a/ds/INFO b/ds/INFO new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c54727c --- /dev/null +++ b/ds/INFO @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +N: at86rf230 +A: transceiver +A: txrx +D: http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc5131.pdf + +N: c8051f326 +A: mcu +D: http://www.silabs.com/Support Documents/TechnicalDocs/C8051F326.pdf + +# AN043 -- Small Size 2.4 GHz PCB Antenna (Rev.
