Things not done yet
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- document directory hierarchy
|
||||
|
||||
- make sure all files have a copyright header or are listed in AUTHORS
|
||||
|
||||
- connect all the bits and pieces of the build system
|
||||
|
||||
- combine io-parts.h generation
|
||||
|
||||
- combine "standard" EP0 commands, such as *_ID and *_BUILD
|
||||
|
||||
- implement return to DFU in application's EP0 protocol
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Bugs to fix
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
- builds fail if .version isn't there yet
|

|

atrf
|
||||
====
|
||||
|
||||
AT86RF230-based IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver. Two variantes: one to make a USB
|
||||
dongle for use with any Linux host, and one that connects with SPI directly
|
||||
inside a Ben.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Things not done yet
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- define values for crystal load capacitors. Measurements with instruments not
|
||||
quite precise enough (+/- 100 ppm) for the task (+/- 40 ppm, preferably
|
||||
< +/- 10 ppm) suggest that we're about 300 ppm off with no capacitors at all
|
||||
and can only correct about 150 ppm with the internal trim capacitors.
|
||||
|
||||
- examine spectrum around carrier frequency and first harmonic to look for
|
||||
obvious distortions. Vary transmit power.
|
||||
|
||||
- measure throughput as a function of placement/distance, carrier frequency,
|
||||
and transmit power
|
||||
|
||||
- atspi-txrx: suppport "extended mode" with IEEE 802.15.4 CSMA-CA for more
|
||||
realistic throughput figures
|
||||
|
||||
- measure full spectrum (ideally up to 25 GHz, but just 2nd and 3rd harmonic
|
||||
will already tell most of the story) with calibrated antenna for FCC/ETSI
|
||||
compliance assessment. Vary transmit power.
|
||||
|
||||
- use IEEE 802.15.4 stack from linux-zigbee
|
||||
|
||||
- verify that the Ben can output an a) 16 MHz clock, and b) with +/- 40 ppm
|
||||
|
||||
- replace discrete balun and filter with integrated solution, to reduce BOM
|
||||
size, maybe cost, insertion loss, and PCB space
|
||||
|
||||
- check if we really need three DC blocking caps in the RF path
|
||||
|
||||
- change layout of transceiver side of the board for placement inside Ben
|
||||
|
||||
- define EMI filters for placement inside Ben
|
||||
|
||||
- check USB standard for recommended USB dongle dimensions
|
||||
|
||||
- change layout for straight USB dongle
|
||||
|
||||
- generate proper BOM
|
||||
|
||||
- implement sleep mode
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Bugs to fix
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
- two of my systems (tv and u1010) flat out refuse to talk to the board's USB
|
||||
application, but have no problem talking to its DFU boot loader. Very
|
||||
strange.
|
||||
|
||||
- atrf vs. atspi naming is a bit confusing
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
ccrf
|
||||
====
|
||||
|
||||
Board similar to the atrf, but with the TI/Chipcon CC2520.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
cntr
|
||||
====
|
||||
|
||||
Simple USB-based counter to measure a clock's long-time accuracy with
|
||||
arbitrarily high precision, by comparing it to an NTP time reference.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Things not done yet
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- measure duty cycle
|
||||
|
||||
- display activity on clock input and duty cycle
|
||||
|
||||
- consider using a comparator and a DAC to allow for programmable logic levels
|
||||
|
||||
- evaluate termination resistance
|
||||
|
||||
- document circuit design
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Bugs to fix
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
- the firmware flashes okay and there are no outward signs of problems, yet the
|
||||
board doesn't do anything so far, not even blink the LED. Kinda embarrassing.
