Werner Almesberger 0d537612c3 Allow markup to be synchronized with other (better resolution) pair of
images.

- scripts/ppmdiff/ppmdiff.c (usage, main): ppmdiff now accepts the name
  of an output file as the last argument
- scripts/ppmdiff/ppmdiff.c (shadow_diff, usage, main): a second set of
  images can be specified that will only be scanned for changes, without
  otherwise becoming part of the merged image
- scripts/schhist2web (pngdiff): specify output name as last argument of
  ppmdiff
- scripts/schhist2web: use shadow images to mark changes only visible
  in regular version also in thumbnails

IEEE 802.15.4 Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)
============================================================


IEEE 802.15.4 defines physical layers and a media access control for
wireless networks. 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.

This work is licensed under the terms detailed in the file COPYING.


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.
