Werner Almesberger 2961482cac tools: atrf-id option -s to retrieve driver spec, with necessary infrastructure
- include/atrf.h (atrf_driver_spec), lib/atrf.c (atrf_driver_spec):
  new function to retrieve the local or remote/final driver spec
- lib/atrf.c (struct atrf_dsc, atrf_open, atrf_close): record the local
  driver spec
- lib/driver.h (struct atrf_driver): new driver function "driver_spec"
  to retrieve the driver spec
- lib/atnet.c (struct atnet_dsc, atnet_open, atnet_close): maintain a
  cache for the driver spec
- lib/atnet.c (atnet_driver_spec, atnet_driver): added support for the
  "driver_spec" function
- atrf-proxy/PROTOCOL, atrf-proxy/atrf-proxy.c (cmd_zero): added command
  SPEC to retrieve the (final) driver spec
- atrf-id/atrf-id.c (usage, main): added option -s to retrieve the
  driver spec. One -s retrieves the local spec, -s -s the remote/final.

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.
