Werner Almesberger f20d685f8e Merged uSD driver into unified tool build, completed conversion of tools.
- atusd/tools/lib/atusd.c: moved to tools/lib/
- atusd/tools/lib/atusd.h: removed, we can now use tools/include/atspi.h
- tools/lib/atusd.c: added copyright header
- tools/lib/atusd.c: updated for driver API
- tools/lib/Makefile: added atusd.o
- tools/Makefile.common: moved common elements from all other makefiles in
  tools/*/ here
- tools/Makefile.common: added target-specific compiler and flags
- tools/atspi-id/Makefile, tools/atspi-reset/Makefile,
  tools/atspi-rssi/Makefile, tools/atspi-trim/Makefile,
  tools/atspi-txrx/Makefile, tools/lib/Makefile: used Makefile.common
- tools/lib/Makefile: differentiate USB and uSD build
- tools/atspi-id/atspi-id.c, tools/atspi-reset/atspi-reset.c,
  tools/atspi-rssi/atspi-rssi.c, tools/atspi-trim/atspi-trim.c,
  tools/atspi-txr/atspi-txr.c: updated for driver-agnostic API
- tools/atspi-id/atspi-id.c, tools/atspi-reset/atspi-reset.c,
  tools/atspi-rssi/atspi-rssi.c, tools/atspi-trim/atspi-trim.c,
  tools/atspi-txr/atspi-txr.c: corrected AF86RF230 typo in title
- tools/include/atspi.h, tools/lib/atspi.c, tools/lib/driver.c,
  tools/lib/atusb.c: brought back support for atspi_error and
  atspi_clear_error
- tools/atspi-id/atspi-id.c (atspi_get_protocol): renamed to get_protocol,
  to make it clear that it's not from libatspi
- tools/atspi-id/atspi-id.c (atspi_get_build): renamed to get_build, to
  make it clear that it's not from libatspi
- tools/include/atspi.h, tools/lib/atspi.c (atspi_usb_handle): new function
  to obtain a driver's USB device handle (or NULL if the driver doesn't use
  USB)

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.
