Hi Greg,

now I added a TODO file and did a manual patchwork with lines of the old patch
(git format-patch master --stdout -p > pi433_patch) and the newer patch (git
diff master > pi433_patch). Stil don't know how to retreive multiple commits
in one single patch directly from git :-/
I did my best to meet a lot of rules of the link, you send me.If
there is stil something essential wrong or missing, please excuse and let me know.

Especially I was in doubt about the verbosity of the change log. If you'd like
to see the list of features of the driver over there (please see my first mail),
let me know and I'll add.

Sorry for posting in HTML once again on last mail. Now I changed the frontend of my
mailtool. Hope this works better. If not, excuse and let me know.
I Think about moving to gits mail function for my next patches.

Cheers,

Marcus

+For Raspbian users only
+=======================
+Since Raspbian supports device tree overlays, you may use and overlay, instead
+of editing your boards device tree.
+For using the overlay, you need to compile the file pi433-overlay.dts you can
+find aside to this documentation.
+The file needs to be compiled - either manually or by integration in your kernel
+source tree. For a manual compile, you may use a command line like the following:
+'linux/scripts/dtc/dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o pi433.dtbo pi433-overlay.dts'
+
+For compiling inside of the kernel tree, you need to copy pi433-overlay.dts to
+arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays and you need to add the file to the list of files
+in the Makefile over there. Execute 'make dtbs' in kernel tree root to make the
+kernel make files compile the device tree overlay for you.

+Introduction
+============
+This driver is for controlling pi433, a radio module for the Raspberry Pi
+(www.pi433.de). It supports transmission and reception. It can be opened
+by multiple applications for transmission and reception. While transmit
+jobs were queued and process automatically in the background, the first
+application asking for reception will block out all other applications
+until something gets received terminates the read request.
+The driver supports on the fly reloading of the hardware fifo of the rf
+chip, thus enabling for much longer telegrams then hardware fifo size.
+
+Discription of driver operation
+===============================
+
+a) transmission
+
+Each transmission can take place with a different configuration of the rf
+module. Therfore each application can set its own set of parameters. The driver
+takes care, that each transmission takes place with the parameterset of the
+application, that requests the transmission. To allow the transmission to take
+place in the background, a tx thread is introduced.
+The transfer of data from the main thread to the tx thread is realised by a
+kfifo. With each write request of an application, the passed in data and the
+corresponding parameter set gets written to the kfifo.
+On the other "side" of the kfifo, the tx thread continuously checks, whether the
+kfifo is empty. If not, it gets one set of config and data from the kfifo. If
+there is no receive request or the receiver is still waiting for something in
+the air, the rf module is set to standby, the parameters for transmission gets
+set, the hardware fifo of the rf chip gets preloaded and the transmission gets
+started. Upon hardware fifo threshold interrupt it gets reloaded, thus enabling
+much longer telegrams then hardware fifo size. If the telegram is send and there
+is more data available in the kfifo, the procedure is repeated. If not the
+transmission cycle ends.
+
+b) reception
+
+Since there is only one application allowed to receive data at a time, for
+reception there is only one configuration set.
+As soon as an application sets an request for receiving a telegram, the reception
+configuration set is written to the rf module and it gets set into receiving mode.
+Now the driver is waiting, that a predefined RSSI level (signal strength at the
+receiver) is reached. Until this hasn't happened, the reception can be
+interrupted by the transmission thread at any time to insert a transmission cycle.
+As soon as the predefined RSSI level is meat, a receiving cycle starts. Similar
+as described for the transmission cycle the read out of the hardware fifo is done
+dynamically. Upon each hardware fifo threshold interrupt, a portion of data gets
+read. So also for reception it is possible to receive more data then the hardware
+fifo can hold.
+
+
+Driver API
+==========
+
+The driver is currently implemented as a character device. Therefore it supports
+the calls open, ioctl, read, write and close.
+
+
+params for ioctl
+----------------
+
+There are four options:
+PI433_IOC_RD_TX_CFG - get the transmission parameters from the driver
+PI433_IOC_WR_TX_CFG - set the transmission parameters
+PI433_IOC_RD_RX_CFG - get the receiving parameters from the driver
+PI433_IOC_WR_RX_CFG - set the receiving parameters
+
+The tx configuration is transfered via struct pi433_tx_cfg, the parameterset for transmission.
+It is devided into two sections: rf parameters and packet format.
+
+rf params:
+	frequency
+		frequency used for transmission.
+		Allowed values: 433050000...434790000
+	bit_rate
+		bit rate used for transmission.
+		Allowed values: #####
+	dev_frequency
+		frequency deviation in case of FSK.
+		Allowed values: 600...500000
+	modulation
+		FSK - frequency shift key
+		OOK - On-Off-key
+	modShaping
+		shapingOff	- no shaping
+		shaping1_0	- gauss filter with BT 1 (FSK only)
+		shaping0_5	- gauss filter with BT 0.5 (FSK only)
+		shaping0_3	- gauss filter with BT 0.3 (FSK only)
+		shapingBR	- filter cut off at BR (OOK only)
+		shaping2BR	- filter cut off at 2*BR (OOK only)
+	paRamp (FSK only)

+		ramp50		- amp ramps up in 50us
+		ramp40		- amp ramps up in 40us
+		ramp31		- amp ramps up in 31us
+		ramp25		- amp ramps up in 25us
+		ramp20		- amp ramps up in 20us
+		ramp15		- amp ramps up in 15us
+		ramp12		- amp ramps up in 12us
+		ramp10		- amp ramps up in 10us
+	tx_start_condition
+		fifoLevel	- transmission starts, if fifo is filled to
+				  threshold level
+		fifoNotEmpty	- transmission starts, as soon as there is one
+				  byte in internal fifo
+	repetitions
+		This gives the option, to send a telegram multiple times. Default: 1
+
+packet format:
+	enable_preamble
+		optionOn	- a preamble will be automatically generated
+		optionOff	- no preamble will be generated
+	enable_sync
+		optionOn	- a sync word will be automatically added to
+				  the telegram after preamble
+		optionOff	- no sync word will be added
+		Attention: While possible to generate sync without preamble, the
+		receiver won't be able to detect the sync without preamble.
+	enable_length_byte
+		optionOn	- the length of the telegram will be automatically
+				  added to the telegram. It's part of the payload
+		optionOff	- no length information will be automatically added
+				  to the telegram.

+		Attention: should be used in combination with sync, only
+	enable_address_byte
+		optionOn	- the address byte will be automatically added to the
+				  telgram. It's part of the payload
+		optionOff	- the address byte will not be added to the telegram.
+		The address byte can be used for address filtering, so the receiver
+		will only receive telegrams with a given address byte.
+		Attention: should be used in combination with sync, only
+	enable_crc
+		optionOn	- an crc will be automatically calculated over the
+				  payload of the telegram and added to the telegram
+				  after payload.

+	sync_length
+		length of the sync word. Allowed values: 0...8
+	fixed_message_length

+		given by the buffer, passed in with the write command. Will be
+		ignored if set to zero.
+	sync_pattern[8]
+		contains up to eight values, that are used as the sync pattern
+		on sync option
+	address_byte
+		one byte, used as address byte on address byte option.
+
+
+The rx configuration is transfered via struct pi433_rx_cfg, the parameterset for receiving. It is devided into two sections: rf parameters and packet format.
+
+rf params:
+	frequency
+		frequency used for transmission.
+		Allowed values: 433050000...434790000

+		Allowed values: 600...500000
+	modulation
+		FSK - frequency shift key
+		OOK - on off key
+	rssi_threshold
+		threshold value for the signal strength on the receiver input.
+		If this value is exeeded, a reception cycle starts
+		Allowed values: 0...255
+	thresholdDecrement
+		in order to adapt to different levels of singnal strength, over
+		time the receiver gets more and more sensitive. This value
+		determs, how fast the sensitivity increases.
+		step_0_5db	- increase in 0,5dB steps
+		step_1_0db	- increase in 1 db steps
+		step_1_5db	- increase in 1,5dB steps

+		maxMinus36	- lna gain is set to 36db below max
+		maxMinus48	- lna gain is set to 48db below max
+	bw_mantisse
+		sets the bandwidth of the channel filter - part one: mantisse.

+		improve4LowModulationIndex
+
+ packet format:
+	enable_sync
+		optionOn  - sync detection is enabled. If configured sync pattern
+			    isn't found, telegram will be internally discarded
+		optionOff - sync detection is disabled.
+	enable_length_byte
+		optionOn   - First byte of payload will be used as length byte,
+			     regardless of the amount of bytes that were requested
+			     by the read request.
+		optionOff  - Number of bytes to be read will be set according to
+			     amount of bytes that were requested by the read request.

+		Attention: Sync option must be enabled in order to use this feature
+	enable_crc
+		optionOn	- a crc will be calculated over the payload of
+				  the telegram, that was received. If the
+				  calculated crc doesn't match to two bytes,
+				  that follow the payload, the telegram will be
+				  internally discarded.
+		Attention: This option is only operational, if sync on and fixed length
+		or length byte is used
+	sync_length
+		Gives the length of the payload.
+		Attention: This setting must meet the setting of the transmitter,
+		if sync option is used.
+	fixed_message_length
+		Overrides the telegram length either given by the first byte of
+		payload or by the read request.
+	bytes_to_drop
+		gives the number of bytes, that will be dropped before transfering
+		data to the read buffer
+		This option is only usefull, if all packet helper are switched
+		off and the rf chip is used in raw receiving mode. This may be
+		needed, if a telegram of a third party device should be received,
+		using a protocol not compatible with the packet engine of the rf69 chip.
+	sync_pattern[8]
+		contains up to eight values, that are used as the sync pattern
+		on sync option.
+		This setting must meet the configuration of the transmitting device,
+		if sync option is enabled.
+	node_address
+		one byte, used as node address byte on address byte option.
+	broadcast_address
+		one byte, used as broadcast address byte on address byte option.
