Hi, As a part of research activities the Embedded Systems - Open Platform Group from Siemens Corporate Technology we are working on adding support for the IEEE 802.15.4 Wireless Personal Area Networks to the Linux. Our current implementation is neither certified nor even feature complete. However we'd like to present current state of our patchset to the Linux developers community to gain comments, fixes, ideas, etc. This is not yet a pull request, but more like an RFC. The project page is available at http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/linux-zigbee with source code of kernel part available from git at http://zigbee-linux.git.sourceforge.net, mirrored for convenience at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lumag/lowpan.git The source code for userspace utils is available from git at http://linux-zigbee.git.sourceforge.net/ Changes since previous RFC: * Split the code into socket family, netlink interface and separate MAC 802.15.4 implementation. * Add a sample driver for devices implementing mac level of IEEE 802.15.4 on their own. * Major cleanup of public interfaces. * Drop our CRC implementation and use a variant of CRC-ITU-T one * Add preliminary version of AT86RF231 Atmel chip driver The following changes since commit 59a3759d0fe8d969888c741bb33f4946e4d3750d: Linus Torvalds (1): Linux 2.6.30-rc7 are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lumag/lowpan.git for-review-v1 Darren Salt (1): crc-itu-t: add bit-reversed calculation Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov (9): Add constants for the ieee 802.15.4/ZigBee stack net: add IEEE 802.15.4 socket family implementation net: add NL802154 interface for configuration of 802.15.4 devices ieee802154: add simple HardMAC driver sample mac802154: add a software MAC 802.15.4 implementation ieee802154: add virtual loopback driver tty_io: export tty_class ieee802154: add serial dongle driver ieee802154: add at86rf230/rf231 spi driver drivers/Makefile | 1 + drivers/char/tty_io.c | 1 + drivers/ieee802154/Kconfig | 42 ++ drivers/ieee802154/Makefile | 6 + drivers/ieee802154/at86rf230.c | 971 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/ieee802154/fakehard.c | 253 ++++++++ drivers/ieee802154/fakelb.c | 335 +++++++++++ drivers/ieee802154/serial.c | 999 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/net/Kconfig | 2 + include/linux/crc-itu-t.h | 10 + include/linux/if.h | 2 + include/linux/if_arp.h | 2 + include/linux/if_ether.h | 2 + include/linux/socket.h | 6 +- include/linux/spi/at86rf230.h | 32 + include/linux/tty.h | 3 +- include/net/ieee802154/af_ieee802154.h | 60 ++ include/net/ieee802154/mac802154.h | 79 +++ include/net/ieee802154/mac_def.h | 158 +++++ include/net/ieee802154/netdevice.h | 84 +++ include/net/ieee802154/nl802154.h | 165 ++++++ lib/crc-itu-t.c | 18 + net/Kconfig | 2 + net/Makefile | 2 + net/core/dev.c | 6 +- net/core/sock.c | 3 + net/ieee802154/Kconfig | 12 + net/ieee802154/Makefile | 5 + net/ieee802154/af802154.h | 35 ++ net/ieee802154/af_ieee802154.c | 356 ++++++++++++ net/ieee802154/dgram.c | 373 ++++++++++++ net/ieee802154/netlink.c | 485 ++++++++++++++++ net/ieee802154/raw.c | 250 ++++++++ net/mac802154/Kconfig | 13 + net/mac802154/Makefile | 5 + net/mac802154/beacon.c | 242 ++++++++ net/mac802154/beacon.h | 48 ++ net/mac802154/beacon_hash.c | 103 ++++ net/mac802154/beacon_hash.h | 40 ++ net/mac802154/dev.c | 843 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ net/mac802154/mac802154.h | 64 ++ net/mac802154/mac_cmd.c | 325 +++++++++++ net/mac802154/main.c | 96 +++ net/mac802154/mdev.c | 283 +++++++++ net/mac802154/mib.h | 32 + net/mac802154/pib.c | 87 +++ net/mac802154/pib.h | 35 ++ net/mac802154/scan.c | 215 +++++++ 48 files changed, 7187 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/ieee802154/Kconfig create mode 100644 drivers/ieee802154/Makefile create mode 100644 drivers/ieee802154/at86rf230.c create mode 100644 drivers/ieee802154/fakehard.c create mode 100644 drivers/ieee802154/fakelb.c create mode 100644 drivers/ieee802154/serial.c create mode 100644 include/linux/spi/at86rf230.h create mode 100644 include/net/ieee802154/af_ieee802154.h create mode 100644 include/net/ieee802154/mac802154.h create mode 100644 include/net/ieee802154/mac_def.h create mode 100644 include/net/ieee802154/netdevice.h create mode 100644 include/net/ieee802154/nl802154.h create mode 100644 net/ieee802154/Kconfig create mode 100644 net/ieee802154/Makefile create mode 100644 net/ieee802154/af802154.h create mode 100644 net/ieee802154/af_ieee802154.c create mode 100644 net/ieee802154/dgram.c create mode 100644 net/ieee802154/netlink.c create mode 100644 net/ieee802154/raw.c create mode 100644 net/mac802154/Kconfig create mode 100644 net/mac802154/Makefile create mode 100644 net/mac802154/beacon.c create mode 100644 net/mac802154/beacon.h create mode 100644 net/mac802154/beacon_hash.c create mode 100644 net/mac802154/beacon_hash.h create mode 100644 net/mac802154/dev.c create mode 100644 net/mac802154/mac802154.h create mode 100644 net/mac802154/mac_cmd.c create mode 100644 net/mac802154/main.c create mode 100644 net/mac802154/mdev.c create mode 100644 net/mac802154/mib.h create mode 100644 net/mac802154/pib.c create mode 100644 net/mac802154/pib.h create mode 100644 net/mac802154/scan.c -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
