Hi, this patch series based on: "[RFCv5 bluetooth-next 0/4] ieee802154: aret handling changes" and can be used for testing the ARET/NO ARET mode with ARET_ON state only. I add support for debugfs to check the trac status statistics. In the previously patch series I said that the at86rf2xx transceivers checks automatically if ack request is set or not in a 802.15.4 frame. There exists two cases: 1. When the ackrequest bit is set and using STATE_ARET_ON the transceiver will wait for an ack frame after transmit. If ack is received then the transceiver logic is "SUCCESS" otherwise "NO_ACK". 2. When the ackrequest bit isn't set and using the STATE_ARET_ON the transceiver will not wait for an ack frame and the transceiver logic is "SUCCESS". The transceiver logic is in this case the error code from transmit algorithmn. To the test (802.15.4 6LoWPAN): 1. Create some imagine 6LoWPAN node by using: ip -6 neigh add fe80::abcd lladdr 02:01:02:03:04:05:06:07 dev lowpan0 This will create some neighbor discovery entry for some node which isn't there in your network. We wan't just test some 802.15.4 unicast addressing. This unicast addressing will not answer with an ACK frame, because there is no node with this address. 2. Set ackrequest bit to 0 by using: iwpan dev wpan0 set ackreq_default 0 3. Ping node: ping6 fe80::abcd%lowpan0 4. Check trac status stats. You will see that only "SUCCESS" will be increased, which is the behaviour on no aret functionality. 5. Do it again but with ackrequest bit to 1 by using: iwpan dev wpan0 set ackreq_default 1 6. Ping node again. ping6 fe80::abcd%lowpan0 7. Check the trac status again. Now, "SUCCESS" isn't increased (it could be for broadcast frames only). But now you will see that "NO ACK" is increased which is the trac status that no ack frames was received when using aret functionality. Some additional notes: I think the registration of debugfs failed when two at86rf230 will be probed, because the debugfs "at86rf230" already exists. Is there some way to add a number to it like the name "at86rf230%d"? Or we just leave it as it is, it's just a debugging feature and should be disabled then when using two at86rf230 transceivers. - Alex Alexander Aring (2): at86rf230: change trac status check behaviour at86rf230: add debugfs support drivers/net/ieee802154/Kconfig | 7 ++ drivers/net/ieee802154/at86rf230.c | 191 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- drivers/net/ieee802154/at86rf230.h | 8 ++ 3 files changed, 169 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-) -- 2.5.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wpan" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
