Hi All,
I did tis driver a long time ago, when the Linux 802.15.4 support in general was at its beginning and pretty broken as well.
From time to time I update this driver - and actually it's pretty mature - and should apply to mainline without problems.
There is currently only one minor thing that I wanted to investigate (some ifdef in the ISR) before submitting the driver mainline.
This is great to hear! Looking forward to it. :)
Are you using the ADF7242 in a design already?
No. The reason I wrote this is that I have an interest in the linux-wpan
subsystem in general and thought the driver would be a good candidate
for mainline.
I actually searched for some simple ADF7242which I could hook up to SPI
+ IRQ and maybe some more control lines. So far I only found the
official evaluation board which is to expensive for some hobbyist testing.
Well there is the EVAL-ADF7242-PMOD [1] which uses a PMOD [2] interface
basically a cheap 100mil spaced header, with SPI, IRQ and supply.
If you are really interested testing the driver I can provide you one FOC.
Do you have feedback already?
The driver interface for ieee802154 has advanced since the it got merged
initially. Some of the new things you might want to look into and add
support are:
o Async transmit (xmit_async)
o LBT support (set_lbt)
o Set CC mode and ed level (set_cc_mode, set_cca_ed_level)
o Support for monitor mode (set_promiscuous_mode)
These I found missing when having a brief look over the driver.
Thanks for the summary!
regards
