Hi there,
I am trying to add an at86fr212b transceiver on my Rapsberry Pi using OpenWrt as os and I would like to know if it is possible to use a linux drivers : https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/ … t86rf230.c without rewriting most of it ?
Thanks for your help !
Yes - one can create a kernel package. - see http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/devel/packages section "Creating packages for kernel modules"
add to kernel/linux/modules/other.mk

$(eval $(call KernelPackage,wpan-at86rf230))you should get entries in the menuconfig that should build the original module
I dont know if this is working or if there is an error in the above code when compiled (check against the kernel kconfig/makefiles) - atm I dont have time to test this and I dont have 802154 devices anyway
If you have a working/correct version post it again if you made changes or give feedback and I (or you) can get this into OpenWrt

Ok thank you for your answer zloop ! When I'll have a working version I'll post it !
newer version - this diff that tries to add 802.15.4 stuff / kernel modules

zloop, why did you add kmod-bluetooth and kmod-bluetooth_6lowpan for the at86rf212b transceiver ? Is there a need for this module if I want to use 6Lowpan protocol with the at86rf212b ?
This is a patch file (wikipedia)- it adds code lines (begins with"+") and removes code lines ("-")
currently "6lowpan.ko" is only part of bluetooth module - according to Kernel documentation
6lowpan is used in Bluetooth AND 802.15.4 . So editing the kmod-bluetooth_6lowpan parts
make separation cleaner and is necessary.
I think I added all modules other 802.15.4 stuff that I could find to have 6Lowpan protocol with your device (or the other devices).
Please report if something is not working:
- missing dependencies
- missing Kernel modules / settings
- missing test tool/package
PS: you simply do "git apply <patch>" in your openwrt buildroot
(Last edited by zloop on 7 Apr 2015, 17:56)
Yes, actually I successfully applied this patch and compile openwrt with those new packages. But my question now is how to send messages using my transceiver. I guess, I have to configure my at86rf230 drivers to use spidev1.0 but when I try to create a .c file witch configure my driver interfaces, I can't access to my driver function because it's not declared in my project. Can you help me, because I think I am on the wrong way to make it works. Thanks !
You probably should look at https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentatio … 802154.txt
becaus
then there are some userspace tools available:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-zigbee/
You probably should check other sources like Wireless Sensor Network books/projects running zigbee or 6lowpan , other 802.15.4 projects with that chipset, embedded/zigbee/6lowpan forums/blog entries or look at linux-zigbee-devel mailing ...
Thanks for your help zloop. I just updated OpenWrt today and I noticed that there is a wpan file now which add all the module you included in your patch. But actually I tried to use the new wpan.mk file but I can't figure out why I can't find the new module included in the wpan file in the menuconfig list. Do you have any idea where the problem come from ? Is this problem just happened to me ?
I finally figured out that WPAN_MENU and WIRELESS_MENU are set to Wireless Drivers and maybe there is a conflict. There is also some packages which DEPENDS to LINUX@4.0 which is maybe no the kernel version on github for openwrt. So I removed LINUX@4.0 dependency but I'm not sure it's the right thing to do.
