libat86rf212

A Dependency Injection based SPI Driver library for the at86rf212 Digital Radio IC from Atmel, designed as an alternative to ARMmbed/atmel-rf-driver for non-mbed users. This is a work in progress, see Status for more information.

Usage

Check out at86rf212.h for the C language interface, or at86rf212.hpp for the C++ language interface.

A C++ adaptor is provided in at86rf212_if.hpp to adapt between c++ driver objects and the underlying c implementation.

For C use you will need to implement an SPI driver function with the prototype int8_t spi_transfer(void* context, uint8_t len, uint8_t *data_out, uint8_t* data_in); as well as a set of gpio read and write functions.

For C++ use you can use the above function, or create an object extending AT86RF212::SpiDriverInterface that implements the method int spi_transfer(uint8_t len, uint8_t *data_out, uint8_t* data_in) as well as a set of gpio read and write functions.

The above functions should return >= 0 for success, < 0 for failure. For an example (using USB-Thing check out the util and bindings.

Status

Early WIP. Initialisation, basic send and receive functionality working, still far from feature complete.

• Register operations
• Initialisation
• Polling
• Simple Send
• Simple Receive
• Packet building & parsing
• Auto ACK
• Auto Retransmit
• Interrupt Mode
• DMA support

Usage

Atmel XPlained PRO Zigbit + ATRF212B-0-U pinout:

2.  GND
5.  nRST
9.  IRQ
10. SLP/TR
15. CS
16. MOSI
17. MISO
18. CLK
19. GND
20. VCC
