Linux IEEE 802.15.4 implementation | ||
|
||
|
||
Introduction | ||
============ | ||
|
||
The Linux-ZigBee project goal is to provide complete implementation | ||
of IEEE 802.15.4 / ZigBee / 6LoWPAN protocols. IEEE 802.15.4 is a stack | ||
of protocols for organizing Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks. | ||
|
||
Currently only IEEE 802.15.4 layer is implemented. We have choosen | ||
to use plain Berkeley socket API, the generic Linux networking stack | ||
to transfer IEEE 802.15.4 messages and a special protocol over genetlink | ||
for configuration/management | ||
|
||
|
||
Socket API | ||
========== | ||
|
||
int sd = socket(PF_IEEE802154, SOCK_DGRAM, 0); | ||
..... | ||
|
||
The address family, socket addresses etc. are defined in the | ||
include/net/ieee802154/af_ieee802154.h header or in the special header | ||
in our userspace package (see either linux-zigbee sourceforge download page | ||
or git tree at git://linux-zigbee.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/linux-zigbee). | ||
|
||
One can use SOCK_RAW for passing raw data towards device xmit function. YMMV. | ||
|
||
|
||
MLME - MAC Level Management | ||
============================ | ||
|
||
Most of IEEE 802.15.4 MLME interfaces are directly mapped on netlink commands. | ||
See the include/net/ieee802154/nl802154.h header. Our userspace tools package | ||
(see above) provides CLI configuration utility for radio interfaces and simple | ||
coordinator for IEEE 802.15.4 networks as an example users of MLME protocol. | ||
|
||
|
||
Kernel side | ||
============= | ||
|
||
Like with WiFi, there are several types of devices implementing IEEE 802.15.4. | ||
1) 'HardMAC'. The MAC layer is implemented in the device itself, the device | ||
exports MLME and data API. | ||
2) 'SoftMAC' or just radio. These types of devices are just radio transceivers | ||
possibly with some kinds of acceleration like automatic CRC computation and | ||
comparation, automagic ACK handling, address matching, etc. | ||
|
||
Those types of devices require different approach to be hooked into Linux kernel. | ||
|
||
|
||
HardMAC | ||
======= | ||
|
||
See the header include/net/ieee802154/netdevice.h. You have to implement Linux | ||
net_device, with .type = ARPHRD_IEEE802154. Data is exchanged with socket family | ||
code via plain sk_buffs. The control block of sk_buffs will contain additional | ||
info as described in the struct ieee802154_mac_cb. | ||
|
||
To hook the MLME interface you have to populate the ml_priv field of your | ||
net_device with a pointer to struct ieee802154_mlme_ops instance. All fields are | ||
required. | ||
|
||
We provide an example of simple HardMAC driver at drivers/ieee802154/fakehard.c | ||
|
||
|
||
SoftMAC | ||
======= | ||
|
||
We are going to provide intermediate layer impelementing IEEE 802.15.4 MAC | ||
in software. This is currently WIP. | ||
|
||
See header include/net/ieee802154/mac802154.h and several drivers in | ||
drivers/ieee802154/ |
