[Tinyos-devel] Implementing 6LoWPAN on IRIS (RF 230)

[Lars Schor]

Dear HJ, 

As Miklos already mentioned, we are working on a version of the blip
(b6lowpan) for the RF2xx radio controller. We have already ported several
components to the RF2xx but are not yet finished. 
I expect that I can provide you our version in the next few weeks that you
can use this version in your bachelor project. 

Best, 
Lars

It would be trivial to port the PacketLink layer, see the other layers
how this is done, or I can do it for you.

I do not understand what do you mean by not using the AM-byte. Do you
still want to provide the ActiveMessageC layer (i.e. dually support
6LowPAN and ActiveMessageC)?

I know some people at ETHZ are working on getting IPv6 working for the
RF230/RF212, I do not know if these two efforts are related or could
be combined.

Miklos
