Re: [Contiki-developers] [BULK] about CC2530 port

[Andrew H. <a....@20...>]

Hi Bryce,

Thanks for that.  I really appreciate it.

Just to clarify something  you say "...Much of the HAL layer was already 
completed by Bojan and the CC2430 gurus...".

I have download from github.  Did you mean to say that a port of the 
original cc2530 hal has been made and included?

I cannot see the hal folder or any of the same hal headers or prototype 
functions.  There are some similar-ish ones.  Have the names been 
changed in the port?

Or has the hal 'not' yet been imported?

Many thanks again.

Andrew
