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

[Bryce L. <br...@vp...>]

Sorry, let me clarify. By HAL I meant that the collection of hardware
drivers exist for the CC2530 RF05 Eval Board. 

See the following directories:
../contiki-2.x/platform/cc2530eb/dev/
../contiki-2.x/cpu/cc2530/dev/

You will see drivers for LEDs, the LCD, the clock, UART, DMA, ADM, and
the RF radio. You will see duplicates in both these directories, but
only one gets used (depending on the driver). I would like to clean that
up for future builds.

It may be easiest to simply download IAR 8051 Workbench Eval version and
build and load the project onto your eval board. Then you can step
through the code as the LEDs are being turned on and the LCD is being
driven with the text.

Note: These drivers are not TI's drivers (since TI owns their code they
can't be contributed to an open source project like Contiki). They are
the drivers that were created by our wonderful community. :)

Good luck and let me know.

Bryce

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
