CEBus Files

CEBus is an old protocol developed for power line, RF, IR, twisted pair and coax
mediums. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CEBus

This is a hobby project I use for testing/experimenting with my other
project: protocoltool.
The CEBus implementation is not complete and may never be.

Personal use only
-----------------

I hereby certify that the content of this project in Sourceforge is my own
(except where mentioned) and this is my own implementation of the CEBus protocol
from specifications that I've got from the web.

For documentation purpose, comments in the source code were extracted from the
CEBus specifications.

Commercial use discouraged
--------------------------

CEBus is an outdated protocol and may not be compliant to regulations worldwide.
In Europe, the powerline chirp conflits with CENELEC standards. There are some
patents and IP attached to it. The CEBus protocol uses intellectual properties
from Intellon (now sold to Atheros).

CEBus attempted to implement a communication standards for many medias, but with
time, other protocols took over before CEBus.

I worked before for Domosys Corporation, which developped a chip using the CEBus
protocol. This chip used a proprietary hardware PLSE with a crystal of 14.318MHz.
The CEBus chirp in this chip has 358 samples instead of 360 (standard).

After some litigation with Intellon, Domosys eventually ditched their CEBus
product line and switched to their own PowerBus protocol. Finally, Domosys sold
their IP to Analog Devices and ceased operations. There are other companies
using the name Domosys but they're not related.

Due to potential legal problems, it would be preferable to not use these files

any implementation using these files.
