Cold fire 52235 and 802.15.4 MAC application

kj — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 21:38:14 GMT

Hello forum members,

Does any one knows where can I get 802.15.4 MAC libraries for m2235 and mywireless App example.

I am working with MFC52235EVB but on net I can only get MAC for 5282 802.15.4_CF5282_MAC.zip.

Can I use these MAC libs on with uCLinux on 52235?

Hi KJ,

The MCF52235 doesn't have enough resources to run uCLinux, so you need to consider other options.

I checked the Freescale website and only found the 5282 MAC, as you mentioned. I would recommend using the SMAC, if possible, because you get the source code, which puts you in a strong position for debugging and enhancing the driver. You might also try using the MC1320x 802.15.4 transceivers for your project.

Thanks,

Rick

Hello RicKN,
Thanks,Let say I dont want to use uCLinux.
I can live with code warrior for coldfire but it must run 802.15.4 stack.
I am working on a project where I already have 802.15.4 based coordinator running on HCS08 GT60 and MC13192.
I was in process to replace GT60 with MCF5335 and I want to run the 802.15.4 stack on top of it and I have very less time to do that, its less than 2 working days.
Freescale websites mentions that 802.15.4 MAC libraries are availble for all coldfire processor. On internet then why its only for 5283 5213.

I can try SMAC but finally i need 802.15.4 stack over it, even I manage to run SMAC I will be in same position. I seek some break through solution.

Hi,

I would try the MAC provided for the 5213 as it is very similar to the 5223x MCUs.

Thanks,

Rick

Rick, Isn't that code the old stuff that was acquired by TI and no longer supported? Does anyone know when there will be a supported 802.15.4/ZigBee stack for the ColdFire? 2 years ago at FTF it was supposedly next on the list but has been push out multiple times.

I managed to run 8021.5.4 MAC on MCF52235.

I have been trying to get the MC1320x Rf daughter card to work on the M52233Demo boards. but the code i received from freescale wont work. All controll lines were confgured incorrecty (I figure for a different board) I have been able to get past most of that. and I can read and write to the MC13202 via SPI, but cant get past that. does anyone have a project that works?
