32AT86RF230-based IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver. Two variants: one to make a USB
3333dongle for use with any Linux host, and one that connects with SPI directly
3434inside a Ben.
3535
36Update: following Rikard Lindstrom's revelation that we can use the uSD slot
37also just as general GPIOs, the variant that goes inside the Ben can wait a
38bit and the atusd board for insertion into the uSD slot is being worked on
39first. We can verify most of the design of a fully integrated board with the
40atusd board and the latter will be of greater immediate use.

43Things done
44-----------
45
46- verify that the Ben can output an a) 16 MHz clock, and b) with +/- 40 ppm
47
48  Done, see ecn/ecn0005.txt. Works fine.
49
50- replace discrete balun and filter with integrated solution, to reduce BOM
51  size, maybe cost, insertion loss, and PCB space (see ATRF/ECN0003)
52
53  Done for atusd. At a first glamce, does not seem to affect performance.
54
55- check if we really need three DC blocking caps in the RF path
56
57  Reduced to two in atusd without apparent ill effects.

3861-------------------
...... 
5073  will already tell most of the story) with calibrated antenna for FCC/ETSI
5174  compliance assessment. Vary transmit power.
5275
53- use IEEE 802.15.4 stack from linux-zigbee
54
55- verify that the Ben can output an a) 16 MHz clock, and b) with +/- 40 ppm
56
57- replace discrete balun and filter with integrated solution, to reduce BOM
58  size, maybe cost, insertion loss, and PCB space (see ATRF/ECN0003)
59
60- check if we really need three DC blocking caps in the RF path
76- use IEEE 802.15.4 stack from linux-zigbee. The linux-zigbee kernel is
77  currently at 2.6.35. Once 2.6.36 is released, we should have Ben and
78  IEEE 802.15.4 support in the same kernel without further ado.
6179
6280- change layout of transceiver side of the board for placement inside Ben
6381
...... 
7189
7290- implement sleep mode
7391
92- (atusd) verify SPI signal timing, particularly the data clock
93

7595Bugs to fix
7696-----------
7797
78- atrf vs. atspi naming is a bit confusing
98- atrf vs. atspi naming is a bit confusing. Rename atrf hardware to atusb,
99  and maybe the tools from atspi to atrf ?

...... 
83104
84105Board similar to the atrf, but with the TI/Chipcon CC2520.
85106
107Cancelled. The CC2520 falls under US export restrictions, apparently because
108it contains an AES engine.
