C26xx BLE stack #1298

Open spoerk opened 8 years ago

spoerk commented 8 years ago

I am currently starting to write my master thesis about BLE and IoT and use the TI SensorTag as the platform to do so. The result of my thesis should be IPv6 over BLE.

After looking at the current source code of the C26xx drivers, I see that contiki does not have a BLE stack. Is there any development in regards for a BLE stack on contiki, that is not yet included in the master branch?

Not that I'm aware of but @EarthLord wrote this https://github.com/EarthLord/contiki

This is a port to Contiki to the Nordic Semiconductor nrf51822 (uses Nordic's proprietary BLE stack)

@spoerk If you decide to implement your own cc26xx BLE stack I would volunteer to contribute as well!

craigm26 commented 8 years ago

this would be amazing

I found a TI BLE stack for the cc26xx and RTOS. This stack implements all BLE functionality according to the BLE 4.1 specification.

I would look into porting this BLE stack to contiki. The problem is, that the license of this stack is restrictive. I think the license is too restrictive for including it into contiki.

Has anyone any experience with talking to TI about their source code licenses?

I would port the stack to contiki, if the license was no problem.

I have no experience with them directly yet, but I would be a huge fan if we could do this. It's a very important development step for us (beaconsafety.co)

spoerk commented 7 years ago

@craigm26 I issued a pull request of a first version of a BLE stack. https://github.com/contiki-os/contiki/pull/1936

Maybe this will help you.
