Switch to Zephyr TI radio driver #10

Open jadonk opened 4 years ago

jadonk commented 4 years ago

The current Zephyr 802.15.4 driver for the CC1352R is a custom developed driver. Changing this driver to instead use the already existing TI radio drivers will provide a more consistent interface and ease the addition of Sub GHz communication. To support the Host Gateway, the 802.15.4 driver for the CC1352R also needs to have CONFIG_IEEE802154_RAW_MODE support added, to allow direct access to the radio API (instead of using the Zephyr network layer).

Cool. Looks like the PR is still open though. Hope it gets merged soon.

Yeah - everyone in the Zephyr community is kind of in crunch time right now because they're on 2.4.0-rc2 and 2.4.0 is set to be released imminently. I would assume that most / all of our changes will make it in for 2.5.0.

Although with the email from Tel Aviv last night / today, I'm going to give the TX optimization a shot again since the PR is still open.

CONFIG_IEEE802154_RAW_MODE looks pretty trivial, but it would definitely go into a separate issue / PR.
