Jennisense is alive or is a dead port? #4

Closed aicastell closed 10 years ago

Hello.

Last Jennisense commit on the respos was a year ago. It seems Contiki is being actively developed, and there is a release 3.0 on the master branch. Is some of you planning to merge Jennisense with a more recent Contiki release? Or is Jennisense is a dead port?

Actually I'm working with Jennic JN5148 uC, but If Jennisense is dead, maybe I move to a different hardware platform, with full Contiki support. Does some of you can advise a good hardware platform to implement a mesh routing network, with some sensors on it, IPv4 based, fully supported by Contiki?

Thank you in advance!!

I'd say jennisense is in hibernation. Updates will be done as soon as somebody likes to, you're gladly invited to do so. There are no planned merging stages, but since the port just uses (instead of changing) most of contiki's resources it should be fairly simple to rebase it to the latest contiki.

The combination of IPv4 and RIME mesh routing is AFAIK not very well supported in Contiki (independent of platform). Most people stick to the newer more interoperable and actively developed IPv6+ROLL solution, which is supported by most platforms. The jennic port does support IPv6, IPv4 can be done but nobody ever tried (should not be too hard though). So you can either decide to go for IPv6+ROLL, which is what most people use nowadays or try and experiment with IPv4+RIME.

Asking for a different platform should rather be done on contiki-dev.
