Nordic nRF52 IEEE 802.15.4

Note

This driver is highly experimental. Help with development and testing will be appreciated 😉

Supported features:

• frame transmission
• frame reception and filtering
• immediate ACK (incoming and outgoing)
• promiscuous mode
• delayed transmission
• radio events trace
• setting pending bit for all incoming Data Request frames
• un-slotted CSMA-CA

Work in progress features (some logic is present, but they require more work):

• beacon transmission (periodic transmission works, but requires verification)
• slotted CSMA-CA
• GTS

Fetures not implemented:

• enhanced ACK (Enh-ACK)
• enhanced beacon
• low power mode
• advanced features from IEEE 802.15.4e (DSME, TSCH)

Reserved peripherals

This implementation reserves the following peripherals:

• RADIO - used for radio operations
• TIMER0 - used as high resolution timer for ACK, IFS and other radio delays
• RTC0 - if superframe support is enabled, used as low power timer to hande superframe events
