Overview ¶

IEEE 802.15.4 is a technical standard which defines the operation of low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPANs). For more detailed overview of this standard, see this IEEE 802.15.4 Wikipedia article. Also, see IEEE GET Program for creating an IEEE account and downloading the specification.

Zephyr supports IEEE 802.15.4 with Thread and 6LoWPAN. The Thread implementation is based on OpenThread. The IPv6 header compression in 6LoWPAN is shared with the Bluetooth IPSP (IP support profile).

Functions

static inline bool ieee802154_is_ar_flag_set(struct net_buf *frag)¶

Check if AR flag is set on the frame inside given net_pkt.

Parameters

frag – A valid pointer on a net_buf structure, must not be NULL, and its length should be at least made of 1 byte (ACK frames are the smallest frames on 15.4 and made of 3 bytes, not not counting the FCS part).

Returns

True if AR flag is set, False otherwise

enum net_verdict ieee802154_radio_handle_ack(struct net_if *iface, struct net_pkt *pkt)¶

Radio driver ACK handling function that hw drivers should use.

ACK handling requires fast handling and thus such function helps to hook directly the hw drivers to the radio driver.

Parameters

iface – A valid pointer on a network interface that received the packet
pkt – A valid pointer on a packet to check

Returns

NET_OK if it was handled, NET_CONTINUE otherwise

void ieee802154_init(struct net_if *iface)¶

Initialize L2 stack for a given interface.

Parameters

iface – A valid pointer on a network interface
