Previously, I have designed a small circuit board with a cc2520 rf-tranceiver and a stm32f4 microcontroller (see this post). After porting the driver for the cc2520 to ChibiOS for a few tests, I decided to port Contiki to support this platform as well. As this is the first time that I work with Contiki, uipv6 and 6LoWPAN, this was quite a challenge for me. Nevertheless, I managed to make the following features work:
- The cc2520 radio
- The RPL border router using the USB connector
- RIME
- IPv6
- LEDs
- printf for debugging
- Many applications, such as the webserver, telnet, udp
- I made a driver for ws2811 LEDs that uses DMA and a timer
In this post, I will describe what the essential steps were to port Contiki to this board and how to use my port. I have uploaded the Contiki port together with a few example applications to github. You can download it here.
