Using a new tranceiver type

Hello,

I am trying to use RIOT with Powerline communication and would like to use the transceiver module to abstract the physical medium from the network layers. How should I be doing this. Should I just add a new transceiver type in the transceiver.h header file?

Thanks,

Abhinav

Dear Abhinav!

Sorry for the delayed answer.

I am trying to use RIOT with Powerline communication and would like to use the transceiver module to abstract the physical medium from the network layers. How should I be doing this. Should I just add a new transceiver type in the transceiver.h header file?

For now, that's exactly the way to go. Just take any existing transceiver as an example. For concrete questions, please ask here on the mailing list.

But you might also want to take a look at this PR: drivers: Introduce a general interface for network device drivers by miri64 · Pull Request #1492 · RIOT-OS/RIOT · GitHub, where Martine is proposing a new general network interface.

Cheers, Oleg
