Product Description |
|
The U-NET01 platform is composed of
hardware and firmware. Users only have to modify the
codes of the application layer to accommodate the code
needs for their applications. The bottom
hardware portion is composed of UBEC’s UZ2400 chip.
UZ2400 serves both as the physical layer (PHY) and the
media access layer (MAC). UZ2400 communicates with the
host MCU through a 4-wire SPI interface. The UZ2400
driver library, which is called Simple RF (SRF) library,
is utilized by the MCU as the bottom driver. The U-NET
network stack which resides in SRF is the core
technology of the network stack. Users only need to be
familiar with a few (fewer than 10 sets) application
program interface (API) functions before they can start
programming the application layer and the control of the
whole network.

U-NET Network Stack |
|
The U-NET01 platform is composed of
hardware and firmware. Users only have to modify the
codes of the application layer to accommodate the code
needs for their applications. The architecture of the
U-NET01 platform is shown in Figure 2. The bottom
hardware portion is composed of UBEC’s UZ2400 chip.
UZ2400 serves both as the physical layer (PHY) and the
media access layer (MAC). UZ2400 communicates with the
host MCU through a 4-wire SPI interface. The UZ2400
driver library, which is called Simple RF (SRF) library,
is utilized by the MCU as the bottom driver. The U-NET
network stack which resides in SRF is the core
technology of the network stack. Users only need to be
familiar with a few (fewer than 10 sets) application
program interface (API) functions before they can start
programming the application layer and the control of the
whole network.
