The low cost and small profile RF solution 2.4GHz, 802.15.4/Proprietary Wireless Transceiver PMOD board (EVAL-ADF7242-PMDZ) is designed to support RF to FPGA or processor applications system that utilizes PMOD-compatible expansion ports configurable for SPI communication (PACKET MODE). For applications that require data streaming, a synchronous bidirectional serial port (SPORT) interface is also available. The Wireless Transceiver PMOD board can be selectively configured to operate on the 2400 MHz to 2483.5 MHz ISM band. This uses single chip ADF7242 2.4Ghz transceiver, with most of the system blocks embedded on chip, and minimizing eternal RF components .
The Wireless Transceiver PMOD board uses mini 2.4Ghz Chip Antennas. In conjunction with the impedance-matched (complex differential impedance value) filter balun, reduces the RF front end count. This PMOD board supports polarization diversity that uses two chip antennas which can greatly improve performance under multipath fading conditions.
Refer to the ADF7242 IC data sheet for detailed information regarding operation of the device.

Below you can find a simple command line tool that was used to convert the original firmware HEX file into binary format consumed by the ADF7242 Linux device driver.
For compile time configuration, it’s common Linux practice to keep board- and application-specific configuration out of the main driver file, instead putting it into the board support file.
For devices on custom boards, as typical of embedded and SoC-(system-on-chip) based hardware, Linux uses platform_data to point to board-specific structures describing devices and how they are connected to the SoC. This can include available ports, chip variants, preferred modes, default initialization, additional pin roles, and so on. This shrinks the board-support packages (BSPs) and minimizes board and application specific #ifdefs in drivers.
Unlike PCI or USB devices, SPI devices are not enumerated at the hardware level. Instead, the software must know which devices are connected on each SPI bus segment, and what slave selects these devices are using. For this reason, the kernel code must instantiate SPI devices explicitly. The most common method is to declare the SPI devices by bus number.
This method is appropriate when the SPI bus is a system bus, as in many embedded systems, wherein each SPI bus has a number which is known in advance. It is thus possible to pre-declare the SPI devices that inhabit this bus. This is done with an array of struct spi_board_info, which is registered by calling spi_register_board_info().

Alternatively, it is possible to declare the SPI devices from a DeviceTree file.
Read the documentation for more details.
Example:
adf7242@0 { compatible = "adi,adf7242"; reg = <0>; spi-max-frequency = <10000000>; interrupts = <0x62 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>; adi,hw-aack-mode-enable; adi,auto-csma-ca-mode-enable; };
Configure kernel with “make menuconfig” (alternatively use “make xconfig” or “make qconfig”)
The ADF7242 Driver depends on CONFIG_SPI and CONFIG_IEEE802154

On this demo network, we will have two different boards communicating with each other using ADF7242 modules: a Raspberry Pi and a ZedBoard.
lowpan-tools are deprecated please use linux-wpan tools available here: linux-wpan
Example using lowpan-tools
iwpan dev wpan0 set pan_id 0x777 iwpan phy phy0 set channel 0 11 iwpan dev wpan0 set ackreq_default 1 ifconfig wpan0 up ip link add link wpan0 name lowpan0 type lowpan ip route add 2001::/64 dev lowpan0 ip addr add 2001::4/128 dev lowpan0 ifconfig lowpan0 up
We will configure the two devices to use the PAN ID 0x0777, the hardware addresses a0::1 and a0::2, and the short addresses 0x8001 and 0x8002.
Then, we will give them IPv6 addresses and test 6loWPAN communication with standard GNU tools.
root:/> HW_ADDR="a0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1" root:/> DEVICE_ADDR=8001 # hexadecimal root:/> PAN_ID=777 # hexadecimal root:/> CHANNEL=11 root:/> root:/> iz add wpan-phy0 Registered new device ('wpan0') on phy wpan-phy0 root:/> ip link set wpan0 address ${HW_ADDR} root:/> ifconfig wpan0 up root:/> iz set wpan0 ${PAN_ID} ${DEVICE_ADDR} ${CHANNEL}
We only need to change the first two lines:
root:/> HW_ADDR="a0:0:0:0:0:0:0:2" root:/> DEVICE_ADDR=8002 # hexadecimal root:/> PAN_ID=777 # hexadecimal root:/> CHANNEL=11 root:/> root:/> iz add wpan-phy0 Registered new device ('wpan0') on phy wpan-phy0 root:/> ip link set wpan0 address ${HW_ADDR} root:/> ifconfig wpan0 up root:/> iz set wpan0 ${PAN_ID} ${DEVICE_ADDR} ${CHANNEL}
Some GNU/Linux distributions offered on the Raspberry Pi, like Raspbian, will auto-enable the wpan0 interface as soon as it is created. We can disable this behaviour with the following command:
root:/> ifplugd -S -i wpan0 && ifconfig wpan0 down
Now that our two devices are correctly configured, we can verify that the two devices can communicate using the “izchat” application:
ZedBoard:
root:/> izchat 0x0777 0x8001 0x8002 Hello World! >Thanks
Raspberry Pi:
root:/> izchat 0x0777 0x8002 0x8001 >Hello World! Thanks
This is a pretty simple two way communication. The ASCII strings are encapsulated in IEEE802.15.4 DATA frames.
The previous example shows that communication is working, but it is not very useful. By using the 6loWPAN protocol on top (the low-power equivalent of the IPv6 protocol), we can allow standard Linux network applications to communicate over the IEEE 802.15.4 link with standard sockets.
root:/> HW_ADDR="a0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1" # Same as before root:/> IPV6_ADDR="2001::1/128" root:/> root:/> ip link add link wpan0 name lowpan0 type lowpan root:/> ip link set lowpan0 address ${HW_ADDR} root:/> root:/> ip addr add ${IPV6_ADDR} dev lowpan0 root:/> ip route add 2001::/64 dev lowpan0
root:/> HW_ADDR="a0:0:0:0:0:0:0:2" # Same as before root:/> IPV6_ADDR="2001::2/128" root:/> root:/> ip link add link wpan0 name lowpan0 type lowpan root:/> ip link set lowpan0 address ${HW_ADDR} root:/> root:/> ip addr add ${IPV6_ADDR} dev lowpan0 root:/> ip route add 2001::/64 dev lowpan0
Some GNU/Linux distributions offered on the Raspberry Pi, like Raspbian, will auto-enable the lowpan0 interface as soon as it is created. We can disable this behaviour with the following command:
root:/> ifplugd -S -i lowpan0 && ifconfig lowpan0 down
From the Raspberry Pi, we can now ping the ZedBoard at the address fe80::a200:0:0:1%lowpan0:

We can as well ping the Raspberry Pi from the Zedboard using the address fe80::a200:0:0:2%lowpan0.
The following is just to demonstrate that any Linux program can, using standard sockets, communicate over the IEEE 802.15.4 link with 6loWPAN:
