bokkie1 mesh distribution firmware

This software specification is based on the current free BSD version of the firmware. I have named it "bokkie1 mesh distribution" as a working title (for want of a better name - please provide a nice snazzy one)

  • A script is used to build the current firmware build based on the platform. Please insert the list of packages\utilites\etc used to make this build.
  • Additional
    • IPv4 over IPv6
      • Allows for automatic configuration of the tunnels
      • Automatic DHCP of IPv4
    • Other?

Remote upgradeable

What current functionality exists?

What further development is needed?

What limitations exits?

  • Cannot be remotely upgraded if there is a protocol change

Further development to functionality

  • GSM modem to the development network and first nodes in the field
  • Watchdog
  • WEP security
  • Mechanism to get the GPS co-ord configured in the HPN. This can later be used in the visualisation tool on the gateway with a Google plot of the nodes.
