##Minutes

• Peter proposed the agenda
• Agenda was approved as followed:

1. Collect feedback on last shared Hack'n'ACK/plan for next one
2. Peter requested comments for DAC PR
3. Request feedback on 802.15.4 module Microchip MRF24J40MA
4. Requesting one phyWAVE-A-Eval-Board evaluation board for FU and one for HAW
5. Discuss difficulties on using netdev with no standard 802.15.4 device
6. 802.15.4 industrial long range module for HAW

###Collect feedback on last shared Hack'n'ACK/plan for next one

• Overall positive response from FU and HAW

• FU schedule c-base preparations earlier for the next Hack'n'ACK
• HAW camera position has been commented as "Nearly perfect"

• Next Hack'n'ACK probably on 6th Jan. '15, skipping 30th Dec. '14 but keeping schedule for next year

###Peter requested comments for DAC PR #2023

• Oleg will check this PR with stm32f4discovery if available

###Martin requested feedback on 802.15.4 module Microchip MRF24J40MA

• Motivation on this was:

• Support for 802.15.4 over SPI
• Cheep solution for stm boards (~6€ for the transceiver and ~15€ for a board)
• Availability to the public

• Oleg was positive on the proposed transceiver
• Peter contacts Kévin Roussel about an alternative SPI transceiver

###Requesting one phyWAVE-A-Eval-Board evaluation board for FU and one for HAW

• Johann Fisher (phytec) proposed to provide up to 2 phyWAVE-A-Eval-Board to RIOT developers
• Peter contacts Johann Fischer to ask for an evaluation board

• In best case one for FU and one for HAW

###Discussion on difficulties using netdev with no standard 802.15.4 device

• Peter asked for pro and contra on adapting uncommon transmitters (e.g. BTLE) to 6LoWPAN

• Oleg pointed that the implementation/usage may rise unnecessary overhead
• Emmanuel pointed to contact Carsten Bormann/6LoWPAN mailing list due to the topic is more relevant to 6LoWPAN than RIOT
• Peter will ping Hauke Petersen on his opinion and also ask Carsten Bormann

• nrf24l01+ and netdev or netapi

• Peter asked how to proceed with nrf24l01+ and netdev interface #1808
• Peter pointed to issue #2021 as description for the problems with porting
• Oleg proposed to adopt nrf24l01+ to netapi in favour of netdev
  • Peter will have a look at it

###802.15.4 industrial long range module to HAW

• INRIA ordered 8 devices and is willing to share some (2) with HAW
