Overview

This design document provides a detailed reference for the serial Application Programming Interface (API) used to communicate with SmartMesh IP motes. It covers the serial protocol using HDLC packet encapsulation, data representation, and the command-response mechanism between an external microprocessor and the mote. The guide includes exhaustive documentation for commands related to network joining, socket management (UDP), parameter configuration (MAC address, network ID, transmission power), and radio testing. Additionally, it describes asynchronous notifications such as data reception, event logging, and transmission confirmations. The document serves as a technical manual for integrating the LTC5800-IPM SoC and LTP5901-IPM modules into wireless sensor network applications.

Use Cases

  • Interfacing a microcontroller with a SmartMesh IP mote
  • Developing firmware for wireless sensor nodes
  • Configuring network parameters in SmartMesh IP systems
  • Implementing UDP data transmission over 6LoWPAN
  • Monitoring network events and radio performance
