The answer is yes, to both questions :)

To be precise, we (TUB) have only developed a standard compliant
802.15.4
MAC called TKN154. So we have two 802.15.4 MAC implementations and
only
one
Zigbee.
Back in the days when the net2 group has been formed we had a long
discussion about the point in the protocol stack where the
responsibilities
of core should end and where net2 should take over. We came to a
reasonable
conclusion that MAC implementations should remain in core due to the
tight
interdependence with the radio chip and timer HW abstractions. I think
practice has proven that this was a good decision because it helped
shield
net2 from the changes we did in core.
Now that we have a proper place in the code tree for different mac
implementations (tos/lib/mac)
Which place did you mean? I have just performed an updated and I
couldn't find any /tos/lib/mac folder.
Did you use cvs update -d
The -d flag is necessary to also get newly created directories (Why
again does tinyos development stick with cvs?)
No I forgot it :S, Now I found the folder
But the following questions continue to be open:
- The Porto's zigbee that you are speaking about is the one available
in the /tos/lib/net/zigbee folder?
- Is the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC implemented by Porto the one available in
/tos/lib/net/zigbee/ieee802154 folder?
I think that the right way to proceed is for
Porto to factor out the MAC part of their implementation and move it
into
this folder, at the same time transferring the responsibility for this
code
from net2 to core. To this end, a representative of Porto might join
core,
etc. This is completely independent from the decision if the higher
parts
of Porto's zigbee implementation remain in net2 or a new WG is formed
as
Matt proposed.
The Porto's zigbee that you are speaking about is the one available in
the /tos/lib/net/zigbee folder?
But I think that the standard compliant IEEE 802.15.4 MAC
implementations should remain under core for the above stated reasons.
Where is the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC located?
