# mynewt-dw1000-core

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/Decawave/mynewt-dw1000-core.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/Decawave/mynewt-dw1000-core)

## Overview

The distribution <https://github.com/decawave/mynewt-dw1000-core> contains the device driver model for the Decawave DW1000 Impulse Radio-Ultra Wideband (IR-UWB) transceiver within the Mynewt-OS. The driver includes hardware abstraction layers (HAL), media access control (MAC) layer, Ranging Services (RNG) and light weight IP (lwip) stacks. The DW1000 driver and Mynewt-OS combine to create a hardware and architecture agnostic platform for IoT Location Based Services (LBS). This augmented with the newtmgt management tools creates a compelling environment for large-scale deployment of LBS. The newt management tool uses a repo methodology for package management. The driver contained herein becomes a dependent repo for any DW1000 related project and is automatically included in projects as required––the <https://github.com/decawave/mynewt-dw1000-apps> showcases this relationship.

This repo also contains the board support package (BSP) for the Decawave dwm10001 module and dwm1001-dev kit. The dwm1001 includes a nrf52832 and the dw1000 transceiver. dwm1001-dev is a breakout board that supports a Seggar OB-JLink interface with RTT support. The mynewt build environment provides a clean interface for maintaining these BSPs, and the contained DWM1001 BSP can serve as a template for other DW1000 enabled platforms. The dwm1001-dev and the driver contained herein provide a clean out-of-the-box experience for UWB LBS products.

A single dw1000 transceiver can be used to form a 6LowPAN mesh network while concurrently measuring distance between nodes. Dual DW1000 devices can be used to measure Range and Azimuth also known as Angle-of-Arrival (AoA). With this intent, this driver is thread-safe and multi-instance. The driver has a hierarchical architecture and is partitioned into functional groups.

## Under-the-hood

The mynewt-dw1000-core driver implements the MAC layers and exports a MAC extension interface for additional services, this MAC interface is defined in the struct _dw1000_mac_interface_t found in (../master/hw/driver/dw1000/include/dw1000_dev.h)

### Ranging Services (RNG)

Ranging services binds to the MAC interface--this interface exposes callbacks to various events within the ranging process. The driver currently support the following ranging profiles;

### Default Config:

| Config  | Description          |  Value  |
| ------------- |:-------------:| -----:|
| PRF  | Pulse Repetition Frequency   |  64MHz  |
| PLEN      | Preamble length         | 128  |
| NPHR      | Number of symbols       | 16  |
| SDF     | start of frame deliminator length  |  8 |
| DataRate     |Data Rate       | 6.8Mbps |

### RNG profile:
| profile       | Description          | Benchmark  |
| ------------- |:-------------:| -----:|
| twr_ss        | Single Sided Two Way Ranging      | 1110us    |
| twr_ds        | Double Sided Two Way Ranging      |  2420us   |
| twr_ds_ext    | DS-TWR /w extended data payload   |   2775us  |

### NRNG profile:

| profile       | Description  | Benchmark  |
| ------------- |:-------------:| -----:|
| nrng_ss | n TWR_SS ranges with 2*n+2 messages  | 1860us for n=4, 2133us for n=6|
| nrng_ds | n TWR_DS ranges with 2*n+2 messages  | TBD us for n=4 |

### Clock Calibration Packet (CCP) Service
The CCP service is the metronome with the system and defines the superframe events. The CCP service has a master and slave profiles. CCP is used in conjunction with Wireless Clock Synchronization (WCS) library and the TDMA library.

### Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) Service
The TDMA library subdivides the superframe into slots. The architecture is a synchronous design with all node/tags confining their transmission to within their assigned slot. The number of slots in the resulting architecture is user defined, and as such consideration should be given to the benchmarks above.

### Wireless Clock Synchronization (WCS) Service
With the exception of explicitly wired synchronization, the various clock within the system drifts over time and temperature. The Double Sided Two Way Ranging (DS-TWR) scheme inherently compensates for the clock drift. The WCS service provides a mechanism for explicitly measuring the relative clock skew and compensating for same. With WCS a single-sided two way ranging (SS-TWR) achieves comparable performance to a DS-TWR scheme. With WCS all time measurements are referenced to the master clock, this simplifies the TDOA architecture by distributing the clock synchronization function across nodes.

### Light Weight IP (lwIP) Service

## Project Status

The mynewt-dw1000-core repo is still a work in progress with the following extension in development:

| New Fetures   | Description          | schedule |
| ------------- |:-------------:| -----:|
| TDOA  | Time Difference of Arrival profiles| 18Q4|
| PDOA  | Phase Difference of Arrival profiles| 18Q4|
| OpenThread Shim  | MAC extension supporting OpenThread stack| 18Q4|
