==== Description: ====
µracoli stands for "microcontroller radio communications library" and is
intended to be a package, that demonstrates capabilities and usage of Atmels
IEEE-802.15.4 radio transceiver (AT86RF230) in combination with AVR 8 bit
microcontrollers (e.g. ATmega16, ATmega1281, ...).

Currently µracoli contains not another 802.15.4 MAC implementation. It
primarily provides basic low level routines for operating the transceiver
chips, e.g. configuring the transceiver parameters, doing CSMA/CA and sending
and receiving frames. These functions are available in the library
libradio_[board].a.

In order to create easily own applications, µracoli provides also a set of
helper functions for host interface communication, timer control and general
purpose IO control, which are available in the library libio_[board].a.

Nevertheless the library libradio_[board].a can be used sole, without any
need for libio_[board].a. Just the SPI interface of the microcontroller, two
GPIO ports andone IRQ line are necessarry to control the radio transceiver.

Because there are many different variants of hardware platforms with the
above mentioned microcontrollers and the transceiver, µracoli provides also a
platform abstraction concept, which allows the easy definition and integration
of new hardware platforms into the project.

==== Other Comments: ====
The tar ball expands within the directory uracoli-0.06, which 
is my local version number. So the string "-0.06" should 
not appear in the cvs module name.

Thanks for your effort and best regards from Meissen/Germany, 
Axel
