Robert Quattlebaum 28a1e40ebd core/lib/settings: Generalized Settings Manager to work on any platform
This commit moves the Settings Manager from the AVR codebase
into the Contiki core library. Any platform that implements
the Contiki EEPROM API can now use the Settings Manager's
key-value store for storing their persistent configuration info.

The Settings Manager is a EEPROM-based key-value store. Keys
are 16-bit integers and values may be up to 16,383 bytes long.
It is intended to be used to store configuration-related information,
like network settings, radio channels, etc.

 * Robust data format which requires no initialization.
 * Supports multiple values with the same key.
 * Data can be appended without erasing EEPROM.
 * Max size of settings data can be easily increased in the future,
   as long as it doesn't overlap with application data.

The format was inspired by the [OLPC manufacturing data format][].

Since the beginning of EEPROM often contains application-specific
information, the best place to store settings is at the end of EEPROM
(the "top"). Because we are starting at the end of EEPROM, it makes
sense to grow the list of key-value pairs downward, toward the start of
EEPROM.

Each key-value pair is stored in memory in the following format:

Order    | Size     | Name         | Description
--------:|---------:|--------------|-------------------------------
       0 |        2 | `key`        | 16-bit key
      -2 |        1 | `size_check` | One's-complement of next byte
      -3 |   1 or 2 | `size`       | The size of `value`, in bytes
-4 or -5 | variable | `value`      | Value associated with `key`

The end of the key-value pairs is denoted by the first invalid entry.
An invalid entry has any of the following attributes:

 * The `size_check` byte doesn't match the one's compliment of the
   `size` byte (or `size_low` byte).
 * The key has a value of 0x0000.

David Kopf cac4e9a222 Add clock_delay_us and clock_set_seconds to clock.h. Modify clock_wait to use clock_time_t.
Remove the troublesome avr/dev/delay.* files.
Add PLATFORM_NAME and combine the confusing *_REVISION defines into a single PLATFORM_TYPE

Nicholas J Humfrey 680225e99d Converted u8_t to uint8_t and u16_t to uint16_t in the platforms directory.
Added "These names are deprecated, use C99 names" warnings the contiki-conf.h files that were missing it.

dak664 58b7a19803 Hardware/software radio HAL patch from Roger Larsson.
Use CHANNEL_802_15_4 define for RF channel on all AVR platforms, default 26.
Remove hopefully unnecessary interrupt disable wrapper on eeprom reads and writes.

adamdunkels 65eb5fd4e8 Renamed the rimebuf module to packetbuf to signal that the module is used outside of a pure Rime context (e.g., the sicslowpan code uses it). 2009-03-12 21:58:20 +00:00
