Overview

The FaradayIO firmware per tradespace (https://github.com/FaradayRF/Athena/issues/3) will consist of a simple bare-metal firmware platform to perform:

• UART SLIP decoding of IP frames from computer (TUN network adapter)
• RF Packet Creation
• RF Transmission

This simplistic firmware approach will provide a wireless wire like interface for the Python TUN network adapter to pass data through. Faraday hardware itself will have no MAC layer knowledge and therefor any support of more than two units in a single area will need to be handled on the computer software level. There will be no active control of Faraday settings, a basic "settings mode" may be created to adjust frequency, power, and other parameters when booted into this mode (i.e. if a specific packet is sent during the first 5 seconds of boot time). In the future, simple decoding of SLIP or IP packets could allow basic data interaction with Faraday hardware.
