Development for wireless modules with PIC processor under GNU/Linux - IQRF

Development kit for the IQRF platform on a breadboard.

PDF document: A study of connecting IQRF modules to an Android device

The IQRF platform is developed by the company microrisc.
Development is supported only for the MS Windows OS.
You can learn something about development under GNU/Linux here: https://open-nandra.com/
And the SW needed for it is growing here: https://github.com/nandra/.
A copy of the current repository branch can be made e.g.: git clone git://github.com/nandra/liqrf.git
You also need the CC5X compiler, which is on the CD and on the website of the module manufacturer, and which is run using wine.
A model solution using this platform or the similar Warduxere can be found at: https://wireless.xeres.cz

I started with porting the IQRF library Liqrf to Neo FreeRunner
I think it is possible (for me).
I am planning to make a python binding for easier and faster development.

I succeeded!!!
I made a simple test application to test the connection with the IQRF module. I think it will work on every ARMv4T with linux. Of course you need USB with host mode.
You can download it from: IQRFtestArm

I developed the program NeoIQRF. It is the first program with a GUI for the OpenMoko which communicates with IQRF.

For download contact me.

Evaluation of the states from the wireless communication project on the FreeRunner:

Simple low cost board for communication between IQRF and PC via USB
Simple small board for end nodes.
The board is also multiplatform, it works under Linux x86-32, x86-64 and Arm, even under MS Windows.

I bought new TR53B modules with IQRF OS v3.0 and SIM connectors for deployment in the project IQRF Wireless Monitorig

NeoIQRF and a simple low cost communication board

I connected the phone with the IQRF module using the Simple low cost communication board. It would be possible to connect the IQRF module with the TouchBook tablet in the same way.
With a standard GNU/Linux system, connecting to the IQRF module using this interface was even easier than when using the IQRF develop board.
With true Gnu/Linux is every thing simple, only need time for hacking.

A study of connecting IQRF modules to an Android device: USB vs. SPI

I switched to a better solution Wireless Arduino with low power consumption
