Synkro

SynkroFreescale's Synkro Protocol is a lightweight networking stack built on top of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The protocol was created to control, monitor and automate consumer electronic products including televisions, DVD players and recorders, set top boxes, audio video receivers, remote control and many more. Synkro overcomes the growing technology challenges that today’s consumer electronic products face with 30 year old infrared (IR) technology by removing the line of sight and field of vision issues while providing a fast bi-direction link to enhance user experiences. Freescale's Synkro starts with 802.15.4, but incorporates improvements in interference avoidance by adding channel agility and low latency transmissions to address the specific needs of consumer electronics.

Sensor Network Analyzer (SNA) 

Please note that Daintree's Sensor Network Analyzer software and Sensor Network Adapter hardware were discontinued on March 31, 2010, and are no longer available for sale. The following information is provided for support purposes only.  

Daintree's SNA provides a powerful development, analysis and troubleshooting tool for Synkro. Its Packet List and Packet Timeline windows show a summary of all packets received. You can select a packet in either window to display its details in the Packet Decode window, through which you can "drill down" and see details for every field and every byte within that packet.

Customization options allow you to color-code different packet and field types to make them easy to identify. And powerful filters allow you to quickly locate packets of interest from among thousands of packets.
