		<description><![CDATA[New boot loaders for the WidgetBoards have been uploaded to both SVN and to the downloads area.&#160; The fuse settings have also been updated in the documentation.
I’ve also integrated the Atmega328P version of the WidgetBoard into the Arduino development environment so please update your boards.txt with the one from SVN.

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve had some mixed success with the serial port hack on the Airlive device since my previous post.
After setting up the uclib development environment I have now successfully compiled avrdude so I can program the RFM12WidgetBoard located inside the device, however I had a couple of issues when trying to talk to the WidgetBoard.
Nothing happens [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve just committed my current progress on porting Contiki Operating System to the RFM12WidgetBoard to SVN. 

Serial working
LED API implemented.
Event timers now working.
Added blinky example that demonstrates all of the above. 

Now compiling to 5166 bytes of flash and using 387 bytes of ram. 
 
Next step is SPI and RFM12B drivers!

Here is a picture of the RFM22 (Left) next to the RFM12B (Right).&#160; Pretty much the same physical size, but more pins, and a lot of very small discrete components.

So What’s New?
These new transceiver modules from HopeRF appear to [...]]]></description>
