Board: Mulle
The Mulle is a miniature wireless Embedded Internet System suitable for wireless sensors connected to the Internet of Things, and designed for rapid prototyping. It can be bought directly from Eistec AB.
Use BOARD=mulle for building RIOT for this platform.
https://github.com/eistec/mulle/wiki/Datasheets contains a list of relevant documentation for the components.
| MCU | MK60DN512VLL10 – Cortex-M4, 512 kB flash, 64kB RAM |
|---|---|
| radio chipset | AT86RF212B, sub-GHz IEEE802.15.4 transceiver, similar to the AT86RF233 |
| external flash memory | Micron M25P16 16 Mbits external NOR flash, used for storing configuration, measurements and other slow changing non-volatile data |
| external FRAM memory | Cypress/Ramtron FM25L04B 4 Kbits external F-RAM, used for storing counters and other rapidly changing non-volatile data |
| accelerometer | ST micro LIS3DH MEMS accelerometer, |
This port is currently a work in progress, lots of components are not working yet. The examples/default basic functionality is working. The branch mulle on https://github.com/gebart/RIOT is the current progress. A PR will be opened after it has been cleaned up a bit more.
A tracker for Kinetis devices can be found at Issue #2188
The radio is currently untested in RIOT, but since the RF231 is somewhat supported it should be a minor porting effort to get the RF212B working.

See ARM Family, and Eistec wiki - Installing-toolchain (GCC)
Working:
- gcc-arm-embedded
- Clang 3.4, Clang 3.5 - Install procedure not documented but pretty straightforward (Gentoo:
USE=multitarget), Makefiles and build system is fully functional with Clang.
Not working:
- Link time optimization (LTO) - Requires the GOLD linker, which currently fails on the K60 ldscripts. Needs refactoring of the ldscripts.
