Layer 2 Bridge on FreeRTOS

Software Embedded

Hi everyone, I’m working on a layer 2 bridge station between an ethernet interface and the Morse Micro halow interface; the application requires a strict low power consumption so I’m trying to figure out if this is feasible on a FreeRTOS capable MCU.
However looking in to morselib documentation and IoT-SDK I found out that the library exposes layer 3. Morselib is precompiled so I couldn’t understand if would ever be able to do such thing on the FreeRTOS platform.

Is there any plan to open source morselib as per the Linux implementation? Is this actually achievable on FreeRTOS?

We are planning on open sourcing morselib! Hopefully should be available by the end of the year or early next year.

You will likely require 4addr mode to be able to construct a layer 2 bridge. Our library does not support 4addr mode at this time, but it is planned for a future release.
