Views: 30

Chibi is an open source wireless stack. Chibi means "midget" in Japanese which describes this stack quite well. It's a no-frills stack that just has three main functions: init, send, and receive. Its meant to be a simple way to establish wireless communications with a wireless radio without getting into a lot of protocol complexity. See this blog post for more info.

Hmm, this OpenTag is interesting. From the Wikipedia article: "OpenTag is a DASH7 protocol stack and minimal RTOS, written in C. It is designed to run on microcontrollers or radio SoCs.". It does DASH7 Mode 2, which sounds nice. There is a SourcForge page for it: OpenTag. It looks like activity on the project isn't very high, though.

If you have been unlucky enough to download .acsm files on your Linux machine, and feeling cheated, this is the cure: A WINE Remedy for acsm epub DRM Adobe ADEs. It is not a very quick solution, but it works. If you get an error about P11-Kit and run the 64-bit version of Linux, you might need to employ this fix: (look at answer 1): Wine can't find gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so.
