Raspbee II Board Support

[nasprouse]

I want to start trying ZigDiggity but it looks like the Raspbee board specified in the supported hardware list has been discontinued and is unavailable for purchase.

The Rasbee board has been replaced with the Raspbee II.

Will the Raspbee II board work? If not, is there a plan to support it in the future?

I don't think ZigDiggity supports Raspbee Ⅱ yet. And Update beacon.py is the latest commit till now.

The Raspbee Ⅱ (ATSAMR21B18 ARM® Cortex®-M0+) uses a different chip from the old Raspbee (deRFmega256-23M12), but ZigDiggity only provides one firmware.

And I tried to flash this firmware to Raspbee Ⅱ on Raspberry Pi 4 model B and Raspberry Pi 3 model B v1.2 using GCFFlasher. As a result it returned a error:

$ sudo GCFFlasher -f firmware/zigdiggity_raspbee.bin
GCFFlasher V2_11 (c) dresden elektronik ingenieurtechnik gmbh 2017/12/10
no device specified use RaspBee (/dev/ttyS0)

device used by other application?

Hi @0Xroot Sebas,do you have any idea to fix it?

Please support support either something like the CC2531 or the RasbBee II.

I think we need to design a customized firmware for Raspbee II, such that it can be used for tools like KillerBee or Zigdigtty.

Any idea about the firmware?

I am also facing this problem, I would like to use ZigDiggity but can't get my hands on a Raspbee, so I think a solution would be to add support for other hardware, like Raspbee II.
I am willing to buy the board and do some tests.
