libcsp (Cubesat Space Protocol) ###############################

Introduction

libcsp is an implementation of the CubeSat Space Protocol (CSP). It is a small protocol stack written in C. CSP is designed to ease communication between distributed embedded systems in small networks, such as CubeSats. The design follows the TCP/IP model and includes a transport protocol, a routing protocol, and several MAC-layer interfaces. The core of libcsp includes a router, a connection-oriented socket API, and message and connection pools.

Zephyr is used in some Cubesats and they use libcsp to communicates with the other components in the Cubesats.

libcsp is licensed under the MIT license.

Usage with Zephyr

To use libcsp with Zephyr, you first need to add the following snipet to your west.yaml:

.. code-block:: yaml

manifest: projects: - name: libcsp url: https://github.com/libcsp/libcsp revision: develop path: modules/lib/libcsp

And add this to your prj.conf:

.. code-block:: cfg

 CONFIG_LIBCSP=y

Once you've added libcsp to your project, run west update.

For more detailed instructions and API documentation, refer to the libcsp documentation_.
