The Construction of Ad Hoc Networks Based on OMAP3530-Mini Development Board

Owing to the Ad Hoc networks' characteristics of centerless, self-organizing, its application range becomes more and more extensive. This paper gives the implementation scheme of building Ad Hoc Networks with OMAP3530-Mini development boards. In Ubuntu develop environment, make suitable embedded kernel for OMAP3530-Mini board, build simplified root file system to achieve the basic functions of file system. Cross-compile the driver for wireless network card and wireless tools, so that the driver procedure can run on the development board successfully,and wireless tools can configure the network. Transplant AODV routing protocol to the platform, so that the nodes in the network are capable of multi-hop communications. Test the established network based on the above work on point to point communication, multi-hop communication, text communication,speech communication and FTP file transfer. The result of the test and analysis show that the Ad Hoc networks based on the given method can validate general algorithm for Ad Hoc.
