Is it possible to bypass the QoS engine on nRF2460 to make a custom protocol?

Basically, I need the 4 Mbps data rate of the nRF2460 radio but I need to make a custom protocol. Can I access the radio directly?

  • @jdavid75: I don't think it's possible to modify that, the firmware on nRF2460 is on ROM so it's not possible to change.

    What I can suggest is to use several nRF24L01+ in parallel to achieve 4Mbps. You would need to have a away of synchronization and make sure they won't transmit on the same channel. I haven't tried this myself.

    Also, it should be noted that the maximum datarate of 2Mbps on nRF24L01+ (or 4Mbps on nRF2460) is just the onair data rate (including preamble, header, crc, etc) the actual payload datarate will be lower.
