Detailed Description

Utilities to assist changing hardware platforms.

We designed the ZNP library and examples to be easy to port to different hardware platforms. All interfaces to the hardware is done through one Hardware Abstraction Library (HAL) file. To change hardware platforms you need to create a HAL file for your hardware platform.

These utility methods will help you if you are changing hardware platforms by providing simple test methods for the HAL methods required by the ZNP library. You will need to supply your own hal_xxxx.c and hal_xxxx.h files, where xxxx is the name of your hardware platform. If you are changing hardware it is assumed that you are very familiar with your destination hardware platform.

There are several tests, define the one you want to run.

To change hardware platforms:

You will need access to an oscilloscope and/or logic analyzer. Good low cost ($150) logic analyzer: www.saleae.com
Copy and rename the hal_cc2530znp_target_board.h and .c files for your hardware.
Include your new hal_xxxx.c file in this project, and remove the existing hal_cc2530znp_target_board.c file
Using the schematic of your target board, update the MACROS REQUIRED FOR ZNP in the .h file and all the methods in the .c file.
Go through the tests below in order.
Run the basic examples: button_blink, hello_world, and reset_radio.
Be sure that the target device is configured in your compiler correctly.
Next, run the basic communications examples.
We recommend you get the examples working first, and then do any optimizations, rather than the other way around.
Refer to the TI E2E forums for support.
