Introduction

The Zigbee Network Processor (ZNP) allows you to easily create Zigbee applications without having to make extensive changes to the Zigbee Stack. This page is a general overview of the examples we've provided to interface with the ZNP. See documentation on each file for more infomation. Methods are commented in the .c files. Header files list public (externally accessible) methods only.

There are two interfaces to the ZNP: the Simple API and the Application Framework / Zigbee Device Objects (AFZDO). Simple API is a little easier, as it is only ~10 methods to learn, but AFZDO is more powerful.

The examples included demonstrate basic functionality to help you get up and running quickly. There are four categories of examples:

System Interface

These are the generic ZNP configuration methods and can be used with Simple API or AFZDO. These require a hardware interface file (znp_interface_spi.c).

• znp_commands.c
• znp_interface.c
• znpRfTestInterface.c Note: this is only needed for RF testing

Application Programming Interface

This enables your application to send/receive data using the ZNP. Use either Simple API or AFZDO but not both.

• simple_api.c: Implements the Simple API
• af_zdo.c: Implements the AF/ZDO

ZNP Hardware Interface

This file supports the SPI interface

• znp_interface_spi.c

Miscellaneous ZNP Utilities

Methods or defines used by one or more of the previous files.

• znp_commands.c: defines all the commands used by the ZNP
• application_configuration.c: utility method used in registerApplication() in Simple API or AFZDO

Note:

Projects compiled with IAR Embedded Workbench for IAR version 4.21.2
