HAL Stack

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

The example code shipped with the keyfob has a HAL.  I found somewhere that it may be called the Z-stack?  Is there any information or examples to include serial communications using the hal_uart.h api?

I'm basically trying to make the keyfob communicate with a device over RS232 but I'm unfamiliar with TI's HAL.

  • Hi Jonathan,

    I thing you have some mixed concepts.

    the z-stack is a similar stack to the Bluetooth Low Energy one, but for another technology, called ZigBee. Both of them contain a layer, called HAL, which stands for Hardware Abstraction Layer, which helps interacting with leds (hal_led.c) uart (hal_uart.c) and so on.

    Regarding the examples, the forum is really full of them. Try searching. Bye!

  • After further investigation, I found some good information here: Using UART in CC111xFx, CC243xFx, CC251xFx and CC253xF

    Even though it doesnt mention the 2540, I believe the 2530 (zigbee) is built on the same chip and has almost the same features as the 2540.

  • Yes it does.
