CC2530: CC2530 Zigbee NWK layer open source

Part Number: CC2530
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

Hi,

I want to port Zigbee stack CC2530 (from NWK layer to upper layers) to Arduino ESP32. But NWK layer is closed-source. I see there's only .h files, and some .c source files.

When I receive MAC frames on CC2530, I will send it to ESP32 through SPI. And all Zigbee stack will be processed in ESP32 FreeRTOS environment. Surely that I will make many modifications for FreeRTOS ESP32.

I prefer to use TI CC2530 chips to get more supports rather than ZBOSS. ZBOSS v1.0 is quite old.

Could TI provide NWK source code? I need code to understand and port to ESP32.

Thank you very much.

Cuong.

As I know, TI doesn't provide network source codes to application developers.

Hi YiKai,

I see that. NWK layer is not so confidential to them, it's not related to deep radio registers as at MAC layer. Hope that TI would support community.

On ESP32, I could have flexible stacks to use 802.15.4, and strong resources RAM, and CPU. It will open more opportunities for applications.

Thank you.

I am not TI employee so I cannot speak or represent for TI. I am familiar with different Zigbee Stack such as TI, Silicon Labs, or NXP stack, and none of them share network part of source codes in public. Anyway, you can wait TI employee to clarify this. If TI is willing to do such, I will be very happy too.
