Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK, , CC1350, CC2650, CC2652P
I have downloaded CCS 10 and 11 and it does not support/find that chip.
I did download Smart RF7 and it does find the chip but I don't see any IDE as I understand it.

Hi Paul,
Z-Stack 3.0.2 was tested and developed with IAR EW8051 v10.20.1, and I assume other software solutions have similar support. CCS does not support 8051-core devices.

TI does not provide an IDE which supports software development of the CC2530. Please consider the CC2652R device, LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1 development board, and SIMPLELINK-CC13XX-CC26XX-SDK software for use with CCS 11. More information is provided on TIREx.

I had half a dozen or so laying around, finally got around to power them up. Long story. No big deal, just now I know. :-)
I was wondering if PlatformIO had anything and they did not. I saw some videos using SDCC but it is not worth my time for something that goes away.
That might be thread drift, but someone mentioned they support TI CC13x0. Does that support Zigbee? I would like to do some Zigbee2MQTT projects.
As you can tell, I have not searched for it yet, but I am curious.
SDCC can compile code for CC2530 but TI Z-Stack examples can only be built by IAR. Basically, only CC1350 can support Zigbee but it’s not recommended for new Zigbee design. Anyway, it’s recommended to use CC26x2 for new design.
Done a little looking around and I would appreciate it if you could either confirm or dispel my assumptions.
Looking at EBYTE 72 with CC2652, I see it has a serial, is that how the firmware is loaded? and/or does it use the same setup as the CC2530?
For CC2652 chip, you should use XDS110 debugger and Jtag interface to download firmware.
So the old Smart RF04EB will not work? As you can guess, I am talking about a hobbyist here. I just wanted to mess with Zigbee as I did with ESP chips.
The Zigbee2MQTT project lists several SimpleLink CC1352/CC2652 supported adapters, any of which can be programmed with an XDS110 either from a LaunchPad or standalone debug probe. The SMARTRF04EB is not an option as it can only program 8051 cores, not ARM-based devices. The CC1350 is not viable as it only hostsa Sub-1 GHz radio, and the CC2650 is not recommended for new Zigbee designs

Mentioning Zigbee2MQTT might have created the wrong context. I want to create a Zigbee program, so I am looking for the toolchain to do that.
Looks like the main deciding factor is 8051 vs ARM. Flashing the 8051 is no big deal. In fact, I have bought the new Sonoff version that has CC2652P. I was able to fash it with the RF Smart version 2. But that was with a pre-built hex file. That was able to do it over the USB serial. I was looking at the EBYTE 72 and it shows a serial UART, That is why I was thinking you could do it serially. The Sonoff must have had more circuitry to pull it off.
As mentioned, I am wanting to write, compile my own code. From what I have read the avr software is not only expensive, they will not sell to the hobbyist. So that rules out the 8051 styles.
CC26xx chip supports serial bootloader which you can refer to www.ti.com/.../swra466d.pdf
Thank you. If I need to start a new thread let me know. I am new and not sure what the etiquette is.
Any good suggestion on tool chain (editor->hex) ?
