ZAP codebase for CC2530?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5529, CC2530, Z-STACK, MSP430F5438, MSP430F2274

 

Is it suppose to be the one for the mini ZNP or the more complex one under the ZAP MSP430 2.5 one?

 

I see the caveat for the mini ZNP kit is that it is not intended to be a ZigBee reference kit.

What are the main differences between the mini ZNP examples and the larger  ZAP MSP430?

What are the pros and cons of using the ZNP mini kit code examples instead of the ZAP ones?

 

We are in the middle of a porting using the ZAP + ZNP model using a MSP430F5529 and anyway to expedite the process with an easier road would be great.

    Hello Silva,

    The difference between the ZNP Mini Kit image used on the CC2530 and the other ZNP images distributed with ZAP for CC2530 release is how the ZNP communicates with the application processor (either SPI (and which SPI port on CC2530) or UART). The interface is explained in the ZNP Interface specification document section 2.

    So the difference in ZNP Mini kit and ZAP based applications comes from how the applications are developed on the application processors. ZAP is Zigbee Application Processor Framework designed so that developers can write Sophisticated Zigbee Applications ex – Smart Energy, Home Automation, or sophisticated Private profile based applications. Please refer to the document which explains the ZAP Architecture (based on OSAL) here.

    ZNP Mini Kit has MSP430F2274 as application processor, whose memory limitations limit its use to develop only the Private profile based small Zigbee Applications which can fit within memory limitations of MSP430F2274. While for Public profile based ZigBee Network Implementation or even for complex or larger footprint ZigBee Applications application processor with more memory is required ex- MSP430F5438. Also, the ZNP Mini Kit Sample Application examples have been written to bring designers quickly up to speed on the Zigbee, ZNP and Z-Stack concepts. And then for simple applications they can use the Mini Kit and for complex/bigger applications move to ZAP framework.
