CC2530ZNP Mini Dev Kit - OAD/OTA update of End Devices possible?

Hi,

Very green user of the kit here but would like to know if its possible to change the application running on an End Device, over the air.

I would like to implement something where I have a range of sensors (light, heat, motion, etc) and if I received an alarm level on one, I could switch the other sensors to all sense that which triggered the alarm, in order to rule out a false positive.

We initially bought the kit to learn about programming the zigbee stack, but if we could do this with the kit then it would be a bonus. If its not possible, could someone possibly recommend something else that could do it, such as an Arduino kit, etc?

many thanks,

Neill

  • OAD can take awhile because the ZB packet size is fairly small but the firmware image is fairly large. The best thing to do would be to design the end-device to support all the sensors and then just switch between them in software. That's much faster and more reliable than OAD on demand.

    Best to limit OAD to when you're rolling out a new firmware version or something.

  • Thanks for your reply.

    Is it possible to control the 'Coordinator' device, that is connected to a PC via USB, from the PC side? For example, with AT commands?
