CC2480 & IAR or CCE or CodeVision

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

Hi

I found the discussion on Keil versus IAR very interesting. I am using CC2480 for my project. I am familiar with AVR and CodeVision compiler. I am using CCS for DSP. I need advise/feedback on the flexibility and cost benefits of using any particular compiler/MCU combination for my project. If I decide to use MSP430 then is it better to go for IAR or CCE. With AVR I would prefer to use CodeVision.

Also can the CC2480 operate as a standalone device. It has GPIO/ADC and if I want to use these featurers why do I have to use another MCU. It would be better if I just send the command (ON/OFF) to CC2480 over the air and it should toggle the respective IO. There will be cost benefit [cost of MCU removed] if its just operating as an end device.

Regards

    Hi Vdevan,

    The C2480 sample code is provide as source code, so it can be ported to any compiler of choice.

     Yes, it is possible to implement an application that can control the GPIO/ADC interface remotel. However, you will need a host microcontroller to control CC2480 and provide the necessary commands.

    Hi LPRF

    Thanks for the info. I am working through the examples now. Can you clarify this for me. CC2480 is preloaded with the Z-stack? Is it possible to completely build my application using the CC2480 APIs [Full Ztack or Simple API - SWRA175A]. I will have 1 coordinator, 3 routers and 4 end devices in my system.

    Regards
