Some basic question regarding CC2530ZNP Zigbee

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2530

I am using the CC2530 ZNP but have a few questions:

Home automation. Suppose I have several home automation devices, but I want a central controller via ethernet. What is the usual approach for this. I want tne gateway to be the Zigbee coordinator as well. Should I just bind each device to the coordinator ?

If I want to be able to use this "gateway / controller " approach in combination with standard HA profile products, will this be possible ?

Is was wondering if there are any api call fro network discovery e.g. reading the routing tables form a device. I want to be able t create a hierachical network overview  but from the CC2530  API document it is not clear to me which commands are suitable to this. 

Thanks,

    So you will have  a big microprocessor that does your ethernet which you will connect via SPI or UART to the CC2530ZNP. This device will initialize the ZNP slave to be the network coordinator, ZC. Then you will basically just "crawl" the entire network topology by sending a sequence of NWK and/or IEEE Address request extended commands to learn of all of the routers and end devices.

    Ok that's clear, thanks.

    This rises me to another question. TI has now CCS which is becoming more mature. Why are all exmaples still with IAR, this usually involves porting of code.
    Is the intention of TI to continue with CCS ? 
    Any plans to provide eamples for CCS in the future ?
