CC2530ZDK-ZNP-MINI + Z-Stack

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK, CC2530, CC-DEBUGGER

Hello,

I have recently bought CC2530ZDK-ZNP-Mini development kit and I wonder if it is possible to flash installed CC2530 SoC with Z-Stack and develop an application (private profile) on CC2530 only... without MSP430. So CC2530 would work in ZAP configuration.

I would like to use MSP430 only as a debug interface... CC2530 will transfer data received from air to MSP430 and this will be displayed on the hyperterminal console. 

MSP430 would be also an interface for sensors reading but the decision when and what to read would be handled by CC2530. 

Could anyone tell me if it is possible? If yes then how to achieve that? 

 

  • Hello Lukasz, It should be possible to program the CC2530 on the ZNP Mini Kit Development kit with Z-Stack Code for CC2530 SoC, And then you can write your own code to communicate at the application layer both on MSP430 and CC2530 using the SPI interface for which the ZNP Mini Kit is designed. You can use the CC-Debugger for downloading the code on to the CC2530 on the ZNP Mini Kit, there is a header to connect the CC-Debugger on the ZNP Mini kit.

    You can get the CC2530 ZigBee Development Kit if you plan to develop your application on CC2530SoC alone for development. 

  • Lukasz,

    As Suyash Jain explained this is possible. I wish to add few additional points:

    1) Look at ZStack projects & take up appropriate project for you. There are few like HA, SE, etc.  Look at GenericApp & understand how to develop application on CC2530. SerialApp is also a good start.  This will help you develop your CC2530 Application.

    2) MSP530 & CC2530 may communicate thru SPI or UART.  Define the commands to be exchanged between these two and separate the logic according to your System needs.

    3) Look at the project  "Temperature Voltage Sensor" that runs on MSP430. This may be a starting point for you to develop the required Application on MSP430.

    Hope this clarifies few things for you.
