Zstack for AM335

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2530, CC2520

Hi, 

Does anyone know if the Zstack can be ported from the MSP430 to the AM335? Do you have the Zstack available for the AM335?

Regards,

Richard

    If you are usinf AM335, the suggestion would be using it as ZAP and CC2530 as ZNP. Leave ZStack to CC2530.

    Hi YiKai,

          I am using CC2520 with an MSP430. However, I would like to avoid the MSP430 if I can and run the Zstack directly on the AM335. Is that a workable solution?

    Regards,

    Richard

    As I know, there is no ZStack on AM335 and TI does not have any plan on it.

    I would not recommend running the entire ZStack in Linux (with CC2520), due to critical timing requirements in the MAC. It is possible to create a Linux HAL in ZAP. However the architecture and especially OSAL do not lend its self to running in the Linux OS. The ZStack tasks are not garunteed to work in a preemptive scheduler, which means the OSAL needs to run inside a Linux process. TI does not plan to support such a product.

    Depending on your use case the brlow wiki maybe useful. It runs the entire ZStack on the CC2530 with UART interface to the host and includes Linux Host SW as well as Android and Cloud interface examples. It support Lighting and some Home Automation use cases on AM335x:
