Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2530, CC2500, CC2538

Hi

I am new to wireless technologies and TI developments. I am trying to create a setup with 2 or 3 wireless node sending the information to control unit ( another hardware) over wireless. Planning to use some wireless technologies like zigbee, BT LE, 6LoWPAN.

Could anybody suggest which development board i need to buy? Thinking of MSP430 wireless development kit . But not sure that supports zigbee, BT LE wireless technologies?

Thanks and Regards

CC2538DK(www.ti.com/.../cc2538dk) can be used for Zigbee and 6 LowPAN. For BLE, you can use CC2540DK(www.ti.com/.../cc2540dk).

Dear Chen
Thanks for your reply. Yes those boards would match my requirement. Can you please comment on EZ430-RF2500 evalution kit ? This kit supports 2.4GHz transceiver. But not sure I can use that for zigbee ot BTLE?

Which programming language is required to work on these boards / development environment?

Regards
Ganesh

If you want zigbee or BLE use CC2530/ CC2538/ CC254x kits. CC2500 does not support what you are looking for.
