ZigBee Wi-Fi Gateway Design using CC2538 + CC3200/CC3100

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2538, Z-STACK, CC2531, CC3100, CC3200

Hi,
I'm desiging a WSN using CC2538 as ZigBee nodes
and I wanna to design ZigBee - Ethernet Gateway to connect the nodes to the internet
something like this

http://www.zigbeegate.com/

based on Z-Stack

The problem is the gateway implementation requires Linux to run the zigbee gateway stack running on Beaglebone Board + CC2531 USB Packet Sniffer
I wanna to implement such solution without using embedded linux boards.

Just I wanna to use cc2538 + cc3100/c3200 to implement Zigbee -Wifi Gateway
or using some ethernet module interfaces with cc2538 to implement Zigbee-Ethernet gateway

can you help me or guide me for implementing that design ?

thanks

There is no existing reference design for CC2538-CC3xxx but It is no problem to do such prototype. You can connect CC2538 to CC3100 or CC3200 by SPI or UART interface.

Also can we use the Reference Design of Home Automation Gateway using BBB + CC2531 USB packe Sniffer
to control and monitor the CC2538 ZigBee nodes through the internet
Also is it possible to connect the Gateway to Cloud Platform for Data aggregation for monitoring and controlling the whole ZigBee Network ?

It is no problem for both cases.

So ,
Can we use the BBB ZigBee Gateway with its running ZigBee Gateway Stack as MQTT Client and HTTP Client

In order to Interact with different cloud platforms

or there is a limitation here ?

MQTT Client

From my point of view, there is no limit.

Hi YiKai, what Zigbee stack would be suitable for the TI CC3200-CC2538 Zigbee gateway? The zigbee gateway stack implies it is for Linux-is there an alternative for an the embedded option instead?

Thank you

You can use ZNP host framework at www.ti.com/.../TIDC-ZNP-HOST-SW3 .However, it doesn't run Zigbee HA profile by default. If you have to use Zigbee profile, you have to revise it by yourself.
