CC2630: Implement a ZigBee Mesh Network.

Part Number: CC2630

Hi.
I am interested in developing a ZigBee Mesh Network with thousand of sensors (End-Devices), but I had never worked with ZigBee. I bought the LAUNCHXL-CC2650 who have a multi-standard ultra-low power wireless MCU. I had read that the TI CC2630 is a specific chip to ZigBee, but I understand the LaunchPad kit also supports development for TI CC2630.

My questions are:
How can develop a ZigBee Mesh Network with some LAUNCHXL-CC2650 kits?
How I can configure some LAUNCHXL-CC2650 to be ZigBee Coordinator and ZigBee Router, and ZigBee End Devices and finally a ZigBee Gateway to upload sensor data to the Internet?

What is it the necessary software and tools I needed to start to with ZigBee with TI wireless MCU?

Thank any that can help me.

    Hi,

    The CC2630/50 platform can support Z-Stack Home Automation 1.2.2a, but only as an End Device node in stand-alone mode due to flash constraints. If you wish for a CC2650 Launchpad to act as a Coordinator, you will need to use this device in ZAP-ZNP mode, with the CC2650 as the ZNP Coordinator and a separate application processor (e.g. host PC, another MCU, etc) to act as the ZAP. You may refer to the Z-Stack documentation for more information about ZAP-ZNP architecture.

    Devices that support Coordinator and Router configuration in stand-alone mode include the CC2530, CC2531, and CC2538.

    When you want to build Z-Stack end devices or ZNP for CC2630, you will need IAR EWARM as IDE.
