Part Number: CC2630
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK, CC2530, CC2538

Hello,

i have few doubts regarding Z-stack1.2.2a-

1) does it supports mesh network.?

2) does it support cc2630 as co-ordinator,router,end device?

3) does is uses the same linux gateway i.e. Linux HA Gateway?

4) can we use cc2630 as znp with BBB? 

5) is it possible to do communication between z-stack3.0 and z-stack1.2.2a(for example-cc2538/30 with z-stack 3.0 and cc2630 with z-stack 1.2.2.a)

The reason why i m interested in cc2630 because its low power and so suitable for battery powered devices.

kindly share your opinion for my application.

Regards

DC

    1. Yes, Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a is designed to work with the ZigBee PRO 2007 specification and the ZigBee Home Automation profile, so any features defined by those specifications are supported by Z-Stack.

    2. A CC26x0 device can only support the End Device configuration in stand-alone operation mode when running a full application like SampleSwitch, this is due to flash limitations. It can, however, be used as a network processor (i.e., ZNP) in Coordinator, Router, or End Device mode.

    3. Yes, you may use this device with the Z-Stack Linux Gateway. It will not work with the out-of-box configuration, but there are changes you can make to the gateway to make it compatible.

    4. Yes, see above.

    5. Z-Stack 3.0 devices are designed to be both forwards and backwards compatible with Z-Stack 1.2.2a devices. This is to say, for instance, a Z-Stack 3.0 coordinator can be configured to allow Z-Stack 1.2.2a end devices to join its network, and a Z-Stack 3.0 end device can be configured to join a Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a coordinator.

    Hi jasonB,
    thanks for the Response.

    as far as i understand - the best possible combination for my application is like -
    1) use z-stack 3.0 devices as coordinator(2530/2538) and router(cc2530/2538) and z-stack 1.2.2a devices as end device(cc2630/2650).
    is it sounds ok??

    Yes, that would be fine. Keep in mind that if you are designing a product which you intend to certify through the Zigbee alliance, Zigbee Home Automation devices can no longer go through product certification, only Zigbee 3.0 devices. If you are designing a proprietary setup then this shouldn't be an issue.

    since in my application ..network is going to be very large more then 250 nodes ...to handle such large network which soc will be better suitable among cc2530/cc2538 for
    1) coordinator/znp
    2)router
    considering compatibility with 6LoWPAN.

    I would suggest you to use CC2538.
