CC2531: ZNP API

Part Number: CC2531
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

Hi.

I'm want to use USB dondle based on CC2531 with ZNP firmware and create a PC software that will use ZNP API to manage the network using this dondle.

I can't find any API documentation or tutorials on how to work with ZNP, how to send commands and get response.

I would highly appreciate any reference.

You can refer to Z-Stack ZNP Interface Specification.pdf and Z-Stack Monitor and Test API.pdf under Z-Stack document folder.

I guess Z-Tool uses the same API to communicate with Zigbee device? If so then is there any C library or SDK available to use?

Thank you for your quick reply.
Regarding Portable ZigBee Plug-In Software Framework for any OS. I've downloaded GZ package from it's Web page and there is only one file in it "tidc863" and I have no clue on what to do with it and no Users Guide on how to install and apply.

This document contains information on "Running the ZNP Host Framework on Linux" and "Running the ZNP Host Framework on TI-RTOS". The framework is called "Plug-In Software Framework for any OS" so I expected that I could add a reference to some library in Visual Studio, open RS232 and call library functions to manage the ZNP (connected to PC). Is this possible with this framework?

There is POSIX example in the package so I think it should be no problem.

Sorry, but I can't find any "POSIX" folder or dll in the directory structure from here "git.ti.com/.../znp-host-framework". Can you please tell me which folder it is and which file?

I mean all those examples are POSIX example so you should be able to use those source and header files to run on any host MCU.
