CC1352R: MULTIPROTOCOL: Zigbee and 6LowPAN

Part Number: CC1352R
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

Is it possible to have Zigbee stack and 6LowPAN stack both reside in CC1352R and the user can switch between them by means of hardware (like a change in a GPIO pin). i found Z-stack for Zigbee but couldnt find any such stack for 6LowPAN. If it's possible, please guide me how.

I don't think this is feasible.

It is technically feasible, but we don't support that kind of setup. One could image running ZigBee+Thread, where one stack is the sleepy end device and the other is a router device, or vice versa. But again, nothing that we support now.

That also begs the question on why you would want such a setup? Both ZigBee and all (to my knowledge) 6LoWPAN stacks are mesh technologies. Why would you want to mesh stacks running on the same device?

we need to design a RF daughter board that is to be installed in our product and our customer requirement is that they need both connectivity, from which they could choose which technology is to be used.

1.the device supports both stack. right?

2.does Z-stack work on this chip?

3.does Contiki 6LowPAN work on this device?

4.i could'nt find a stack for 6LowPAN like Z-stack from TI. Is there one? If yes, please enlighten me...

TI supports two 6LoWPAN stacks: Thread and Contiki-NG. The CC1352R does support both Z-stack, Thread and Contiki-NG.
