Part Number: CC2530
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200, , Z-STACK, CC-DEBUGGER

Hi 

I'm working on application that require an RF zigbee module I bought ZigBee Module (WE1005) it's based on CC2530 manufactured by RF star.I want to integrate the module with CC3200 .
Any one could help me to know How can I program this module and what king of communication protocol I should use with this module so I can send and receive the data by CC3200 SoC ?

Sorry I'm totally novice with this module

    Eslam,

    I see you're looking for a Wifi + Zigbee coexistence solution. Unfortunately, we do not support this currently for our Zigbee devices, especially not with a legacy device such as a CC2530.

    We do have a Sensor-to-Cloud solution reference design which you can look at which uses a BeagleBone connected with a Zigbee device which communicates serially over UART via the ZNP Z-Stack project. You can find more information regarding this here:

    No I don't need wifi + Zigbee I just wanted to receive and send the data in any serial protocol (uart,spi,i2c) between CC3200 & CC2530 which has on board RF antenna so the receiver can receive and send the data over RF

    What is your ultimate goal with using these two different chips? The CC2530 is a chip designed for the Zigbee communication protocol. It is a legacy chip which has an extremely limited amount of flash capability which I'm not sure would be suitable for what you're wanting to do.

    EDIT: Some additional answers which may help you along your way... You should be able to program the CC2530 with using a CC-DEBUGGER. The communication protocol for the CC2530 is Zigbee using Z-Stack, probably Z-Stack 3.0.2 if you're going to program using the newest SDK.

    I would recommend looking at the ZNP application and refer to the MT API located inside the SDK documentation.

    Best,

    Sean

    I suppose you can run ZNP FW now your CC2530 module and run ZAP on your CC3200 to setup Zigbee network. You can download and install Z-Stack 3.0.2 and read Z-Stack ZNP interface and Z-Stack Monitor and Test Command inside installed Z-Stack document folder.

    well , I was searching for RF module where I can transfer the data between 20 devices and I found this module is the most suitable one .I am totally novice with zigbee and CC2530
    The data package consists of 4 frames each frame is one byte
    The same data should be sent from one device to all devices and other data between one to one device
    the decision is token by CC3200 then transferring the data to CC2530 by serial wire then CC2530 should do the decision token by cc3200 .
    this is the app I am working on it

    Yes, that’s exactly what my suggestion can do.
