LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1: What's the differences between ZNP and Zigbee home automation?

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

HI TI team,

I knew the current Z-stack already include the ZNP and Zigbee Home Automation.

Could I know what's the differences between both? commissioning? or using scenarios? 

Thanks

    ZNP means Zigbee netwrok processor which is a FW running on CC253x or CC26xx which needs another MCU to act as ZAP (Zigbee application processor) to run different Zigbee application on it. Zigbee Home Automation is an applicaton profile that can run on ZAP. Or, if you run CC253x and CC26xx in SOC mode, Zigbee Home Automation can run on SOC directly.

    Hi YK,
    It means the ZNP only deal with the Zigbee network part and it do not deal with the ZAP. Right?

    Another question:
    A PCB with the chip of CC253x or CC26xx that run the ZNP and another MCU to act as ZAP. And another PCB with the chip that I run the Zigbee Home Automation on SOC. Do both PCB can communicate with Zigbee or the chip with Zigbee Home Automation just only communicate with another chip with Zigbee Home Automation?
    Thanks

    Yes, ZNP only deals with the Zigbee network part and it does not deal with application part. If you run the same Zigbee profile on SOC and ZAP-ZNP mode, it's no problem for them to communicate with each other.
