CC2530: Starting a new design with C2530 for Zigbee 2.4Ghz

Part Number: CC2530
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2652R, CC1352P, Z-STACK, CC2531, CC2538

Team,

Can you confirm that it is ok to start a new design with CC2530 for Zigbee?

The idea is to use:
-a fully qualified HW module (like Ebyte E18-MS1-PCB)
        Do we have other partners that provide such HW module?
-Develop the SW for the module based on TI Zigbee stack.
        Can the Zigbee Z-STACK-3.0 to Z-STACK-3.0.2 be use with any type of MCU (TI, NXP, Renesas  with ARM and no-ARM CPU)?

Thanks in advance!

A.

    For now, Zigbee standard moves to Zigbee 3.0 and I would suggest you to use CC2652R instead of CC2530.

    Hi,

    Agreed with YK, I would recommend using CC2652 for Zigbee only solutions, and CC1352P for potential DMM use cases (e.g. Zigbee + BLE, etc).

    While it is ok to start a new design with CC2530, please be aware of the constraints:

    • Newer Zigbee PRO revision is coming up, which will have more features which require larger RAM. It's recommended (for future proofing) to use CC2652/CC1352 since they have more RAM.
    • Z-Stack 3.0.2 is last release for CC253x devices. Development/testing resources are primarily given to CC1352/CC2652.

    Consider this video for another major module vendor: https://training.ti.com/connect-zigbee-modules-feibit-technologies?context=1136411-1139460-1137880

    Z-Stack 3.0.2 supports CC2530/CC2531 and CC2538, which are 8051 and ARM, respectively.
    If you configure these devices as Zigbee Network Processor (ZNP), then any host MCU may be used to control the ZNP, as long as it satisfies requirements of the serial interface (as documented in <Z-Stack 3.0.2>/Documents/API).
