ZStack Linux Gateway vs MSP430 ZAP/ZNP Code

Sanjay52975

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2530, CC2531, Z-STACK

We are developing a Zigbee Pro based HA system based on RPi and CC2530. We are using ZAP/ZAP architecture to create a ZC (Zigbee controller) using a Arm based non-BBB Linux board. We have currently selected RPi.

Based on - architecture, time-to-market, long term products support which one is a better option?

Zigbee Linux Gateway
Port of MSP430 ZAP code to Linux non-BBB Arm board.

We need to support OTA, ZC functionality with 3rd party ZR and proprietary ZED device with a private profile.

Issue with 1 is porting and supporting gateway code to Raspberry Pi. Issue with 2 one time porting but using OSAL/HAL like API i.e. non-Linux like interfaces.

We would like to hear from people with experience with one or both of above ZAP/ZNP architectures. Also would appreciate experience with porting Zigbee Linux Gateway to another Linux platform.

Hi Sanjay,

TI Z-Stack Linux Gateway is specifically designed for Home Automation 1.2 profile . All servers run on Linux Host ( Beaglebone) and the CC2531 dongle is used as Zigbee Network Processor. It supports OTA and it also supports raw ZCL commands with private cluster ids. Please refer to the users guide and API document for Z-Stack Linux Gateway for more details :http://www.ti.com/tool/z-stack . To port it to non BB platform running Linux will need some work, but not whole lot - mainly recompiling the code and adjusting GPIO settings as per board layout. We only provide server binaries for Gateway - In case you are interested in Gateway source code, please contact local TI sales representative. Porting ZAP from MSP to another platform running OS is technically doable but since we already have HA Gateway offering on Linux, i don't see the need for this undertaking.

Hello there,
have you found some solution to run a Gateway on Raspberry PI?

Thanks in advance

You will have to port to RPI. The code is relatively straight forward to port for BB to Rpi. It took me about a week to do this work. The source is very well written hence easy to port. We have enhanced it a lot so I do not have just the ported version.

Thank you very much for your fast answer! !!! Can you tell me in a few words how to port to RPI. Can I just use the GCC-Compiler on RPI?!

Thanks in advance
