Product Information

Description

The CC2420MSP430ZDK is designed to deliver the most powerful elements for ZigBee® development in the market today. This two-chip solution is based on the well known CC2420 transceiver and the ultra low power MSP430FG4618 MCU. The unique combination of the C2420 and the MSP430 makes it possible to implement true low-power applications that can last on batteries for years.

The hardware included in the kit contains necessary support to evaluate, demonstrate, prototype and develop software targeting various ZigBee applications. The MSP430 Experimenters board provides the user with functionality such as LCD, capacitive touch-pad, push buttons, buzzer, prototyping space, RS232 communication interface, JTAG Programming Interfaces etc.

The CC2420MSP430ZDK is supported by IAR Embedded Workbench for MSP430, which is used with the TIMAC, the Z-stack and application examples.

30 day evaluation licenses for both the IAR C/C++ Compiler and C-SPY Debugger can be downloaded from www.iar.com. By contacting one of the IAR sales offices a 60-day extension of the license will be given to TI's ZigBee customers.

The CC2420MSP430ZDK is a very flexible kit that can be used to develop everything from simple light switches to advanced nodes with lots of peripherals.

30 day evaluation license for the Sensor Network Analyzer from Daintree available to new users.

More than a sniffer, the SNA is a comprehensive and powerful solution that takes you from development through to testing, commissioning and maintenance. It provides unique visualization capabilities that show all network devices and interactions simultaneously, and intuitive tools that simplify complex taks including multi-node captures and commissioning.

Important notice:

The kit is sold as separate parts to allow customers to easily add additional nodes. For a ZigBee network with two nodes please order:

You will also find the different parts by searching for CC2420MSP430ZDK in the TI e-store.

If additional nodes are needed they can be purchased separately. For two more nodes please order:

Packet sniffer

In order to use the Chipcon Packet sniffer software, a packet sniffer compliant hardware module is needed. The simplest solution is to purchase a CC2430 Demonstration Board.

The Chipcon Packet Sniffer software can be downloaded for free from the CC2430DB product page.

The packet sniffer also works with hardware included in CC2420(Z)DK, CC2430(Z)DK and CC2431(Z)DK

Sensor Network Analyzer from Daintree

In order to use the Daintree Sensor Network Analyzer (SNA) software, a packet sniffer compliant hardware module is needed. the SNA software works with hardware included in CC2420(Z)DK. CC2430(Z)DK, and CC2431(Z)DK.
