By registering, we will be able to notify you of updates when they become available and provide instructions on how to perform the update.

Important Notice:

Z-Stack can be downloaded in two formats: a "core" stack installer or a "full" stack installer. The "core" installer is targeted to experienced Z-Stack users who only need updated library and source files. The "full" installer is intended for users who would like additional application examples.

The Z-stack package contains project files, libraries, source, and documentation needed to build a simple "demo" application (e.g. SampleApp), as well as, to develop full-featured ZigBee applications.

The Z-Stack & Applications Examples package contains all the above and in addition the project files, libraries, source, and documentation needed to build several simple sample applications. The available sample applications include:

• GenericApp: A simple proprietary application example to get you started
• SampleApp: A simple proprietary application example to get you started
• TransmitApp: A packet throughput test application
• SE Sample App: A demonstration of the ZigBee Smart Energy Profile
• SampleLight / SampleSwitch: A demonstration of Home Automation devices
• Over Air Download: A simple proprietary application to demonstrate the over the air download feature

This package also provides the latest version of Z-Tool, which is used for serial communication with Z-Stack applications. Application examples 1.2.1 for the CC2430 now support Over the Air Download (OAD).

TI supports Daintree's Sensor Network Analyzer to be used as a packet sniffer for monitoring network traffic an application debugging.

Please read the "Z-Stack User's Guide" before you start using the software.

Compatibility Issues

IAR Workbench:

Z-Stack is developed and tested using compilers from IAR (www.iar.com). If you have purchased a ZigBee kit from TI you are entitled to 30 additional days for evaluation. If you have a full license you can download the latest and previous versions from www.iar.com by logging into the "my pages" section. Please contact your local IAR office for further details.

• CC2530: IAR EW8051 7.51A
• CC2520+MSP: IAR EW MSP 4.20
• CC2420+MSP: IAR EW MSP 4.10A
• CC2430/31: IAR EW 8051 version 7.30B

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

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 the CC2520DK, CC2530DK, CC2430(Z)DK, and CC2431(Z)DK.
