Z-Stack™ is compliant with both the ZigBee® 2007 (ZigBee PRO) and ZigBee® 2006 specification, supporting both ZigBee and ZigBee PRO feature sets on the MSP430+CC2520 and supporting ZigBee on the CC2430/31 System-on-Chip. Z-Stack™ supports the Smart Energy and Home Automation profiles.

Z-Stack™ notables include:

• A fully compliant ZigBee PRO feature set on the MSP+CC2520 platform
• A fully compliant ZigBee feature set on both the CC243x family of SoCs and an extensive family of MSP430 microcontrollers coupled with the latest best in class CC2520 transceiver
• A range of Sample Applications including support for the ZigBee Smart Energy and ZigBee Home Automation Profiles
• Hardware based location support using the state of the art CC2431 SoC
• Over the Air Download support on both the CC243x and MSP430 devices
• Incorporated support for the CC2591 (www.ti.com/cc2591) the latest RF Front end which support +20dBm transmit power and improved receive sensitivity

Z-Stack™ has been awarded the ZigBee Alliance's golden unit status for both ZigBee and ZigBee PRO and is used by thousands of ZigBee developers world wide.

Z-Stack is well suited for:

• Smart Energy (AMI)
• Home Automation
• Commercial Building Automation
• Medical, assisted living, or personal health and hospital care
• Monitoring and control applications
• Wireless sensor networks
• Alarm and security
• Asset tracking
• Applications where interoperability is required
• Applications that require a free world wide ISM band (2.4 GHz)

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-stackpackage 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. Sample application provides 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
• SETestApp: A demonstration of the ZigBee Smart Energy Profile
• SampleLight / SampleSwitch: A demonstration of Home Automation devices

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 the 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.
