Z-Stack™ v.1.4.1 From the Web
Free-of-Charge
Jumpstart your ZigBee development with TI’s newest versions
of the Z-Stack!
Z-Stack is compliant with the ZigBee 2006 specification and
supports multiple platforms, including the CC2430 system-on-chip
and CC2420 + MSP430 platform.
Z-Stack also supports CC2431, which enables you to create
ZigBee applications that can change behavior based on the
node’s current network location. Visit the TI website
to download the software in object code free-of-charge.
Z-Stack—ZigBee
Protocol Stack
In
conjunction with the Z-Stack release, TI is also reintroducing
the company’s ZigBee Development Kits. The price of
the development kit has been reduced to enable more designers
to evaluate TI’s ZigBee solution. For more information,
