1 Introduction

This document provides a detailed description of how to

navigate through the Zigbee/802.15.4 application

Evaluation Kit (EVK) package.

The EVK package contains two evaluation printed

circuit boards (PCBs).

• DIG-528-2 EVK board

• DIG-536-2 ARD board

The boards are delivered with a pre-uploaded

demonstration application. More demonstration

applications can be uploaded with the delivered PC-tool

which allows users to evaluate different application

scenarios with the Freescale Zigbee/802.15.4 software

solution. The delivered demonstration applications are

PCB dependent, which means that a particular

demonstration application designed for DIG-528-2 will

not run on the DIG-536-2 SARD and vice versa.

Demonstration Applications for the DIG-528-2 EVK

include, but are not limited to:

• PTC Demonstration (See AN2771/D for details.)

Safety Information • Switch Demonstration (See AN2773/D for details.) Demonstration Applications for the DIG-536-2 SARD include but are not limited to: • Accelerometer (See AN2762/D and AN 2774/D for details.) The Switch demonstration application is available with full source code which shows how to use some of the Zigbee/802.15.4 features and some of the main system features. This will show users how to interface to the 802.15.

Printed Circuit Board Overview 5 Printed Circuit Board Overview As already stated, the EVK package contains two PCBs. The DIG-528-2 EVK board and the DIG-536-2 ARD board. This section highlights the hardware on both PCBs. 5.1 DIG-528-2 Board The DIG-528-2 contains the following interfaces and hardware. • One USB port • An RS232 UART communication interface • Four push buttons • One reset button • Four LEDs • One power switch • One F-antenna (Refer to AN2731 for more information.

Printed Circuit Board Overview 5.2 DIG-536-2 Board The DIG-536-2 has the following hardware and interface components: • An RS232 UART communication interface • Four push buttons • One reset button • Four LEDs • One power switch • A dipole antenna (Refer to AN2731 for more information.) • The board contains an X-, Y-, and Z-axis accelerometer. The accelerometers can be disabled by removing jumper J105 • Powered by an external power adaptor Figure 2.

Demonstration Applications 6 Demonstration Applications The EVK package contains a CD with several different demonstration applications that highlight various features of the 802.15.4 standard. These applications are for evaluation purpose only. This section provides an overview of the delivered demonstration applications. 6.1 DIG-528-2 Demonstration Applications The demonstration applications for the DIG-528-2 PCB use version 1.03 of the MAC and PHY layer.

Demonstration Applications 6.1.2 Switch Demonstration Application The Switch Demonstration application highlights several required features a true 802.15.4 application. It is built on version 1.03 of the MAC and PHY layer. This application requires two PCBs with the Switch Demonstration application already loaded. All the source code for this application is located on the CD. Reference to the Switch Demonstration Application Note, AN2773 for more details.
PAGE 8
Demonstration Applications 6.2 DIG-536-2 Demonstration Applications The demonstrating applications that run on the DIG-536-2 PCB use version 1.00 of the Simple Media Access Controller (SMAC). Refer to the SMAC Reference Manual, SMCRM/D for more details. The SMAC is a smaller and less complex implementation of the 802.15.04 MAC/PHY layer. There is no network layer in this application. All applications use the Freescale Embedded Bootloader for simplified firmware updates.

Demonstration Applications 8. If led D104 is blinking repeatedly then the board is in Transmit mode. If led D104 is not blinking, then set switch S106 again. If the LED is still not blinking, repeat the previous step. 9. Verify that both boards are communicating correctly by checking the receiver board to verify if led D103 is blinking repeatedly. If led D103 is not blinking, then press switch S106 turn.
