CC2530ZNP Mini Kit Quick Start Guide

STEP 1 – Introduction

This guide describes how to set up a CC2530 ZigBee® Network Processor (ZNP)

development kit using the preprogrammed devices of the CC2530ZNP Mini Kit.

The ZigBee Network Processor development kit is designed to give a simple

introduction to ZigBee wireless networks. The hardware consists of a CC2530

ZigBee device preprogrammed with ZigBee software and an MSP430F2274

microcontroller that controls the ZigBee device.

The development kit demonstrates examples of typical sensor networks with

temperature, light, voltage, and movement sensors.

The target board connected to the USB stick is programmed with a coordinator

sample application. The coordinator sets up the network and configures the ZigBee

network parameters. A ZigBee system can only have one coordinator.

The battery powered sensors are end-devices that periodically report their key

data to the coordinator. The devices can also be programmed as routers. Routers are typically used to extend the

ZigBee network since they can route messages from other devices. Note that hardware for all the target boards is

identical. Each of the boards can be programmed to be coordinator, router, or end-device.

STEP 2 – Install the sample software and connect the USB stick

Download the CC2530ZNP example software from

http://www.ti.com/cc2530znp

Double-click the installer file to install the example software package and drivers.

After installation the default location for the sample software is

C:\Texas Instruments\CC2530ZNP Mini Kit

Connect the USB stick to a USB port on the PC. The Windows new device driver will

request a new device driver to be installed. Normally the driver should be detected

automatically. If the driver is not detected it can be found at the default location:

C:\Texas Instruments\CC2530ZNP Mini Kit\Drivers

After installation a new COM port will be installed on the PC. To see

the COM port number, open the Windows Control panel – System

– Hardware – Device Manager and check the COM port number

under Ports (COM and LPT).

The USB stick serves both as a virtual serial port interface and as debugger/programmer. This means that during normal

operation the USB stick should be connected to the coordinator target board. The USB stick can also be used to

program and debug the end-device target boards using the IAR Embedded Workbench.

STEP 3 – Start the network

The ZigBee coordinator on the USB stick connects to the PC using a virtual USB serial port.

The serial port interface can be accessed through a terminal program. The Windows default

terminal interface can be found on the Windows Start menu - Accessories-

Communication – Hyperterminal.

After starting HyperTerminal, give a name to the connection and select the COM port used by

the USB stick. In the COM port properties, select 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit,

no flow control

Push the button on the target board to display the status

window of the network after the terminal has connected.

Information about the ZNP and device is displayed. The

coordinator is now ready to connect to other devices on

the network. For more information about the message

format, please see the Simple Application wiki page:

Jumper When the end-device sends information to the coordinator, an RX-message will appear in the terminal. The green LED on the end-devices will blink when they are sending a message. If the end device loses connection to the coordinator the green LED will be on constantly.
