Router example for KW40Z/KW20Z

kedarikrishna — Thu, 04 Feb 2016 17:05:08 GMT

After so many choices we arrived at KW40Z/KW20Z for our product. When started development, we found that there are example projects for Coordinator and end device but not router.

As we are having product feature requirement of designing mesh network where device form mesh network .

So we are expecting any suggestion, discussion or help to achieve the same (Zigbee Mesh network with KW40Z/KW20Z).

Hello Kedari Krishna,

Could you please specify what coordinator and end device examples you found?

Best regards,

Earl Ramírez.

Hello.

The KW40Z/KW20Z codebases do not include ZigBee stack support. They only have IEEE 802.15.4 MAC/PHY libraries.

Since KW40Z/KW20Z is an ARM Cortex M0+ based wireless microcontroller, you could explore leveraging the ZigBee libraries from the Kinetis BeeStack ZigBee Protocol Stack package for the MCR20A wireless transceiver and the KL46Z microcontroller (also Cortex M0+). The IEEE 802.15.4 MAC has a common API for the two hardware solutions.

The MCR20A/KL46Z Kinetis ZigBee Protocol Stack software package can be downloaded from: https://www.nxp.com/webapp/Download?colCode=KINETIS-BEESTACK&appType=license&location=null&fpsp=1&WT_TYPE=Protocol%20Stacks&WT_VENDOR=FREESCALE&WT_FILE_FORMAT=exe&WT_ASSET=Downloads&fileExt=.exe&Parent_nodeId=1425322332576706617013&Parent_pageType=product http://www.nxp.com/products/interface-and-connectivity/wireless-connectivity/2.4-ghz-wireless-solutions/ieee-802.15.4-plus-zigbee-thread/2.4-ghz-802.15.4-wireless-transceiver:MCR20A?fpsp=1&tab=Design_Tools_Tab
