Hi,
Although I may not be able to reply to all your questions, the following information may be of assistance to you:
All of Freescale's development boards are programmable and capable of running as an end device (reduced function device) and a coordinator (full function device).
The issue right now is that the ZigBee Stack (BeeStack) will not be released until February. You can download the BeeKit from the Freescale website and use the 802.15.4 to setup a network
Regards,
Nina
