ARM 7 based Zigbee
radio module and development kit
FreeStar Pro from California Eastern Laboratories (CEL)
is a 32-bit ARM7 ZigBee radio module with development kit.
Based on the Freescale MC13224V 802.15.4 Platform-in-Package
(PiP), the FreeStar Pro combines extensive processing capability
with expansive on-chip memory and extremely low power consumption.
The FreeStar Pro module offers an advantage to designers
to eliminate the external host processors.
The kit includes three individual evaluation boards with
mounted FreeStar Pro modules, plus all the peripheral accessories
necessary to simulate a point-to-point, point-to-multipoint,
or mesh network. Also included is Freescale's BeeKit wireless
connectivity software. BeeKit provides developers an easy-to-use
graphical user interface, plus a comprehensive code base
of networking libraries, application samples, and templates.
These code libraries enable development of applications
in ZigBee and ZigBee PRO, as well as Simple MAC (SMAC) and
IEEE 802.15.4. Developers already using BeeKit can easily
port existing designs to the FreeStar Pro platform.
FreeStar Pro evaluation kits include a quick-start software
package developed by LS Research, CEL's ZigBee design and
development partner. This software allows system designers
to quickly set up and configure a network, then run tests
for range and packet error rates.
