    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.
Availability
FreeStar Pro modules and development kits are available now from CEL
