2. Definitions
Location Dongle:
Network coordinator connected to
a PC with
RS232 serial cable
. Use SmartRF04EB
with CC2430EM or CC2431EM programmed as
Network coordinator for location dongle. Use hex file
LocDongle_EB.hex
Reference nodes
: Network nodes with known
location. Use SOC_BB (Battery board) with
CC2431EM or CC2430EM programmed as ZigBee
routers for reference nodes. Use hex file
RefNode_BB.hex
Blind nodes:
Network nodes that calculates it
position based on coordinates from the reference
nodes. Use SOC_BB (Battery board) with
CC2431EM programmed as ZigBee routers for blind
nodes. Use hex file
BlindNode_BB.hex
All EM modules must be placed in the SmartRF04EB
for programming hex files. Both the USB cable and
RS232 cable must be plugged to the board to allow
programming and running the Z-location engine PC
software.

Two Jumpers should be mounted on
P4:
o
P1.0 <-> LED
o
P0-1 <-> PUSH
4. Installing
software
Download following SW:
-
Z-location Engine PC SW
from the CC2431DK product page on the TI web site:
http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/cc2431dk.htm
l
Extract and install the program on the development PC
Hex files are included for both ZigBee nodes and TIMAC
nodes with the Z-location engine SW at:
C:\Program
Files\Chipcon\Z-Location Engine\
Explanation to the hex file names:
-
MAC in the file name means TIMAC files
-
ZC in the file name means ZigBee Coordinator
-
ZR in the file name means ZigBee Router
-
EB in the file name means SmartRF04EB
-
BB in the file name means Battery Board
At the end of the hex file name there is a version number
that links to the TIMAC and Z-stack version.
5. Program EM in EB
It is recommended to plug the EM modules into the
SmartRF04EB board for programming
•
Insert one CC2430/31EM into one of the
SmartRF04EB boards
•
Connect the USB
and
RS232 cables to a PC,
the board is powered from the USB port
o
The USB connection is used for
programming and power to the board
o
The RS232 is used for serial
communication between the Z-
location PC SW and the location
dongle
•
Turn on the main power switch
•
The connector mating is locked to only one
position; hence EM cannot be inserted the
wrong way. Do not force the EM
6. Programming
location
dongle
•
Start the Z-location SW
•
If the SmartRF04EB is connected with
USB port to the PC, the board should
show up in the device list
•
Click
the
Setup
tab
•
Read the IEEE address to confirm it is
any value except all FF
•
Locate the LocDongle hex file at:
C:\Program Files\Chipcon\Z-
Location Engine\
•
Click
Load FW
to program the
Location Dongle
hex file on one
