ZigBee® USB dongle demonstration kit (STEVAL-IFS013V2)
1 Introduction
This document describes the hardware and software of the STMicroelectronics™ ZigBee
®
USB dongle
demonstration kit working under the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
98/2000/XP
operating systems.
The purpose of this design is to demonstrate the key features of STMicroelectronics ZigBee
PRO compliant wireless networking solutions. ZigBee PRO, the leading wireless control and
sensory network solution, stands apart from other RF solutions as the only standards-based
technology that:
■
Addresses the unique needs of remote monitoring and control, and sensory network
applications
■
Enables broad-based deployment of wireless mesh networks with low-cost, low-power
solutions
■
Provides the ability to run for years on inexpensive primary batteries for a typical
monitoring application.
This particular demonstration kit primarly offers USB interface operating either under USB
communication device class (CDC) for virtual COM port connectivity or under device
firmware upgrade (DFU) class for reprogramming an application through USB. All design
source data are coming together with the kit and are ready to be reused in next
development. Target applications are: ZigBee network analysis and control through your PC,
universal PC based ZigBee “sink” node, low cost PC based node for rapid start of ZigBee
technology evaluation.
