3.2. Target Development System Requirements
Z-Stack provides a complementary offering to the IAR Embedded Workbench (EW8051) suite
of software development tools. These tools support project management, compiling, assembling,
linking, downloading, and debugging for various 8051-based processors, including the Chipcon
CC243x family. The following is required support for the Z-Stack target development system:
•
IAR EW8051 (

)
4. Product Installation Procedures
4.1. Install Z-Stack Package
Install the Texas Instruments Z-Stack files and programs from the downloaded package. Run the
windows-based installation program,
ZStack-CC2430-1.4.3-1.2.0.exe
, to create the required
directory structure and load all software and documentation files. Review the README.txt file
for a synopsis of new features and changes with this Z-Stack release.
4.2. Install IAR EW8051 Package
Install the Embedded Workbench for 8051 from IAR Systems:
http://www.iar.com/
. The project
and library files included in this release of Z-Stack require the use of EW8051 version 7.30B or
newer. When considering an upgrade to a newer version of EW8051, it is necessary to verify that
installed project and library files are compatible with the newer development tools.
4.3. Device IEEE Addresses
Each CC243xEM board in the development kit has been pre-programmed with a unique 64-bit
IEEE address. These addresses, assigned by Chipcon, are stored in
Little-Endian
format, located
in the upper 8 bytes of FLASH memory on the CC243x processor. The IEEE address is
displayed on a sticker affixed to the bottom of each CC243xEM.
This FLASH memory location would also be used for factory commissioning of IEEE addresses
on devices that use Z-Stack. For CC243x-F128 devices, used on all boards in the development
kit, the least significant byte of the IEEE address is located at “linear” FLASH memory address
0x1FFF8, corresponding to “banked” address 0x3FFF8.
Z-Stack treats the IEEE address area of FLASH as “write once” memory. When an attempt is
made to write an IEEE address to that location (via Z-Tool, etc.), it will succeed only if the
current contents are empty (0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF). In other words, any 8-byte pattern other
than all 0xFF values, is considered to be a valid IEEE address and won’t be modified.
5. Configuring and Using Z-Stack
5.1. Configuring Z-Stack
For the purposes of this release, the Logical Device Type and Profile are pre-configured. Details
on configuring and programming the sample applications for the Z-Location are provided in the
sections beginning with “Building the Sample Devices”.
