1 Overview
1.1 DESCRIPTION
The
ZFSM201-EVB-1
FreeStar Pro Evaluation Board serves as an interface, evaluation and
development tool enabling the user to demonstrate, and evaluate the capabilities of the CEL
ZFSM-201-1,
FreeStar Pro Module.
At the heart of the CEL
ZFSM-201-1
is the Freescale
MC13224V
Platform-in-Package (PiP)
transceiver, a 32-bit ARM-based ZigBee radio module and a third-generation 2.4GHz IEEE®
802.15.4 platform.
The 32-bit ARM7 processor and extensive on-chip memory allows designers to eliminate the
peripheral host processors often required by 8- and/or 16-bit transceiver solutions. The high
level of integration also helps to reduce component count, lowering power consumption and
reducing overall system cost.
The evaluation kit provides the end user the ability to quickly become familiar with both the
ZFSM-201-1
FreeStar Pro module’s hardware and software. The evaluation boards come
preloaded with firmware demonstrating a wireless link and communicating with the supplied
FreeStar Pro Test Tool
Graphical User Interface (GUI).
The full application source code of the pre-programmed firmware is based on Freescale’s
SMAC codebase for ARM7® and is supplied in an IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM project.
The source code exercises key features of the MC13224V and provides a good reference or
starting point for creating custom applications on the SMAC codebase. The application source
code includes the following features:
RF
Evaluation
Range
Test
Application
Packet Error Rate Test (PERT) Application
Transmitting and receiving on the UART
Using low power modes
Reading and writing to Non-Volatile Memory (NVM)
Reading Analog to Digital Converters
Using
GPIOs
