Simple ZigBee Test Client (SZTC) Demonstration
The Simple ZigBee Test Client (SZTC) application allows users to test the SMAC primitives by sending
special data frames through the Serial/USB port. The SZTC application requires two boards and the
appropriate Python scripts to communicate with the boards or a serial port packet generator.
Prior to loading the SZTC application, the application must be generated using BeeKit as described in the
BeeKit Wireless Connectivity Toolkit User’s Guide
.
See
Section 1.3, “UART/USB Virtual COM Port Setup”
for information about how to set up a virtual COM
port for this application.
7.1
Generating a Project From BeeKit
Once the UART/USB virtual ports have been configured proceed to generate the project from BeeKit.
1. Open BeeKit (Start->Programs->Freescale BeeKit->Freescale BeeKit).
2. In BeeKit, select the MC1322x SMAC codebase (File menu -> Select Codebase...)
3. Click on File -> New Project and choose the Simple ZTC template.
4. Follow the steps as displayed in the New Project wizard.
5. Configure the properties as needed.
6. Validate the solution
7. Export the solution.
For further details about how to use BeeKit, see the
BeeKit Wireless Connectivity Toolkit User’s Guide
(BKWCTKUG).
7.2
Testing the SZTC with the WirelessUART
1. Download the SZTC application to the board that will be used as the tester.
2. Download the WirelessUART application to a board that will be used as the subject of the test.
3. Open a HyperTerminal session (or another compatible communications program) and configure it
for serial communications using the following parameters:
— 8 Bits
— No Parity
— 1 Stop
— 38400 Baud
— No Flow control
