TI DK-EM2

2.4 GHz ZigBee Wireless Networking
on Stellaris®
The Stellaris® 2.4 GHz ZigBee Wireless Networking Kit from
Texas Instruments provides a low-power RF network solution
for customers’ end equipment. The solution combines TI’s
Z-Stack implementation of the ZigBee and ZigBee Pro
protocols with the new Stellaris EM2 expansion board and the
Chipcon 2.4 GHz 802.15.4 evaluation module along with the
full suite of tools an engineer needs to develop and prototype
ZigBee applications with Stellaris. The DK-EM2-2520Z
wireless kit works with our most popular Stellaris
microcontroller development kit, the DK-LM3S9B96 (sold
separately).

„ ZigBee Coordinator Temperature Sensor Data Collector
Kit Contents
ZigBee software is aimed at addressing the market need for a
cost-effective, standards-based wireless networking solution
that supports low data-rates, low-power consumption,
security, and reliability. Such networks typically contain a
large number of battery-operated devices networked through
an array of routers that report data to a central coordinator.
This includes applications in markets such as remote
monitoring and control and sensor networking.
The Stellaris® ZigBee solution allows software application
developers to become familiar with the operation of the
CC2520EMK evaluation module using their Texas
Instruments’ Stellaris embedded microcontroller platform
without having to be concerned about the RF portion of the
system. The Stellaris EM2 expansion board facilitates the
connection of up to two wireless expansion modules using
SPI as the primary interface to the DK-EM2-2520Z module.
DK-EM2-2520Z Kit Contents
The Stellaris® 2.4 GHz ZigBee Wireless Networking Kit
provides the tools engineers need to set up and develop
wireless applications right out of the box including:
„ 1 DK-LM3S9B96 EM2 Expansion Board
„ 1 CC2520EMK 2.4 GHz 802.15.4 Evaluation Module
