Hi,

 

Can I use the CC2531 USB DOngle as a Zigbee Network Processor connected to USB and make it work with ZBOSS.

 

I want to use the CC2531 USB Dongle and run the Zigbee Application from the linux PC

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Thank you for the information.

 

I have worked in the past with the CC2531 as ZNP and also the CC2530 as a ZNP. As such I am familiar with Zigbee and the TI USB support.

 

At which point in the ZBOSS framework should this integration be done. For eg the current implementation is expecting a communication interface so that it can pass the packet to MAC layer.

 

However I need to pass the packet from ZBOSS at the network layer or at the Application framework layer, if you could point me to the function in the ZBOSS code which passes the packets to the network layer it would be great.

 

Thank you so much for your support.

 

Best Regards

 

Royston

Hi,

 

ZBOSS Open Source is able to work with CC2531 out of the box, but there is no tools to control stack from the PC through USB.

 

So you'll need to implement your own protocol under USB.

 

You may want to look at Texas Instruments USB Firmware Library to start with.
