Overview
Freescale Semiconductor’s MC13191/92
Developer’s Starter Kit is a cost-effective,
reusable development kit used to implement
wireless network designs compatible with
the IEEE
®
802.15.4 standard. The kit
contains all the hardware, software
and documentation necessary to create
proprietary and standards-based
peer-to-peer and star networks.
The development kit contains two Sensor
Application Reference Design (SARD)
boards that utilize Freescale’s MC13192
2.4 GHz transceiver, MC9S08GT60
microcontroller unit, MMA1260D 1.5g
X-Y-axis and MMA6261Q 1.5g Z-axis
accelerometers. The boards can either be
powered by a nine-volt battery (included) or
by an external power supply. Also included
in the development kit are Freescale’s IEEE
802.15.4 MAC and example Simple MAC
(SMAC) software. The SMAC software,
which is available as source code and can
be targeted to any processor, allows for
development of non-standards-based
proprietary point-to-point and star networks.
The IEEE 802.15.4 MAC software allows
for standards-based peer-to-peer and star
network topologies. A preprogrammed
wireless accelerometer demonstration based
on the SMAC software runs on power-up for
a complete “out-of-the-box” experience.
Freescale’s ZigBee™ technology-ready
family of 2.4 GHz transceivers offers
development of cost-effective, low-power
and low-data-rate RF connectivity solutions.
The MC13191 allows for development of
simple proprietary point-to-point and star
networks. The MC13192 allows for
development of standards-based IEEE
802.15.4 network topologies through
sophisticated ZigBee mesh networks.
The MC13191 and MC13192 transceivers
offer affordable wireless connectivity for
battery-powered monitor and control
applications, such as home and industrial
automation, industrial control and personal
health care.
Freescale combines the development board,
CodeWarrior™ Development Studio and
preprogrammed sample applications to
create a comprehensive, scalable solution
for easy, fast and efficient wireless
network development.
