ZigBee® USB dongle demonstration kit (STEVAL-IFS013V2)

1 Introduction

This document describes the hardware and software of the STMicroelectronics™ ZigBee®

USB dongle demonstration kit working under the Microsoft®Windows®98/2000/XP

operating systems.

The purpose of this design is to demonstrate the key features of STMicroelectronics ZigBee

PRO compliant wireless networking solutions. ZigBee PRO, the leading wireless control and

sensory network solution, stands apart from other RF solutions as the only standards-based

technology that:

■Addresses the unique needs of remote monitoring and control, and sensory network

applications

■Enables broad-based deployment of wireless mesh networks with low-cost, low-power

solutions

■Provides the ability to run for years on inexpensive primary batteries for a typical

monitoring application.

This particular demonstration kit primarly offers USB interface operating either under USB

communication device class (CDC) for virtual COM port connectivity or under device

firmware upgrade (DFU) class for reprogramming an application through USB. All design

source data are coming together with the kit and are ready to be reused in next

development. Target applications are: ZigBee network analysis and control through your PC,

universal PC based ZigBee “sink” node, low cost PC based node for rapid start of ZigBee

technology evaluation.

2 Description

The ZigBee USB dongle demonstration kit tool is designed to demonstrate several

STMicroelectronics products:

■SPZB260-PRO is a low power consumption ZigBee module optimized for embedded

applications. It enables OEMs to easily add wireless capability to electronic devices.

The module is based on SN260 ZigBee network processor which integrates 2.4 GHz,

IEEE 802.15.4-compliant transceiver as well as IEEE 802.15.4 PHY and MAC. 24 MHz

high stability Xtal is available aboard the module to perform the timing requirements as

per ZigBee specifications. A single supply voltage is requested to power the module.

An integrated 2.5 GHz specific Murata antenna is aboard. The voltage supply also

determines the I/O ports level allowing an easy interface with the host system. The

module is controlled by means of a standard serial interface (SPI) allowing the

connections to a variety of host microcontrollers.

■The medium density devices STM32F103xx performance line family incorporates the

high-performance ARM®Cortex™-M3 32-bit RISC core operating at a 72 MHz frequency,

high-speed embedded memories (Flash memory up to 128 Kbytes and SRAM up

to 20 Kbytes), and an extensive range of enhanced I/Os and peripherals connected to two

APB buses. All devices offer two 12-bit ADCs, three general purpose 16-bit timers plus

one PWM timer, as well as standard and advanced communication interfaces: up to two

I2Cs and SPIs, three USARTs, an USB and a CAN. The STM32F103xx performance line

family operates from 2.0 to 3.6 V power supply. It is available in both the –40 to +85 °C

temperature range and the –40 to +105 °C extended temperature range.

A comprehensive set of power-saving mode allows designing low-power applications.

The complete STM32F103xx performance line family includes devices in 5 different

package types: from 36 pins to 100 pins.

Getting started UM0602

8/18 Doc ID 15114 Rev 2

3.4.1 Power supply

The USB to ZigBee dongle evaluation board is directly supplied by the USB connector (bus-

powered) and therefore does not require an external voltage supply.

3.4.2 STM32 JTAG interface

The 8-pin connector CN3 must be connected to a programming tool in order to program or

erase the microcontroller Flash memory.

For further information, please refer to both the Reference manual RM0008 - “Low-,

medium- and high-density STM32F101xx, STM32F102xx and STM32F103xx advanced

ARM-based 32-bit MCUs” and the Programming manual PM0042 - “STM32F10xxx Flash

programming”, available online from www.st.com/mcu.

Note: The USB cable must be plugged in to supply the board with voltage.

3.4.3 SPZB260-PRO debug and programming interface (SIF)

In order to program the integrated Flash and debug the software application within the

SPZB260-PRO, a synchronous serial interface, known as SIF, connects either Ember's™

InSight™ Adapter (ISA) or Ember's USB link programmer directly to the XAP2b core and

integrated memory bus. The SIF is a synchronous port which operates in a similar

command/response manner as JTAG. It uses four, dedicated pins (SIF_CLK, SIF_MISO,

SIF_MOSI and nSIF_LOAD) from the SPZB260-PRO. This interface is available through

optional connector CN1.

Doc ID 15114 Rev 2 9/18

4 Software equipment of the evaluation kit

This part of the document presents key software techniques that are used and ready for

testing in the USB to ZigBee dongle evaluation kit.

4.1 Design firmware update

This paragraph describes the implementation of a device firmware upgrade (DFU) capability

in the STM32F103xx microcontroller. It follows the DFU class specification defined by the

USB Implementers Forum for reprogramming an application through USB. The DFU

principle is particularly well suited to USB applications that need to be reprogrammed in the

field: The same USB connector can be used for both the standard operating mode and the

reprogramming process.

This operation is made possible by the IAP capability featured by most of the

STMicroelectronics USB Flash microcontrollers, which allows a Flash MCU to be

reprogrammed by any communication channel.

The DFU process, like any other IAP process, is based on the execution of firmware located

in one small part of the Flash memory and that manages the erase and program operations

of the others Flash memory modules depending on the device capabilities: it could be the

main program/code Flash, data Flash/EEPROM or any other memory connected to the

microcontroller even a serial Flash (through SPI or I2C etc.). In case of the USB to ZigBee

dongle evaluation kit is DFU used to program the internal Flash memory.

Refer to the UM0412, DfuSe USB device firmware upgrade STMicroelectronics extension,

for more details on the driver installation and PC user interface.

4.2 Virtual COM port

In modern PCs, USB is the standard communication port for almost all peripherals. The

virtual COM port feature used in the standard firmware delivery provides a simple solution to

bypass need of dedicated PC software equipment or drivers for our evaluation board

control. It uses the USB as a COM port by affecting the legacy PC application designed for

COM port communication.

The target of virtual COM port feature in our evaluation design is to bridge ZigBee node

serial control port located on STM32 to USB and to provide communication between

a laptop (without RS-232 port) and our evaluation board. The PC application used in the

communication is Windows HyperTerminal.

4.3 Sensor - sink ZigBee application

An example of a complete application that implements a distributed sensor network with

1 or more data collection points (called “sensors”) and 1 or more data storage points (called

“sinks”) is partially included in your standard evaluation kit delivery. A sink node sends out

advertisements (SINK_ADVERTISE) at regular intervals using a multicast (after making

a many-to-one route request). When a sensor without a sink hears this multicast, it sends

a message (SENSOR_SELECT_SINK) requesting to use this sink (after setting its address

table entry to the sink). If the sink has a free address table entry it responds with a sink

Software equipment of the evaluation kit UM0602

10/18 Doc ID 15114 Rev 2

ready message (SINK_READY) and, at that point, the sensor is free to send data (DATA) to

the sink at fixed intervals (as set by SEND_DATA_RATE).

Note: The sink, sensor applications require the user interaction through the serial communication

channels (virtual COM through USB). Press the “?” key on the hyper terminal for printing the

user help menu. See the Section 4.3.3: Serial commands supported on sensor and sink for

a description of the available serial commands.

4.3.1 Sensor

A device that takes data readings from some input source and passes these readings to

a particular collection point. Many sensors report to a single sink. When the sensor

application joins the network, led LD2 on the board will blink (visual signal that the node is

active and joined to a network).

4.3.2 Sink

Sink is a device that serves as a collection point for 1 or more sensor devices. In this

example, the sink is set up to be the ZigBee coordinator device, and it forms the network

automatically on first startup and retains these settings across reboots. Once the sink

application starts running, led LD2 on your evaluation STEVAL-IFS013V2 board will blink

(visual signal that the node is active).

4.3.3 Serial commands supported on sensor and sink
