recently I bought a little pcb with TI CC2530 ZigBee Chip and antenna on it on ali express with antenna. Here the link:

Does anybody know which ZigBee Stack is installed on the chip and whether there is a possibility to install another Stack?

Thanks in advance,

Florian

Which varsion of the Z-Stack was installed on this board - nobody kwowns.

For install new version of Z-Stack and your developed app on it stack, you need CC Debugger for flashing and debugging.

For quick start see CC Debugger User Guide

For future - it's a bad idea to buy chineese non-original and noname development kits because it is too hard for quick start and learning. Better buy original kits with brilliant documentation and good ecosystem.

  • Thanks for your answer. You are totally right in saying it costs time to have a system with less documentation. But if every one would share his experience with those boards we can succeed. I could already flash the chip with CC Debugger, so a known Z-Stack is installed. But I cannot talk with the chip (ZNP) from my application processor via SPI. Really strange. Maybe I have some mistakes in my code. But actually the SPI trace looks ok. – florian2840 Jul 26 '16 at 15:25
  • My next step would be to solder an original CC2530 chip on this breakoutboard. Maybe it is really the non-original chip. I suppose I am not the first person who played around with such breakout board. So would be great if anybody can tell me his experiences. – florian2840 Jul 26 '16 at 15:29
