Page 6: Zigbit Module Overview
2-layer PCB with a minimum of required external connection. The ZigBit Module evaluation kit containing the ZigBit extension board for the Atmel Xplained PRO HW evaluation platform can be used to develop FW using the Atmel Studio and evaluate using the Wireless Composer. Compared to a custom RF/MCU solution, a module-based solution offers considerable savings in development time and NRE cost per unit during the HW/FW design, prototyping, and mass production phases of product development. - Page 7 The MAC stack running on the host processor can then control data transmission and manages module peripherals. Thus very minimal firmware customization is required for successful module design-in. Third-party sensors can then be connected directly to the module, thus expanding the existing set of peripheral interfaces.
