the test environment. The Breakout Board provides a direct connection for debugging customer-designed
hardware, while the remote control provides a low cost, form factor reference design. For detailed information
about the EM35x Breakout Board, see document TS6, EM35xx Breakout Board Technical Specification.

Hardware

•
Remote Control provides a low cost, single-sided, form factor reference design. The remote is programmable
via the Packet Trace connector and Debug Adapter (ISA3). It provides an ideal solution to quickly prototype
and develop a fully functioning ZRC remote control application
•
Breakout Board serves as a test bed for network hardware and applications. The Breakout Board will have an
associated EM34x Module, which can be deployed as a node within a network application. The Breakout Board
connects with a Debug Adapter (ISA3) through two communication links: the Packet Trace Port and the DEI
Port. This allows the Breakout Board's EM34x Module to interface with Ember Desktop through the Debug
Adapter (ISA3)'s Packet Trace Port and its wired Ethernet connection. These interconnections are described
later in this chapter. The Breakout Board also has a prototype breadboard area for application-specific
hardware development.
•
EM34x modules contain the EM34x System-on-Chip (SoC) solution providing a complete radio and
microcontroller solution. The kit includes both EM341 (ZRC Controller) and EM346 (ZRC Target) module
variants.
