Introduction
This document describes the SNDEV-260 ZigBee® kit which is a full-featured tool kit which
offers all the hardware and software needed for deployment of wireless networks for remote
monitoring, sensing, and control-network applications based on the ZigBee® standard.
The kit provides a complete hardware/software development environment and network
system (3 nodes) that uses the SN260 ZigBee® network processor and the EmberZnet™
ZigBee® advanced wireless protocol stack.
The kit facilitates application development with sample applications and a complete software
tool set that includes Ember's InSight™ Desktop with Network Traffic Analyzer to display
network and node activity in real time.
This user guide is intended to provide an overall description of the software and hardware
requirements for the SNDEV-260 ZigBee® kit, instructions for setting up the hardware and
building the wireless application examples as well as describing known limitations and
issues at release time.
Due to the total compatibility between the SN260 and EM260, and the partnership between
the two companies, some documents have been kindly supplied by Ember.
