SNA Support for Partner Kits

Partner kits

Please note that Daintree's Sensor Network Analyzer software and Sensor Network Adapter hardware were discontinued on March 31, 2010, and are no longer available for sale. The following information is provided for support purposes only.  

The Sensor Network Analyzer (SNA) software can be used with Daintree's 2400E Sensor Network Adapter, together with an extensive range of third party semiconductor development kits available from the following partners:


The SNA supports the following Texas Instruments boards as capture devices:

  • From the CC2400 DK/ZDK: CC2420EB
  • From the CC2430 DK/ZDK: CC2430DB and the Smart RF04EB with CC2430EM
  • From the CC2431 DK/ZDK: CC2431DB and the SmartRF04EB with CC2431EM
  • From the CC2520 DK: SmartRF05EB with CC2520EM
  • From the CC2530 DK/ZDK: CC2531 USB dongle and the SmartRF05EB with CC2530EM
     

Note that many of the above boards are also available for individual purchase from TI.

Recent releases of the SNA support advanced functionality provided by the TI CC2430 and CC2431, including features such as over-the-air firmware upgrades and the TI location engine.

With Release 3.0 and newer, the SNA also provides decode support for the Texas Instruments SimpliciTI and the ZigBee RF4CE and 6LoWPAN network protocols. Contact Daintree support to find out how to obtain and use these decodes.

Refer to Daintree's application notes for detailed instructions on how to use TI boards as SNA capture devices, how to decode non-ZigBee network protocols such as SimpliciTI, and how to performed advanced functionality such as start up commissioning and binding, locationing, and over the air firmware upgrades.

Freescale 

The SNA is compatible with the 802.15.4 Analyzer hardware supplied in the following Freescale 802.15.4/ZigBee Evaluation Kits: 

  • MC1321xEVK
  • MC1322xNSK
  • MC13193EVK
  • MC13192EVK
  • FSL-ZB-SNF

You can also purchase the Analyzer hardware separately from Freescale.

With Release 3.0 and newer, the SNA also provides decode support for Freescale's Synkro network protocol. Contact Daintree support to find out how to obtain and use the Synkro decodes.

Refer to Daintree's application notes for detailed instructions on how to use Freescale boards as SNA capture devices, and how to use the SNA to decode non-ZigBee network protocols (such as Synkro).

Ember 

The SNA is compatible with boards from the following Ember ZigBee Development Kits: 

  • EM250
  • EM2420

You can use boards from both kits as SNA capture devices. The Ember EM250 and EM2420 kits also support the use of Daintree's 2400E Adapter as a capture device.

The SNA also supports the use of the EM250 breakout board (together with the EM250 RCM) to actively interact with live networks and devices, and do things like over-the-air configuring of devices during commissioning, managing networks by forcing devices to join or leave, scanning and discovering network structure, and measuring parameters such as link quality and power levels.

Refer to Daintree's application notes for detailed instructions on how to use Ember boards as SNA capture devices, and how to performed advanced functionality such as active analysis and configuration, and start up commissioning, binding and group commissioning.

Integration Associates 

Note that in July 2008, Integration Associates was acquired by Silicon Labs.

The SNA is compatible with the Integration Associates 802.15.4/ZigBee USB Dongle, which is bundled with a number of third-party ZigBee development kits.

The dongle can be used with the SNA as a capture device. You can also use it to "actively" interact with live networks and devices, and perform tasks such as over-the-air configuring of devices during commissioning, managing networks by forcing devices to join or leave, scanning and discovering network structure, and measuring parameters such as link quality and power levels.

Refer to Daintree's application notes for detailed instructions on how to use the Integration Associates dongle as an SNA capture device, and how to performed advanced functionality such as active analysis and configuration, and start up commissioning, binding and group commissioning.
