Table of Contents
Introduction
Z-Stack 3.x is a component of the SimpleLink™ CC13x2 / CC26x2 Software Development Kit. This component enables development of Zigbee® 3.0 specification based products. Z-Stack is TI’s complete solution for developing certified Zigbee 3.0 solution on CC13x2 and CC26x2 platforms. Z-Stack contained in this release is based on Zigbee 3.0 specification with the added benefit of running on top of TI-RTOS.
Key features of Z-Stack 3.6.0 :
- Zigbee certified stack - Zigbee Pro 2017 (R22) and Green Power Proxy v1.1.1 (Z-Stack Core v1.0.0.0)
- Zigbee Cluster Library (ZCL) 7 integration
- Standalone Home Automation sample applications to jump start development
- Generic example application to start creating custom Zigbee 3.0 certifiable products
- Green Power Device (GPD) and Sink (GPS) examples for battery-less devices
- Integrated User Interface or Zigbee network processor (ZNP) dual-device configurations
- Secure Over-the-Air Download (OAD) firmware upgrade support and Over-the-Air Update (OTA) examples for updating Zigbee device firmware wirelessly
- Dynamic Multiprotocol Manager (DMM) Integration - BLE + Zigbee coexistence examples included in the SDK
- Full integration with TI-RTOS for real-time scheduling, automatic power management and utilizing peripheral device drivers
- Free code development option with Code Composer Studio™ (CCS)

Z-Stack Documentation
The SimpleLink CC13x2 and CC26x2 Software Development Kit(SDK) allows easier product development by combining TI-RTOS and the Zigbee protocol stack in one unified SDK. All Z-Stack sample applications are based off the TI-RTOS Kernel. Key documents needed for Zigbee application development include:
- Z-Stack Quick Start Guide
- TI Z-Stack User’s Guide
- Z-Stack Application APIs
- Z-Stack Migration Guides
- Z-Stack Monitor and Test API
- Z-Stack ZCL APIs
Installation and Usage
- To build the sample applications with this SDK a supported IDE must be installed (refer to Dependencies below)
- Install the simplelink_cc13x2_26x2_sdk_3_40_00_xx installer package on a supported host operating system build machine with Administrator privileges
- The default install path for Windows is C:\ti\simplelink_cc13x2_26x2_sdk_3_40_00_xx
- Changing the default install path and/or drive letter may require updating project variables. Do not use a space in the install path
- It is recommended to make a backup of the installation in order to revert modifications to the SDK
