ZBOSS Documentation
The SimpleLink Low Power F3 Software Development Kit(SDK) allows easier product development by combining FreeRTOS and the Zigbee protocol stack in one unified SDK. All Zigbee sample applications are based off the FreeRTOS Kernel. Key documents needed for Zigbee application development include:
Installation and Usage
- To build the sample applications with this SDK a supported IDE must be installed (refer to Dependencies below)
- Install the simplelink_lowpower_f3_sdk_9_10_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_lowpower_f3_sdk_9_10_00_xx\examples\rtos\LP_EM_CC2340RX\zigbee
- 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
