Zigbee/802.15.4 Evaluation Kit
Quick Start Guide
AN2772
1 Introduction
This document provides a detailed description of how to
navigate through the Zigbee/802.15.4 application
Evaluation Kit (EVK) package.
The EVK package contains two evaluation printed
circuit boards (PCBs).
• DIG-528-2 EVK board
• DIG-536-2 ARD board
The boards are delivered with a pre-uploaded
demonstration application. More demonstration
applications can be uploaded with the delivered PC-tool
which allows users to evaluate different application
scenarios with the Freescale Zigbee/802.15.4 software
solution. The delivered demonstration applications are
PCB dependent, which means that a particular
demonstration application designed for DIG-528-2 will
not run on the DIG-536-2 SARD and vice versa.
Demonstration Applications for the DIG-528-2 EVK
include, but are not limited to:

Safety Information
• Switch Demonstration (See AN2773/D for details.)
Demonstration Applications for the DIG-536-2 SARD include but are not limited to:
• Accelerometer (See AN2762/D and AN 2774/D for details.)
The Switch demonstration application is available with full source code which shows how to use some of
the Zigbee/802.15.4 features and some of the main system features. This will show users how to interface
to the 802.15.4 MAC/PHY and help users gain a better understanding about how to make their own
applications. The source code is available for copying and modification. However, this requires that users
build the source code, which requires that they have already installed the Metrowerks Codewarrior IDE
for the HCS08 and have a full working license. Contact Metrowerks for more detailed information on how
to get a license or to get a full working 30 day trial license.
2 Safety Information
Any modifications to this product may violate the rules of the Federal Communications Comm ission and
make operation of the product unlawful.
47 C.F.R. Sec. 15.21
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
47 C.F.R. Sec.15.105(b)
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
The antenna(s) used for this equipment must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 8
inches (20cm) from all persons.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

4 Primary Processor Overview
The EVK package contains two PCBs. The DIG-528-2 EVK board and the DIG-536-2 ARD board. The
two primary processors on the PCBs are the Freescale MC908HCS08 GT60 MCU and the Freescale MC
13192 RF chip.
4.1 MCU MC908HCS08 GT60 Processor
The MC908HCS08 GT60 is a member of Freescale's 8 bit, low-cost, high-performance HCS08 family . It
has a 60 KB embedded flash and a 4 KB embedded RAM. A flash sector is 512 bytes. For more details
refer to the EVK Hardware Description Application Note, AN2731/D and the HCS08 Micro controllers
Data Sheet, MC9S0GB60/GT60.
4.2 MC13192 Processor
The Freescale MC13192 RF transceiver is a small radio that operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band. It has a
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) interface for communication with the MCU. For more details about the
MC13192 see the MC13192 Transceiver Data Sheet, MC13192DS/D.
