1. Overview
The USB radio sticks by dresden elektronik provide access to the world of IEEE 802.15.4™
technology by being the gateway to almost any IEEE 802.15.4 Wireless Sensor Networks.
Such gateways can be used for monitoring, sniffing or control of wireless ZigBee® or
6LoWPAN networks and are easily adoptable to custom applications due to the available
free stack software.
The compact designed USB radio sticks deRFusb-23E00 and deRFusb-13E00 contain a
powerful CORTEX-M3 microcontroller with 256 kB high-speed flash. Additional 2GB flash
memory to store user defined data is provided using the USB radio sticks deRFusb-23E06
and deRFusb-13E06, it is usable as mass storage device.
Depending on the transmission frequency of 2.4 GHz - deRFusb-23E00/06/JTAG - or
868/915 MHz - deRFusb-13E00/06/JTAG - the ATMEL low-power transceivers AT86RF231
or alternatively AT86RF212 are integrated. They provide a complete radio transceiver interface between the antenna and the microcontroller and an extended functional range such as
a 128-bit AES hardware engine to ensure data security.
For development the USB radio sticks provide a programming and debugging interface to the
user, by default via native USB. For programming via JTAG, the board options deRFusb23E00 JTAG, deRFusb-23E06 JTAG, deRFusb-13E00 JTAG and deRFusb-13E06 JTAG are
advised.
