2. SETTING UP THE EVALBOARD

Plug a PAN4555 Carrierboard on one of the three 34-pins headers B,C or D as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Please take care that pin 1 of the Carrierboard connects to pin1 of the testboard according to the 1 marking on the PCBs. Important: Only 1 PAN4555 carrierboard may be plugged on the testboard. The other 34-pin headers/sockets are provided for demo application boards like sensors, actuators, etc. On slot A a socket is mounted instead of double pin rows for applications using a plug with pins. For details on the testboard see chapter 3 and the testboard schematic in chapter 10. Mount the 50Ohms 2,4GHz antenna with SMA male plug on the PAN4555 SMA socket. Set the +2,7Vdc supply jumper to the corresponding 2-pin header B-C-D. Instead of a jumper an amperemeter for measuring the module current on VCC can be connected. Remark: In case of inserting an amperemeter the voltage drop at the amperemeters internal resistor reduces the Vcc voltage applied to PAN4555 depending on the current drawn. Thus check if the amperemeter used has an internal resistance of sufficiently low value. In addition to a default +2,7Vdc Vcc supply a +5Vdc regulated voltage is available on the headers (this does not apply to usage of USB as power supply) which could be useful for application boards needing a higher supply voltage (i.e. with white LEDs). +5Vdc on the headers must be activated by setting JP2. Important: Do not connect the +5Vdc to PAN4555 directly. The total available current from Vcc plus the current from +5Vdc is approximately 270mA maximum, provided that the power source voltage applied to P1-P2-P3 does not drop below approximately 6,6Vdc. For the location of switches and jumpers on the Evaluation board see chapter 3.

4. OPERATION OF THE TESTBOARD
If not already done please follow the basic setting up instructions as in Chapter 2 Check if the jumper plugs are set as indicated in Figure 2. The functions of the jumpers are as follows:
jumper name A B C D JP2 JP3 JP4 JP7 function Vcc for module in Slot A* Vcc for module in Slot B* Vcc for module in Slot C* Vcc for module in Slot D* 5Vdc feed to Slots A, B, C, D** Vcc setting 2.1-2.7-3.4V; see Table 2 Vcc setting 2.1-2.7-3.4V; see Table 2 Vcc regulator output feed to A, B, C, D to set as in Figure 2 do not care do not care yes do not care no no for Vcc=2.7Vdc default yes for Vcc=2.7Vdc default yes

(Table 1)

* An amperemeter for measuring module current can be inserted instead of the jumper ** +5Vdc supply (independent on JP3 and JP4 settings) option is provided for application demos. It is not used on PAN4555 carrierboard. Check if the port switches S1 near to the COM2 connector for RS232 are all set to off position except the selected UART as noted in Figure 2/Table 3.
5. POWER SUPPLY 5.1. D.C. POWER FROM A POWER SUPPLY
Set the power switch SW7 to the position 2 = off. Connect a power supply with 7-9VDC to one of the power inputs (P1 or P2). In case of P1 use a plug with 5,5mm diameter and the positive terminal at the centre contact. For use of the P2, 2mm contacts the black socket P2-X1 is the negative/ground contact and the red socket P2-X2 is the positive terminal. A linear regulator on the testboard regulates the input voltage down to the +5V DC board supply. A second linear regulator regulates the +5V DC down to the module VCC supply of 2,1/2,7/3,4Vdc
No. REV. DS-Eval4555-PAGE Seite 7 of 16 DATE 30.03.2007 Datum
D.C. POWER FROM A USB DEVICE:
In case no dedicated supply is available, DC supply can be taken from an USB connection. The +5V DC from the USB feeds the linear regulator for the modules VCC supply of 2,1/2,7/3,4Vdc (see table 1). Please note that communication via the USB connector is not possible. Please take into account that when using the +5V DC feed to the 34-pin-headers in combination with USB power supply the voltage is not +5V but unregulated 4.3 V DC due to the voltage drop at a protection diode connected in series on the testboard. Warning: Do not overload the USB power source. Check for the current available from your USB device in order to avoid malfunction of or damage to your USB power source.

POWER ON

Set SW7 to the position 1 = on. (With power from USB position 1 is off and position 2 is on). D7 should be lit indicating that +5Vdc supply is available on the testboard. D8 should be lit indicating that the regulated Vcc module supply is available. The dc regulator output voltage is set with a jumper on JP3 or JP4 as follows:
jumper on 2-pin header JP4 only JP3 only no jumpers regulator output voltage VCC 2,7 Vdc 3,4 Vdc 2,1 Vdc remarks typical for PAN4555 maximum for PAN4555 minimum for PAN4555

(Table 2)

6. SERIAL PORTS

The evalboard is equipped with a serial port connector (COM2). The COM port can be linked to either UART1 (SCI1) or UART2 (SCI2) on the module. This is done with the S1 switch, which has to be set as follows:
UART1 active SW1 settings UART2 active SW1 settings

1 on 1

3 on 3

(Table 3)

Remark: For PAN4555 only UART1 is used, SW1-2 and SW1-4 are have to be set to OFF.

7. RESET

Reset of the testboard and the boards at A,B,C or D can be done with the button named RESET next to the USB socket.

8. BDM CONNECTOR

Reprogramming of PAN4555 can be done via the on-board BDM connector. For programming, the P&E USB HCS08/HCS12 Multilink adapter USB-ML-12 available through http://www.pemicro.com/ is recommended, but any programmer capable of flashing the MC9S08GT60 Controller on the Module can be used. The 6-pin BDM header has the same pinning as the Multilink adapter cable and is located between the reset switch and the COM2 Connector. Please make sure that pin1 of the plug connects to pin1 of the header. The correct device selection for PAN4555 is a Motorola MC9S08GT60.

9. FREESCALE ZIGBEE IMPLEMENTATION 9.1. DEVELOPMENT OF APPLICATIONS WITH FREESCALE BEESTACKTM
PAN4555 is built around the MC13214 single package from Freescale Inc. which includes the freescale ZigBee codebase BeeStackTM (downscaled versions of PAN4555 with MC1321x suited for IEEE802.15.4 or SMAC only are available on demand as well). The access to BeeStackTM is provided after registration and login at www.freescale.com/zigbee. After login the BEEKITDOWNLOADPACKAGE.zip can be downloaded. This package contains BeeStackTM , IEEE802.15.4 MAC and SMAC codebases. For PAN4555 PHY testing using TestToolTM the download of the latest 1321xEVK package is recommended. After successful installation of Beekit on a PC open BeeKit. A ZigBee sample solution *.bksln can be created in a few steps. Important: Before a solution may be exported for PAN4555 the MC1321x target settings have to be changed via the User defined target editor. The required changes are: 1. Uncheck the Use external Antenna Switch 2. Adjust the port settings depending on your application, the PAN4555 datasheet and for use of the PAN4555 carrierboard the pinlist in chapter 10.3. For importing, compiling and debugging of the BeeKitTM solution the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) MetrowerksTM CodeWarrior from www.metrowerks.com is required. As device flash programmer the USB HCS08/HCS12 Multilink from www.pemicro.com is recommended. Important: PAN4555 is a single rf port design with MC13214, refer also to AN3248. The Freescale reference boards 13213-NCB and 13213-SRB are dual port designs, software for these boards will not run. The shipping of products which use ZigBeeTM technology requires a membership of the ZigBeeTM Alliance (www.zigbee.org), at least as an adopter member, and is mandatory for the ZigBeeTM product certification procedure and use of the ZigBeeTM Logo. The prices and fees as known from today are as follows: 1. IDE CodeWarrior order number CWS-H08-C64K-CX from www.metrowerks.com : US$ 995,-. 2. USB HCS08/HCS12 Multilink (www.pemicro.com), orderable at www.freescale.com/zigbee with the ID USBMULTILINKBDM: US$ 99,3. BeeStackTM: The support fee after a 30 days period free of charge required by Freescale Inc. is US$ 999,-. 4. Companies selling products using ZigBeeTM technology have to be a member of the ZigBeeTM Alliance (www.zigbee.org). The minimum fee per year for a membership as adopter is US$ 3500,-. 5. For adopter members the fee for listing the first product at (www.zigbee.org) is US$ 1000,-. 6.

RF TESTING OF PAN4555

refer also to: freescale\documentation\13213EVKUG.pdf on the CD ZigBee radio testing can be done using the Test Tool on a PC. Operation and some often used functions are described below: 1. Install TestTool (from folder 132xxEVKCD on CD) on a PC with a free COM port. 2. Set the Testboard COM port to UART1 and connect it to the PC 3. If needed (for example for PER measurements within ZigBee Radio Test of TestTool) connect the second Testboard (set to UART1 too) to a second free COM port of the PC. If your PC does not provide enough serial ports, a USB to COM converter cable could help. 4. This step is only required for reprogramming: Flash program the embedded_bootloader_4555.s19 via the BDM and upload the EVK_PTC_Demo_w_Embedded_Bootloader_V202_13213_NCB via the serial cable to PAN4555 as described in 8.1. 5. Push RESET on the testboard and open TestTool\View\ZigBee Radio Test. 6. Open TestToolTM and Push PING and HOOK for a device firmware test. 7. Important: In section SPI Registers read modem control_b register address x07, the result is 0x4ca0. This content means dual port mode as for 13213-NCB devices. Change this setting by writing 0x5ca0 to register x07, enabling the MC13214 internal Rx/Tx switch for single port operation. Remark: in case of missing rf input/output while testing with TestTool readout this register in order to check if it is still set to 0x5ca0. 8. RF Testing Tx mode Set Continuous TX with the result Succeeded. PAN4555 is set to a continuous unmodulated carrier for testing of wanted and unwanted (e.g. harmonics) output power or carrier frequency accuracy. The related settings are: - Channel, write for example 0x0b for the lowest frequency at 2405MHz or 0x1a for the highest frequency at 2480MHz. - Xtal Trim, the readout value is 0x7e. For series production this value might be adjusted for PAN4555 - Spi Register 12 The default readout 0xbc sets PAN4555 to a power of approximately 3dBm. In order to check the harmonics power, write 0xff for maximum power of approximately +1dBm at the carrier frequency. 9. RF Testing Rx mode The most important parameter for Rx mode is the sensitivity determined by increasing the path loss between transmitter and receiver until the Packet Error Rate inrceases from 0 to 1% (with 20 bytes payload according to the IEEE802.15.4 requirements). For detailed information on how to run PER measurements refer to the freescale documentation. Remark: Make shure that both Transmitter and Receiver are set to single port mode as described under point 7.
