|
The Firefly is a breakout board designed to inspire.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It exposes the most basic Zoul features, sporting only the most down-to-core features to work with the Zoul, providing the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ARM Cortex-M3 with 512KB flash and 32KB RAM (16KB retention), 32MHz.
|
||
|
|
* ISM 2.4-GHz IEEE 802.15.4 & Zigbee compliant.
|
||
|
|
* ISM 868-, 915-, 920-, 950-MHz ISM/SRD Band.
|
||
|
|
* On-board printed PCB sub-1GHz antenna and 2.4Ghz ceramic chip antenna.
|
||
|
|
* AES-128/256, SHA2 Hardware Encryption Engine.
|
||
|
|
* ECC-128/256, RSA Hardware Acceleration Engine for Secure Key Exchange.
|
||
|
|
* Compatible with breadboards and protoboards.
|
||
|
|
* On-board CP2104/PIC to flash over USB-A connector.
|
||
|
|
* User and reset buttons.
|
||
|
|
* RGB LED to allow more than 7 colour combinations.
|
||
|
|
* Small form factor (68.78 x 25.80mm).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Firefly can be seen as the "small brother" of the RE-Mote, with a slick design and a lower cost.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To work out of the box, the firefly includes a PCB antenna for the Sub-1GHz interface, and a ceramic chip antenna for the 2.4GHz radio interface. Optionally 2 x u.Fl connectors for 2.4GHz and sub-1GHz external antennas can be mounted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The firefly can be programmed and debugged over JTAG and USB. The board has a CP2104 USB to serial converter with a PIC, it allows to program the CC2538 without having to manually to put the device in bootloader mode.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The most prominent changes respect to the previous Firefly release are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* On-board ceramic chip 2.4GHz antenna
|
||
|
|
* Pin-out changes and CC1200 GPIO2 pin is exposed
|
||
|
|
* RF matching improvements
|
||
|
|
* Printed PCB USB A connector instead of Micro-USB connector
