COMPLETE DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT FOR EMBER ZIGBEE® SYSTEMS
Silicon Labs provides all the components required for developers to deliver complete
products ready for “ZigBee® Certied Product” testing and designation. Going
beyond network interoperability at the stack level, ZigBee Certied Products offer
assured interoperability against specic ZigBee Public Application Proles dened
for specic market applications, such as home automation and smart energy.
WIRELESS SOLUTIONS
Fastest Way to ZigBee Certiable Products
• Automatically customizes EmberZNet PRO
application framework for any number of specic
ZigBee public application proles.
• Support for ZigBee’s standard Smart Energy,
Home Automation and Light Link Proles.
• Provides a full range of ZigBee Cluster Library
(ZCL) devices and commands
• Developers can add their own device specic
code in a structured way to the production-ready
ZigBee certiable application framework code
• Fast and easy development of products ready for
ZigBee Certied Product testing against standard
proles
ZIGBEE CERTIFIED PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
The Ember® ZigBee development environment includes the following components:
Development Environment
Silicon Labs’ Ember AppBuilder is used to develop complete applications based on pre-certied, ZigBee Application prole,
production-ready code. The unique silicon-based packet trace port offers a collection of non-intrusive hardware debugging
features integrated on the EM35x series of ARM® Cortex™ based ZigBee SoCs. Debug adapters bridge packet trace port to the
developer’s PC via an Ethernet connection, where the Desktop Network Analyzer enables rapid network analysis and debugging.
Ember AppBuilder Rapid Prototyping Utility
The Ember AppBuilder development tool automatically generates a complete, ZigBee certiable application with a dened
interface for customers to add their device-specic code. Through the easy-to-use Ember AppBuilder graphical interface,
developers can congure:

Application Profles
• A ZigBee Public Application Prole (i.e. Home Automation, Smart Energy
or Light Link proles)
• A specic device type within the prole (i.e. a light dimmer or thermostat)
or dene a custom device
• Multiple endpoints containing different clusters and device support
• The specic ZCL commands and attributes supported for that device
• General network options, such as security modes
• Specic hardware conguration parameters
• Ember AppBuilder Rapid Prototyping Utility
• Desktop Network Analyzer
• Complete Development Kits
Using this information, the Ember AppBuilder tool specically tailors EmberZNet PRO application framework source code.
The developer then adds whatever OEM-specic code is required to execute the congured commands to the generated
application code. The result is a complete application ready for hardware integration and testing.

Choosing Your Development Kit
EM35x development kits provide all the tools needed to start building development
and test networks.
EM35x Series Development Kit
(EM35X-DEV or EM35X-DEV-IAR)
Customers starting new ZigBee SoC projects will most likely want to choose
the EM35x Development Kit as their start point, due to the industry leading
performance and application space on the ARM Cortex-M3 based EM351 and
EM357 SoCs. There are two variants:
• EM35X-DEV with a 30-day trial license of IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM
• EM35X-DEV-IAR includes a full standalone Cortex-M3 licence for IAR
Embedded Workbench for ARM
An IAR EWARM license (P/N: EM35X-DEV-UPG-IAR) for use with the EM35x
development kit may be purchased separately.
EM35x Family as a Network Co-Processor (NCP)
(EM35X-NCP-ADD-ON-S)
Silicon Labs’ Ember EM35x NCP add-on kit allows designers to take
maximum advantage of the superior power consumption, radio performance
and CPU performance of the Ember EM35x series chips in a network co-
processor conguration.
Desktop Network Analyzer
The foundation of the Ember development environment is the fully-
integrated remote network monitoring and debugging capabilities. A
unique packet trace capability allows every node in the development
network to report time-stamped radio trafc, API activity and
application prints across an Ethernet LAN to a centralized PC-based
Desktop Network Analyzer. The Desktop Network Analyzer analyzes
and lters the data for presentation to the user, not only eliminating
the need for separate ‘sniffer’ nodes and expensive sniffer software,
but delivering much more accurate and chronologically synchronized
information from a more widely dispersed network than might
normally be supported by traditional tools. By making use of the LAN
infrastructure already present in most ofces, developers can build
quite large and dispersed development and test networks, which they
can monitor and control from a central location.
The Ember debug adapter which provides connectivity across an
Ethernet LAN to nodes in the developer’s network, allows remote
programming and collection of time-synchronized packet, API and
application information from many nodes at once.
