EZMac
®
Embedded Media Access
Control Software
EZMac
®
media access control module is developed in C
code for use with our ISM transceiver products and MCUs
to create very low cost mesh networks with less than 128
nodes. EZMac software provides designers a simplified
interface to the physical radio layer that manages signal
delivery and associated packets from the transmitter to the
receiver and between nodes.
www.silabs.com/EZMac
Requirement ::

• Internal baud rate generator
• 16 byte payload per packet
• Dedicated crystal oscillator for exact timing
• DQD (data quality detector) for FSK fast frequency
hopping
• Configurable packet filtering
• Multiple error detection
Wireless Development Suite
The Wireless Development Suite (WDS) provides developers
a comprehensive toolset to quickly and easily create and
deploy efficient, robust and low-cost wireless applications.
WDS can be used for demonstrating part capabilities,
testing performance, and prototyping application examples,
with little or no RF design and measurement experience.
www.silabs.com/WDS
Requirement ::
Prototyping and Test
• Supports a family of TX, RX and TRX test cards
• Device config, save, and restore
• Custom scripting API
• Online device documentation
• Terminal window
