Embedded Media Access
Control Software Demo Code
EZMac
®
media access control software is developed in
C code for use with our ISM transceiver products and
Wireless MCUs to help create simple point-to-point and star
netwroks. Transceiver application designers can use the
EZMac software as a demonstration of a simplified interface
to the physical radio layer that manages the delivery of
signals and their associated packets from the transmitter to
the receiver, between nodes.
www.silabs.com/EZMac

• 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
