U-NET01 Development Kit

                                                                                                                                    

Product Description

The U-NET01 platform is composed of hardware and firmware. Users only have to modify the codes of the application layer to accommodate the code needs for  their applications. The bottom hardware portion is composed of UBEC’s UZ2400 chip. UZ2400 serves both as the physical layer (PHY) and the media access layer (MAC). UZ2400 communicates with the host MCU through a 4-wire SPI interface. The UZ2400 driver library, which is called Simple RF (SRF) library, is utilized by the MCU as the bottom driver. The U-NET network stack which resides in SRF is the core technology of the network stack. Users only need to be familiar with a few (fewer than 10 sets) application program interface (API) functions before they can start programming the application layer and the control of the whole network.

U-NET Network Stack

The U-NET01 platform is composed of hardware and firmware. Users only have to modify the codes of the application layer to accommodate the code needs for  their applications. The architecture of the U-NET01 platform is shown in Figure 2. The bottom hardware portion is composed of UBEC’s UZ2400 chip. UZ2400 serves both as the physical layer (PHY) and the media access layer (MAC). UZ2400 communicates with the host MCU through a 4-wire SPI interface. The UZ2400 driver library, which is called Simple RF (SRF) library, is utilized by the MCU as the bottom driver. The U-NET network stack which resides in SRF is the core technology of the network stack. Users only need to be familiar with a few (fewer than 10 sets) application program interface (API) functions before they can start programming the application layer and the control of the whole network.
