Panasonic ZB-01 LR/WPAN PAN802154HAR Module
Panasonic’s LR/WPAN PAN802154 Module is a Low Rate / Low Power communication device based
upon the Freescale™ ZigBee Sensor Application Reference Design (SARD) development platform. It
operates in the ISM 2.4 GHz band, and is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The
PAN802154 is ready to be downloaded with Freescale’s 802.15.4 PHY/ MAC layer and ZigBee protocol
layer.
The PAN802154 uses the Freescale’s 802.15.4 transceiver (MC13193), micro controller (GT60) and is
licensed to use all released Freescale ZigBee Protocol stack layer software. Further, the PAN802154
has an on-board RS-232 interface IC and two on-board printed antennas that are etched on both sides of
the board for optimum RF sensitivity. The whole RF section that encompasses U3 and all passive
components and baluns are shielded to prevent RF leakage and further improve RF performance.
The PAN802154 is tested to fully comply with current FCC requirements for 2.4 GHz ISM band
application. This allows the customer to complete and bring the end product to the market much quicker.
The application profile or program can be developed with in-house SW staff or with any third-party SW
development contractor including Panasonic.

Freescale™ ZigBee
PROTOCOL STACK
802.15.4 MAC LAYER
PHY LAYER
Diagram Three: PAN802154 SW Architecture
The bottom 3 layers may be downloaded from Freescale™ ‘s website. Only the Application Program or
Profile will need to be generated by the system developer. There are many reference code examples
available from the Freescale™ website.
Depending on the application, the following Freescale™ SW components may be appropriate:
a) Freescale Embedded Bootloader
b) 802.15.4 PHY/MAC
c) ZigBee Protocol Stack
All of the SW above is downloadable from Freescale website; http://www.freescale.com/ZigBee
3.1.1 Different Possible Applications with Available Software Components
The PAN802154 can function with a variety of Freescale-provided software such as:
a.) SMAC (Simple MAC)
b.) 802.15.4 MAC
c.) ZigBee Protocol Stack
Depending on the desired application complexity, the user may choose one of the above SW
environments SMAC is the simplest, followed by the 802.15.4 MAC. Using the ZigBee protocol stack on
top of the 802.15.4 MAC will be the most complex and allows the end product to meet the ZigBee
Alliance standard.
The system user may elect to not use the Freescale provided ZigBee protocol stack and develop a
system application based on the 802.15.4 standard protocol only. This could happen with legacy
applications that need not be interoperable with the ZigBee community devices.
For even simpler system, the user can even ignore the 802.15.4 MAC and just use the SMAC (Simple
MAC), and develop the application program on top of this MAC.
3.2 Bootloader
The PAN802154 comes with only the Bootloader loaded.
LR/WPAN PAN802154HAR Application Notes
Doc Number: Rev A3 13
For engineering samples, please start the SW application development process by erasing all
contents of the flash (60K bytes) prior to loading any SW components.
3.3 Required SW Tools
You will need the following SW tools to develop an application program/profile.
1) Metrowerks Codewarrior Development Studio for HC(S)08 64K C Compiler. Part Number CWS-H08-
C64K-CX. (http://store.metrowerks.com)
2) Freescale™ ZigBee Development tool --- This tool is available from Freescale
3) BDM MULTILINK Flash Programming tool ( Software and hardware). This is available from PEMicro
in USB or parallel port presentation. (www.pemicro.com)
3.4 Freescale™ ZigBee Development Platform
Freescale™ Semiconductor has created several hardware and software development platforms. The Z-
Stack and 802.15.4 MAC were created to work with all of these specific hardware platforms.
If you are already familiar with one of the Freescale™ Development Platforms, using the Panasonic
Module in your system is very easy as The Panasonic PAN802154 is most closely resembles the SARD.
3.5 Special mapping for the PAN802154 Module in Metrowerks Code Warrior Development
Tool.
Panasonic PAN802154 uses the Freescale GT60 MCU (U1) in conjunction with the MC13193
Transceiver (U3) --- the correct MCU part number must be chosen for the specific device function role
for the compiler to generate the correct object code.
There are basically 3 function devices
a) End Device – (Reduced Function Device - RFD)
b) Router Device – (Full Function Device - FFD)
c) Device Coordinator – (Full Function Device - FFD)
Note that only FFD can communicate with any device. RFD can only communicate with
FFD, and not with another RFD.
Metrowerks Code Warrior Development Studio for HC (S) 08 64K Compiler is the compiler. Libraries and
source code projects provided by Freescale™ are compatible with this compiler. The compiler may be
found on the Freescale™’s website at www.freescale.com. The 64K-compiler upgrade is needed to
compile the full ZigBee stack.

3.5.1 Compiling with a Z-Stack Project
For compiling with the Z-Stack, the compile flag TARGET_DIG536_2 needs to be added to the
Codewarrior project settings. There are two ways to do this. If you are working in a Z-Stack project,
simply select the GT60 DIG536 target in whichever project is to be compiled (see figure 2 below).
Figure 6: Using pre-defined project setting
3.5.2 Compiling without using the Z-Stack
Without using the Z-Stack, one can manually set the project settings compile flag. This is possible by
clicking on the project setting button in CodeWarrior and selecting ‘Compiler for HC08’. You can then
manually add compile flags to the command line arguments (see figure 3 below). Entering ‘ –
DTARGET_DIG536_2’ accomplishes this mapping.

3.6 Differences between the Panasonic PAN802154 and the Freescale SARD Development
Board
If the User is already familiar with the Freescale SARD Development Board – then using the PAN802154
is very easy.
The Panasonic PAN802154 has a different hardware configuration than the SARD board, improved RF
performance, one switch versus four; one LED versus four; the RS-232 interface has an additional
control connection to conserve power.
3.6.1 Switch
Setting the target settings to the SARD affects all the pin-outs for the PAN802154. The SARD board
layout includes four user switches labeled SW1, SW2, SW3, and SW4. However, the PAN802154 has
only one and it is labeled SW1. Nothing needs to be done in software due to this difference in layouts.
This should be kept in mind when attempting to run Freescale demonstration applications that uses
these switches.
The port used is the same for SW1 (PTD0).
3.6.2 LED
The SARD board had four LEDs as well, however, only one is used on the PAN802154. The port used
for the LED (LED1) is PTD0, which is the same as LED1 on the SARD board. This should be kept in
mind when developing software for the PAN802154s.
LR/WPAN PAN802154HAR Application Notes
Doc Number: Rev A3 16
3.6.3 RS-232 Interface
The MCU has the capability to connect to two separate serial ports, however, the Panasonic PAN802154
has only one header for a serial port connection. This header is connected to SCI1 (serial
communications interface 1).
The RS-232 IC used in the PAN802154 allows for a low-power sleep mode. Control of this sleep mode
is done through a MCU I/O pin, PTC6. To force the RS-232 IC into a sleep mode, set pin PTC6 low.
When the RS-232 IC is in sleep mode, the RS-232 will not operate. To wake the RS-232 IC up, set
PTC6 high .
3.6.4 Editing SARD Header File for the Panasonic Module
Following sections show how to modify the SARD Header into the Panasonic PAN802154 Header File
because of the difference in quantity of LEDs, Switches (or Push Buttons) as indicated in paragraphs
above.
3.6.4.1 Header File Modification for SMAC applications
For SMAC applications, the LED and SW definitions are in the application header file.
To enable these applications to run on the PAN802154, just delete the lines from the header file that
defines LED2, LED3 and LED4. Also, delete the lines that indicate PB1, PB2, and PB3 (Note the
nomenclature difference – Panasonic uses SW; where as the SARD use PB). Also, be sure not to use
these definitions in any of the ZigBee applications. The example given below is from wireless_uart.h,
which is at SMAC_DIRECTORY\apps\Wireless Uart\Sources directory.
Example is below.
#if defined(MC13192SARD)
#define LED1 PTDD_PTDD0
#define LED1DIR PTDDD_PTDDD0
#define LED2 PTDD_PTDD1 <-- Delete
#define LED2DIR PTDDD_PTDDD1 <-- Delete

#define PB2IE KBI1PE_KBI1PE4 <-- Delete
#define PB3IE KBI1PE_KBI1PE5 <-- Delete
#define PRESSED 0
#endif
3.6.4.2 Header File Modification for 802.15.4 MAC applications
For 802.15.4 MAC applications, the Target.h header file needs to be edited in order to remove the
configuration for the SW2, SW3, SW4 and LED2, LED3, LED4, as well as any Macros that exist for
Switches and LED’s that do not exist on the PAN802154. This file is in the 802.15.4 Directory under
Src/GHDR/Target.h.
Also, no application should call any LED macros.
Port A and D Setup
Original code looks as follows
#define mSETUP_PORT_A PTAPE = 0x3C;\ <-- Change to 0x04
PTADD = 0x00;
#define mSETUP_PORT_D PTDPE = 0x00;\
PTDDD = (0x01 | 0x02| 0x08 | 0x10); <-- only keep 0x01
After editing, the code will be as shown below
#define mSETUP_PORT_A PTAPE = 0x04;\
PTADD = 0x00;
#define mSETUP_PORT_D PTDPE = 0x00;\
PTDDD = (0x01);
LED Setup
Original code looks as follows
#define LED1_PIN (1<<0)
#define LED2_PIN (1<<1) <- Delete
LR/WPAN PAN802154HAR Application Notes
Doc Number: Rev A3 18
#define LED3_PIN (1<<3) <- Delete
#define LED4_PIN (1<<4) <- Delete
#define LED1ON PTDD &= 0xFE;
#define LED1OFF PTDD |= 0x01;
#define LED1TOGGLE PTDD ^= 0x01;
#define LED2ON PTDD &= 0xFD; <- Delete
#define LED2OFF PTDD |= 0x02; <- Delete
#define LED2TOGGLE PTDD ^= 0x02; <- Delete
#define LED3ON PTDD &= 0xF7; <- Delete
#define LED3OFF PTDD |= 0x08; <- Delete
#define LED3TOGGLE PTDD ^= 0x08; <- Delete
#define LED4ON PTDD &= 0xEF; <- Delete
#define LED4OFF PTDD |= 0x10; <- Delete
#define LED4TOGGLE PTDD ^= 0x10; <- Delete
After editing the header file for the PAN802154, the code will be as follows
#define LED1_PIN (1<<0)
#define LED1OFF PTDD &= 0xFE;
#define LED1ON PTDD |= 0x01;
#define LED1TOGGLE PTDD ^= 0x01;
Switch Setup
Original code
#define mSWITCH1_MASK 0x04
#define mSWITCH2_MASK 0x08 <- Delete
#define mSWITCH3_MASK 0x10 <- Delete
#define mSWITCH4_MASK 0x20 <- Delete
#define mSWITCH_MASK 0x3C <- Change to 0x04
After Editing for the module
#define mSWITCH1_MASK 0x04
#define mSWITCH_MASK 0x04
3.6.4.3 Header file Modification for Z-Stack Applications
If compiling for a Z-Stack application, the header file OnBoard.h needs to be edited. This file is located
at:
F8W\FS-1.0-1.0.0-RC2\Z-Stack\ZMain.
The Z-Stack uses this header file within the application framework, so the LED and SWITCH definitions
cannot simply be deleted or the project will not build. Instead, they can just be set to 0 so that no action
is taken if they attempt to be used.
It is important to note that the Z-Stack demo applications use the switches for various uses. But since
some switches are not available on the PAN802154, these switch Macros must be set to 0 (deleting the
LED macros will cause the Z-Stack to not compile).

LED Macros
Original code
#define LED_NONE 0x00
#define LED1 0x01
#define LED2 0x02 <-- Set to 0
#define LED3 0x04 <-- Set to 0
#define LED4 0x08 <-- Set to 0
#define LED_ALL (LED1 | LED2 | LED3 | LED4) <-- Delete LED2,3,4
After Editing for the module, the code shall be
#define LED_NONE 0x00
#define LED1 0x01
#define LED2 0x00
#define LED3 0x00

4 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1: What is the LR/WPAN PAN802154HAR00 Panasonic Module?
A: The PAN802154 is a low rate / low power communication radio module adapting from the Freescale
SARD platform. It is fully 802.15.4 compatible with a Freescale™ ZigBee Protocol stack. It has 1 Push-
button switch, 1 LED, 1 RS-232 port, general-purpose header with 6 digital I/O and 2 analog inputs for
A/D conversion (The 2 analog inputs can be used as Digital I/Os). The PAN802154 also has on board
antenna for cost reduction and meets FCC requirements.
Q2: Does my end product have to get FCC certification and ZigBee certification if we use the
Module?
A: Although the PAN802154 is already tested at Panasonic factory for FCC compliance, the end product
will need to be certified as an end consumer item. Ditto for the ZigBee compliance for your specific end
product Application SW.
Q3: Does the ZigBee stack come with the PAN802154? What form does it come in and what is
included?
A: Yes. The Freescale ZigBee stack itself is provided in object code form, however, an example for
application framework and operating system environment is provided in source-code form. The Stack is
available for download from the Freescale website.
Q4: Is there any development tool for using the Z-Stack?
A: The Z-Stack has development tools that assist in application development and deployment. The Z-
stack tools are available for the following development purposes.
a.) Z-Tool for debugs
b.) Configurator for embedded application setup and source code generation.
c.) Profile-builder for building custom ZigBee profiles
d.) Z-Network for providing a graphical representation of a ZigBee Network.
Q5: Same question as above, but for 802.15.4 MAC
A: 802.15.4 MAC is separated into a PHY and a MAC layer. The PHY layer is provided in source-code
form. Pre-built libraries are provided for all Freescale’s development platforms. The MAC is provided in
library form only.
Q6: Does the PAN802154 correspond to any Freescale Development Platform?
A: The PAN802154 adapts the Freescale™’s SARD development platform. The part number for the
SARD board is DIG536-2, and the design can be found on Freescale’s website. The PAN802154
contains only 1 push-button switch and 1 LED, whereas the SARD board has 4 switches and 4 LEDs.
The PAN802154 has an extra signal goes to the RS-232 chip to enable sleep-mode on the RS-232 chip
to save power.

Doc Number: Rev A3 25
Q7: What compiler is used for ZigBee application development?
A: Metrowerks CodeWarrior Development Studio for HC (S) 08 64K Compiler is the compiler. Libraries
and source code projects provided by Freescale™ are compatible with this compiler. The compiler can
be found on Freescale’s website at www.freescale.com. The 64K-compiler upgrade is needed to
compile the full ZigBee stack.
Q8: Do the PAN802154s come with any software loaded onto them?
A: The modules will come loaded with a Bootloader (Engineering samples may contain sample
applications). The Bootloader allows software to be downloaded to the PAN802154 through the serial
port. A command-line interface to this Bootloader is provided by Freescale™ and available for
download.
Q9: Is any special hardware needed to load code to the ZigBee modules?
A: Loading of software can be done through a standard serial port connected to a PC and Freescale’s
serial Bootloader application (Freescale’s specific bootloader.s19 file must be downloaded into module’s
flash before this feature can be used). File format for this loading is Motorola s-record (S19) files. If
more control of software loading and flash erasing is desired; a hardware debugger is available from
www.pemicro.com. Part number is BDM-MULTILINK (uses pc’s parallel port) or USB-ML-12 (uses pc’s
USB port).
Q10: What programming language is used for application programming?
A: Standard C is used to write the embedded applications. Some assembly can be used for speed-
critical sections of code.
Q11: What are the power supply requirements?
A: For wireless communication without using the RS-232, the power supply voltage must be between
2.2 and 3.4 volts DC. With RS-232 operation, the supply voltage must be between 3 and 3.4 volts DC.
Q12: What distance can be expected for wireless communication?
A: Line of sight communication between two modules can be as far as 200 meters. With a few stucco
walls, in a building environment the distance between the two modules could be as good as 30 meters.
Q13: Describe the general-purpose I/O header?
A: The PAN802154 contains a 10-pin general purpose I/O header. This header provides up to 8 digital
I/O. Two of the digital I/O pins can also be used as analog inputs to the analog-to-digital converter in the
MCU. Power and Ground are also provided on this header.
Q14: What is the baud rate for the serial port?
A: The baud-rate is programmable.
LR/WPAN PAN802154HAR Application Notes
Doc Number: Rev A3 26
Q15: What kind of battery life is expected?
A: The battery-life for the PAN802154 is entirely dependent on the application. In applications that only
require only a few transmissions per hour, batteries may last several years, alternately, in applications
that require continuous transmissions batteries may only last a few months.
Q16: How big is the Freescale ZigBee stack?
A: Version 1.0 stack size is dependent on the device type. Below is a simple table for current sizes of
ZigBee stack + 802.15.4 MAC, including security. More code-size reduction efforts are taking place.
Coordinator: 54,714 bytes
Router: 51,705 bytes
Node: 43,053 bytes
Note that with this code size, for the GT60 MCU a fair amount of ROM (equals to 60Kbytes minus the
amount used above for each type) is still available from the Flash to store the application program. The
above code size is expected to be substantially smaller in future releases.
Q17: Can I use the PAN802154 with another protocol stack other than the Freescale ZigBee
stack?
A: Yes. As long as the replaceable stack is compatible with the Freescale provided 802.15.4 PHY /
MAC; and it is also compiled for the GT60 MCU and MC13193 Transceiver.
Q18: Can I use the PAN802154 with the SMAC only for my simple legacy system?
A: Yes. For simple legacy application program, you can just use the SMAC only.
