Ember Corporation develops ZigBee wireless networking technology that enable
companies involved in energy technologies—enertech—to help buildings and
homes consume less energy, operate more efficiently, and keep people
comfortable, safe and secure. Ember low-power wireless technology can be
embedded in potentially any device to be part of a self-organizing mesh network.
Ember is headquartered in Boston and has its radio development center in Cam-
bridge, England, and distributors worldwide. The company is a promoter and
Board member of the ZigBee Alliance and its platform is the “Golden Suite” for
802.15.4/ZigBee interoperability testing.
CTS flow control. The interface exposes a serialized version of Ember’s
EmberZNet PRO API. All EmberZNet PRO network functionality is available,
along with additional functionality such as a system battery monitor and
a settable wakeup timer. The EM260 handles all processing and timing
intensive tasks, such as AES-128 encryption, relaying packets, and handling
all aspects of the ZigBee protocol, leaving the customer’s microcontroller free
to implement even the most timing critical applications. The ability to run the
application on the microcontroller of choice, using tools that customers are
already used to enables rapid application development and obviates the
need for porting of applications to other microcontrollers, thereby reducing
barriers to deployment of products.
Power
Applications requiring years of battery life take advantage of the EM260’s
low operating and sleep currents and the integrated EmberZNet PRO
networking library to easily incorporate short activity cycles. The EM260’s
integrated voltage regulator supports a wide range of operating voltages
that allows hardware to be optimized for use with lithium-ion or alkaline
batteries, without additional circuitry.

Development
The EM260’s serialized network interface is available with generic host-
side source-code level drivers for SPI and UART implementations. Select
microcontroller families will have hardware-specific source code drivers
available. Application development can be performed in the customer’s
microcontroller of choice, using their tool-chain of choice. Debugging
can be performed using standard ICE or JTAG type tools for the chosen
microcontroller. In addition, the EM260 is supported by InSight Desktop,
which provides network level debugging to quickly identify complicated bugs
that can’t be caught by examining a single node. InSight Desktop will also
provide EM260 users with a trace of the calls made over the serial connection
to help identify issues in the communication between the EM260 and the
host microcontroller.
The EM260 provides a serialized interface to EmberZNet PRO, which is
Ember’s widely used and well-tested fourth generation embedded mesh
networking API, providing a smooth transition for existing users of Ember’s
previous generation software and guaranteeing a well supported and low
risk introduction for first-time users.
