Introduction
The RZ600 kit is an evaluation kit for the Atmel AT86RF family of
radio frequency devices. The family contains the two 2.4GHz device
AT86RF230 and AT86RF231. These are highly acclaimed networking
devices within low power personal area networks. In addition to
this the world’s first IEEE 802.15.4 enabled sub gigahertz radio is
provided – the AT86RF212. With the kit you also receive two AVR UC3
based host nodes that can be used to evaluate a point to point
network connection. That being said; the RZ600 radio boards sport
an Atmel standardized 10-pin connector that will enable the RF
boards to be connected to any AVR microcontroller. A wide range of
the standard Atmel AVR design tools have the host end of the
standardized 10-pin connector – so as a customer you will be able
to evaluate Atmel radio transceivers in virtually any application
segment.
The RZ600 kit enables RF4CE, IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee® and 6lowPAN
network technologies to run on the full Atmel portfolio of low
power AVR microcontrollers.
