zzh Stick

Available from the Electrolama ShopBuy zzh

zzhโ€”short for zig-a-zig-ah!โ€”is a compact USB radio development board built around the Texas Instruments CC2652R wireless microcontroller. It combines the radio, a CH340 USB-to-serial bridge, a removable antenna connection and access to the device's bootloader and debug interface.

Hardwareโ€‹

  • Texas Instruments CC2652R wireless microcontroller
  • CH340 USB-to-serial bridge
  • External antenna connection
  • Active-low BSL button on DIO_13
  • Five-pin cJTAG/debug connector
  • User-visible test/status LED

The USB-to-serial bridge presents the CC2652R UART to the host. This makes the board suitable for TI ZNP coordinator firmware, stand-alone router firmware and general CC2652R development.

Bootloader and debug accessโ€‹

The ROM serial bootloader is entered by holding the BSL button while applying power. The compact debug connector exposes the cJTAG signals; the adapter design in the project repository converts it to a standard 10-pin Cortex connector.
