ETRX357DVK – Development Kit Functional Summary
Devkit Features
ZigBee Networking “Out-of-the-Box”
Low cost evaluation platform for ZigBee wireless mesh
networking
Designed to set up a ZigBee mesh network in only a few
minutes without the need for any embedded software
The freely downloadable Telegesis Terminal Software
application offers an easy to use interface to the modules on
the development boards.
Also works with 3
rd
party terminal software like
HyperTerminal.
Broad selection of modules allows range testing of any
possible module/antenna combination.
Seamlessly Integrates into the Silicon Labs InSight Toolchain
Development boards can be used as hardware platform for
trials
Battery option allows easy prototyping of end devices

Module Features
Based on the Silicon Labs EM357 single chip ZigBee/
IEEE802.15.4 solutions
2.4GHz ISM Band
Industry’s first ARM® Cortex-M3 based family of ZigBee
modules
192kB flash and 12kB of RAM
24 general-purpose I/O lines including analogue inputs (all
GPIOs of the EM357 are accessible)

modes
The
Telegesis
ETRX357-DVK
development kit is an ideal starting point
for development and evaluation of the
ETRX357 series low power 2.4GHz
ZigBee modules.
The ETRX357 modules are based on the
third generation Silicon Labs EM357
chipset offering the industry’s highest
wireless networking performance and
application code space at the lowest
power consumption.
T
he modules’ unique AT-style command
line interface allows designers to quickly
integrate ZigBee technology without
complex
software
engineering.
For
custom application development the
ETRX357 development kits integrate with
ease
into
Silicon
Labs
’
InSight
development environment.
