Building a Customized NCP Application with Zigbee EmberZNet 8.x#

NOTE: This section replaces AN1320: Building a Customized NCP Application with Zigbee EmberZNet 8.x. Further updates to this application note will be provided here.

The ability to build a customized NCP application image was introduced in EmberZNet PRO 5.4.1. Version 8.0 of the Zigbee EmberZNet SDK, used with Simplicity Studio, introduced a component-based project architecture that replaced AppBuilder. This application note provides instructions for configuring various aspects of a component-based NCP application using the tools included in Simplicity Studio.

If you are working with Zigbee EmberZNet SDK v 6.10.x or lower, see AN1010: Building a Customized NCP Application for this information.

Key Points#

• Instructions cover starting from an example or from a new file.

• Customizations include target hardware, initialization, main loop processing, event definition and handling, and host/NCP command extensions.
