Introduction#

The Zigbee EmberZNet stack supports the ability to build NCP applications in the Simplicity Studio IDE, with customizations for target hardware, initialization, main loop processing, event definition and handling, and host/NCP command extensions. This application note describes how to configure a customized NCP application using the Zigbee EmberZNet 8x stack for EFR32 devices.

If you are not familiar with using Simplicity Studio to configure an example application and then build the application image and load it and a bootloader onto a device, refer to Zigbee EmberZNet Quick-Start Guide for SDK 7.x and Higher and the online Simplicity Studio User’s Guide.

A PIN tool is available that allows you to modify peripheral configurations, including pin settings. You can access the tool through the Project Configurator Tools tab. See the Simplicity Studio User’s Guide for more information.
