Product details
Overview
13234DSK-BDM from Freescale Semiconductor is a developer starter kit for the MC13234CHT 802.15.4 System-on-Chip, integrating a 2.4 GHz transceiver, HCS08 MCU, and I/O in a single PiP package. It supports IEEE 802.15.4 MAC, SMAC, SynkroRF, and BeeStack Consumer (ZigBee RF4CE) protocol stacks, and ships with BeeKit GUI, CodeWarrior Special Edition IDE, and an out-of-box Range Demo application for wireless range validation.
For engineers reviewing the 13234DSK-BDM datasheet, 13234DSK-BDM pinout, 13234DSK-BDM application, or 13234DSK-BDM equivalent, this kit delivers pre-integrated hardware-software tooling for rapid prototyping of low-power, battery-operated remote control and home entertainment control systems compliant with ZigBee RF4CE and IEEE 802.15.4 standards.
Technical Context
The 13234DSK-BDM is built around the MC13234CHT SoC - an 8-bit HCS08-based Platform-in-a-Package device operating at 2.4 GHz with integrated RF transceiver, flash memory, and analog/digital peripherals. It targets cost-sensitive consumer electronics requiring certified RF4CE interoperability.
Hardware includes modular reference boards (1323X-MRB and 1323X-RCM), USB Multilink debugger, LCD with soft-touch buttons, 36-key keypad, IR transmitter/receiver, digital accelerometer, gyroscope, buzzer, and printed F antenna - all configured to demonstrate RF4CE Home Entertainment Control use cases.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the 13234DSK-BDM?
The 13234DSK-BDM is a developer starter kit designed to evaluate and prototype wireless remote control applications using the MC13234CHT SoC. It enables rapid implementation of ZigBee RF4CE-compliant home entertainment control systems, including TV, set-top box, and audio/video receiver remote functionality, with preloaded firmware and GUI-based configuration via BeeKit.
Which protocol stacks are supported by the 13234DSK-BDM?
The 13234DSK-BDM supports BeeStack Consumer (ZigBee RF4CE), SMAC, SynkroRF, and the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC stack. These are delivered through Freescale's BeeKit Wireless Connectivity Toolkit, allowing developers to configure network settings graphically and deploy applications targeting point-to-point, star, or proprietary monitoring topologies without low-level radio coding.
Does the 13234DSK-BDM include debugging hardware?
Yes, the 13234DSK-BDM includes a USB Multilink interface for flash programming and in-circuit debugging of the MC13234CHT SoC. It is fully compatible with CodeWarrior Development Studio for Microcontrollers and supports BDM (Background Debug Mode) for real-time hardware inspection and firmware iteration during 13234DSK-BDM development.
What out-of-box demonstration does the 13234DSK-BDM provide?
The 13234DSK-BDM ships with a pre-programmed Range Demo application that validates wireless link performance between two units. This demo measures maximum operational distance under line-of-sight conditions and verifies basic 802.15.4 packet transmission/reception - enabling immediate RF characterization before custom application development begins on the 13234DSK-BDM platform.
Is the 13234DSK-BDM RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 13234DSK-BDM is RoHS compliant as confirmed in Freescale's official development kit documentation (BRIEEE802154DKIT REV 2). All PCBs, components, and assembled modules within the 13234DSK-BDM kit meet EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements for restriction of hazardous substances.
