What's new in SNDEV-260 ZigBee kit release 2.0.0?
Summary of changes in release 2.0.0
New features
The SNDEV-260 ZigBee kit release 2.0.0 allows a ZigBee network to be set up using the included hardware and software components. It adds support for the EmberZNet 3.3.1 (software version: 3.3 build 25) PRO stack, for the STM32F10xxx V2.0 firmware library and also for the STM32F103x HAL APIs for sleep management. The building system is designed to allow the selection of the microcontroller (STM32F103x, STR71xF, STR75xF or STR91xF) and the rebuilding of the library to match the required microcontroller features. The ST7LITE39 microcontroller is no longer supported.
Corrections/changes
None.

Known problems/limitations for SNDEV-260 ZigBee kit
STM32F103x and STR7x-STR91x microcontrollers problems/limitations
The PC is not able to recognize multi instances of STR71x-9x USB virtual COM. Issue analysis: The PC is able to recognize only a single STR71x-STR9x USB device when plugged it on a PC USB port. When connecting a second STR71x-STR9x USB device to another PC USB port, the PC cannot not recognize it.
The PC does not enumerate the STR711 USB device when resetting the REva. Issue analysis: When using the STR71x virtual COM on the STR711 microcontroller, when resetting the board (through the REva board RESET button), the host PC does not detect that the USB device is no longer connected since there is a line (the D+) which is externally pulled up. No software workaround is possible: we are forced to power off/on the board to enable the PC to renumerate the USB device.
The Windows USB CDC driver behaves differently depending on the PC Operating System.

Issue analysis: The Windows USB CDC driver seems to behave differently depending on the PC operating system. To be better investigated. STM32 sleepy sensor does not support the USB virtual COM communication. Issue analysis: The workaround is to use the UART serial port as a communication channel. Button management is not smooth. Issue analysis: To be investigated.

Known problems/limitations for InSight Desktop
When using the InSightTM Desktop with Windows 2000, certain problems are observed when uploading the firmware into the SN260 processor. In this case, the utility em2xx_load.exe can be directly used opening a Windows command prompt.
