This is an open-source bridge between the Zigbee/802.15.4 radio interface on a Texas Instruments CC2531 USB dongle and a host computer. While other solutions to communicate with Zigbee networks using this dongle exist (like TI's Zigbee Network Processor), they often attempt to do all Zigbee handling on the dongle's internal 8051 chip.
Zigbee Radio Bridge aims to offload as much as possible onto the computer, and have the CC2531 act as only a dumb radio slave.
At this point, the rough implementation appears to work, but there is nothing actually using this. However, feel free to use this in Zigbee related projects.
Zigbee Radio Bridge uses Contiki OS for it's Radio driver and infrastructure. Furthermore it uses the Small Device C Compiler (SDCC) as the compiler, but is quite picky about which version it will work on. The 3rdparty directory contains scripts to get and set up working versions of Contiki and SDCC, as well as set up aliases such that Python 2 is always used (Contiki is picky about this).
To compile, execute the following commands:
cd "ZigbeeRadioBridge"
./3rdparty/compileSdcc.sh
./3rdparty/getContiki.sh
source ./3rdparty/setupEnvironment.sh
make
Afterwards you should have a file named "radio_bridge.hex" that you can flash to the dongle using cc-tool.
