  1. ZIGBEE/IEEE 802.15.4 PACKET ANALYZER EC518 – Team 2 – Executive Presentation Nathan Blagrove Jing Cheng Matthew Hilt

  2. Introduction • The IEEE 802.15.4 standard is designed to enable low cost, power, and data rates in wireless sensor and control networks while ensuring reliable communication. • Our goal is to develop a packet analyzer for use in development and analysis of ZigBee and other IEEE 802.15.4 based wireless networks. • The primary users of this system will be developers working with the ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 protocol.

  3. ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 - Applications • The following examples demonstrate the importance of the ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 standard: • Automation and control: home, factory, warehouse • Monitoring: safety, health, environment • Situational awareness and precision asset location (PAL): military actions, firefighter operations, autonomous manifesting, and real-time tracking of inventory. • Entertainment: learning games, interactive toys

  4. Project Goals • The primary aim is to provide a network packet analyzer with the following characteristics: • Captures IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee network traffic • Formats and Displays packet data on a PC • Low Cost • Small Size • Focus of project planning is the Software components; Hardware is generally complete.

  5. Hardware Overview • Atmel ARM7 Based USB MCU • 256K Flash • 64K RAM • Atmel 802.15.4 SPI Radio • JTAG Debug Port • USB Full-Speed Device (Type-A ‘STICK’) • Chip Antenna

  6. Hardware Block Diagram • Please take a look at the actual prototype hardware as it is passed around.

  7. Software Components • MCU/Radio Embedded Software • Capture IEEE 802.15.4 wireless radio communication • Decrypt and/or format data as needed • Transmit data to PC through USB • PC Host Driver Software • Allow communication with the packet analyzer via USB • Feeds the data received from the packet analyzer to the GUI Plug-in for display. • PC Network Trace GUI Plug-in (Wireshark) • Receives data from the host driver software • Provide end users with visual representation of the data captured by the packet analyzer hardware

  8. Graphical User Interface (GUI) • The packet analyzer will target product designers aiming to leverage the capabilities of low-cost/low-bandwidth networks, including those intended to be organized in a mesh topology. • The packet analyzer will provide users with a simple, reliable tool with which to visualize RF packet data transmitted on a network.

  9. Stakeholders • Management Team • First major company project; will set the tone and expectations for projects to come. • Development Team • Similar to management. Success from the engineering perspective will set a positive tone moving forward. • End Users • Positive acceptance of the product by customers is critical. • Functionality, Quality, and Cost must be well balanced. • Investors • As an early-stage venture, all equity holders are closely involved with the progress of the company and its’ projects.

  10. Project Deliverables • Requirements Specification – (3/27/09) • Specification provided to customer and receives customer approval. • MCU and Radio Firmware– (5/7/09) • Passes unit testing and QA performed to confirm functionality matches requirements specification. • PC Host Driver Software – (5/8/09) • Passes unit testing and QA performed to confirm functionality matches requirements specification. • PC Network Trace GUI Plug-in Software– (5/12/09) • Passes unit testing and QA performed to confirm functionality matches requirements specification. • Documentation for Users – (5/18/09) • Covers each of the primary subsystems, overall system operation and usage, and any relevant errata. • Market-Ready Analyzer System with Documentation– (5/18/09) • All firmware and software components are integrated, tested, and verified against requirements specification. Fully functional system delivered to customer with documentation.

  11. Schedule – Work Breakdown Structure

  12. Schedule – Gantt Chart

  13. Schedule – Completion Time • Project Completion Time Calculated to be 75 days • Estimate a contingency time of 34 days over calculated schedule • Based on a staff of 7 full-time and part-time workers

  14. External Milestones • Deliver Requirements Specification – (3/27/09) • Specification provided to customer and receives customer approval. • Demonstrate Radio Packet Reception – (4/13/09) • All packets can be received and decoded (if applicable) by radio on USB-stick and transmitted to the PC over USB for display of the packet data. • Demonstrate USB Functionality – (4/21/09) • Data is successfully transmitted between the USB-stick and the PC. • Demonstrate Display of Packet Data through GUI – (4/30/09) • Packet data can be displayed, saved, loaded, decoded, and filtered through GUI. • Demonstrate Complete System – (5/4/09) • End-to-end functionality of packet analyzer will be provided. Packets will be received and decoded (if applicable) on USB-stick, then transmitted over USB to PC host driver software which will provide received packets to GUI plug-in for display, saving, decoding, or filtering. • Completion of System Testing – (5/5/09) • All integration tests executed satisfactory by test group. • Deliver System to Quality Assurance – (5/5/09) • Fully functional tested system is provided to quality assurance. • Completion of Quality Assurance– (5/14/09) • Quality Assurance verifies all system functionality against requirements specification. • Deliver Market-Ready Analyzer System with Documentation – (5/18/09) • Tested and verified fully functional system delivered to customer with documentation.

  15. Staffing Plan

  19. Resource Usage Statistics

  20. Risk Evaluation and Management • Scheduling and/or staffing shortfalls • Team building, provide friendly working environment. • Agreements/contracts at a personnel level. • Cross training between team members. • Packet Analyzer hardware delivery delays • Reach delivery contract with the hardware supplier. • Possible to develop certain firmware components without hardware. • Packet Analyzer hardware design flaws • Hold hardware design reviews. • Simulations. • Test basic communication blocks of the hardware during early firmware development stage.

  21. Risk Evaluation and Management • External dependency on Wireshark • Establish communication channels with Wireshark support at an earlier stage. • Research the Wireshark forum for known issues to anticipate scheduling impacts. • Real-time performance deficiencies • Hardware components review during the design phase. Communicate firmware requirements with the hardware design team. • Firmware instrumentation/fine tuning.
