I am planning to buy CC2530ZDK-ZNP-MINI Kit for my project on sensor networks as it has most of the sensors that I need but I found out from the TI website that they are not supporting these kits anymore. Does anybody know why TI stopped supporting them??
Thanks in advance
Now they have the CC2530 booster pack for the MSP430 or Stellaris Launchpad. So you will want to use these, because CC2530ZNP mini kit is discouraged for new developments.

I need to use an STM32F4 MCU with Laird BL651 Bluetooth 5.0 module.
As I realized this module is not the regular simple AT Command module, but rather a Cortex-M microcontroller (Nordic nRF52810) with BT Stack. I have a 1.5 year experience with STM32 and the Cube firmware package, but have no experience either Bluetooth 5.0 nor Nordic products. So my question is basically, how to start the developement. I have found Nordic SDK but I am clueless, what information I will need hierinafter and where can I found sample codes.
Looking forward for the replies.
Thanks
Samu
As with most embedded development, your first step is to get any simple (prewritten) example to work, and then after that start either tailoring that example to your use case or creating a new one from scratch. For the BL651 you'll need to read up a bit on the Nordic SDK as well as Bluetooth Low Energy in general. Below are some useful references that will help you get started:-
Bluetooth Low Energy References
Bluetooth Low Energy: A Primer

I hope this helps.
i am trying to communicate with i2c slaves on raspberry pi 2 with Windows 10 IoT Build 14393 (Background Application C#).
I cannot find the nemspace Windows.Devices.I2c anywhere. I have referenced Windows 10 Iot Extensions in different versions.
Can anyone point me to why this is?
UPDATE:
Resolved. See answer (and vote please ;)
If you have older / multiple versions installed of Windows Software Developer Kit, there are issues with namespaces apparently.
Fix: Remove the old installations and/or make a repair of the current version of Windows Software Developer Kit.
Please refer to MSDN:

recently I bought a little pcb with TI CC2530 ZigBee Chip and antenna on it on ali express with antenna. Here the link:

Does anybody know which ZigBee Stack is installed on the chip and whether there is a possibility to install another Stack?
Thanks in advance,
Florian
Which varsion of the Z-Stack was installed on this board - nobody kwowns.
For install new version of Z-Stack and your developed app on it stack, you need CC Debugger for flashing and debugging.
For quick start see CC Debugger User Guide
For future - it's a bad idea to buy chineese non-original and noname development kits because it is too hard for quick start and learning. Better buy original kits with brilliant documentation and good ecosystem.
I am looking forward to build a zigbee home automation system for which i require a zigbee module and its SDK. Atmel is one of the few vendors that provides SDK for download.
Could you please tell if Atmel kit AT256RFR2-EK that acts as a wireless node in Zigbee networks worth its huge price?
This site is intended for programming-related questions, and not for making recommendations on toolkits or libraries. I'm really not sure where you'd go for reviews of the various ZigBee radio manufacturers.
If you want to do ZigBee HA, buy commercial products and integrate them. The dev kits are targeting companies planning to build large volumes of product, and the up front cost of the dev kit is a drop in the bucket compared to hardware and software engineering costs.
If you're a hobbyist looking to tinker, just get some XBee modules and build a proprietary network.
I'm working on a bluetooth le project that will bind to android and iOS. I looked at the TI CC2540 dev kit, but I am not sure what I need to do to prototype with it. Are there alternatives to the IAR compiler? If not, how easy/friendly is it to push firmware/profiles? Can I change the CC2540 module roles (have one as a peripheral and one as a broadcaster)?
Essentially, can I use the CC2540 dev kit (with IAR if need be) and program write a really simple application that with use the GATT protocol and stack?
The kit that you have quoted is simply a demo that helps you to evaluate the TI solution. The two devices are programmed with two different firmwares: the first one works as a Peripheral while the other one works as a Central.
TI provides you also a large number of demos with related source code, hence using IAR you can develop your application.
