Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG, Z-STACK, CC2430, SIMPLELINK-CC13X2-26X2-SDK
We've recently ported our application to SDK3.30 and are now seeing several new strange behaviors. This is one of them.
Per the attached wire shark capture, you can see a device sending out beacon requests and then it sends an association request, but its asking to associated as a RFD. (See frames 21 - 27)
Our device resets if it associates as the wrong type of device and then tries again.
Eventually it sends an association request as an FFD and then completes the completes the key exchange and runs normally. (See frames 256 - 295)
This was not occurring with the SDK3.20 stack.
Did something change in the way the BDB needs to be set up?
Our device can be either a Coordinator OR Router.
// define to include both coordinator and router capabilities
#define ZSTACK_DEVICE_BUILD (DEVICE_BUILD_COORDINATOR | DEVICE_BUILD_ROUTER)
In the following code, we first make a call to set up the default bdb parameters (MyApp_initParameters)
Then once we know what device type we are (Coordinator or Router) and a user specified PAN_ID, we call MyApp_SetPanId() which calls Zstackapi_bdbStartCommissioningReq() with the desired commissioning_mode.
This is when it starts sending Beacon Requests and for some reason associating as a RFD as demonstrated in the wireshark capture.
Any thought on why this is occurring would be appreciated.
