CC2538: Can Change the device type at the RUN Time

Part Number: CC2538
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

Hi,

Can I change the Zigbee device type at the run time in CC2538.

I mean ZED to ZR  and ZR to ZED change at the run time either stay with old factory settings in network or OK to on-board again.

If this is possible in Z-Stack3.0 please let me know, its great help.

Thank you

    Hi,

    This is not possible with the Z-Stack HA sample applications, mainly because it doesn't really work in the context of a Zigbee network. In a Zigbee network, you would need to factory-new reset a device before "switching" it's device type, effectively making it a new network device, there is no way you could retain the old network configuration.

    The ZNP Z-Stack project does allow for run-time Zigbee logical device type selection, so I suppose you could use this project to design a node that can switch type, but again you would need to factory-new reset the node before you could change it's type.

    Hi JasonB,
    You mean, the device type can change ZC/ZR/ZED, but before change type its mandatory to reset factory if it is in network (if device is not yet connected to any network no need) and change the device type, again on-board to network is it.
    If my understand is write, how can I change the device type after factory reset.
    Thank you

    You can refer to sunmaysky.blogspot.tw/.../set-logical-device-type-to-coordinator.html which shows you how to switch between ZC and ZR in SOC mode. If you need this kind of capability, I would suggest you to use ZAP-ZNP architecture and you can switch to ZED, ZR, or ZC from ZAP when ZAP starts ZNP.

    I am using IAR for CC2538, so in SOC can I do ZED and ZR.
    My need is devices will be always ZED, when my "ZC looks away from or Max device list of ZC exceeds" that time I want to make any one ZED has ZR.
    Our custom devices are under fabrication for development purpose. So, now we can't change the design

    thank you.

    It seems that you want to do this dynamically and the answer is no.

    Hi chen,
    I don't want dynamically,
    While start or restart defining any macros is also good. I am not expecting to change at run-time. any way changing the device type from ZED to ZR in CC2538 is fine. Or by making any changes using UART interface is also fine
    Thank you.

    I tried to change role between ZC and ZR but not ZED. If you need to change between ZED and ZR, the possible way is to use ZNP or your have external flash to store two different FW, one is for ZED and another is for ZR. When you need to switch role, you can reload the FW from external flash to make it.

    My device is ZED, I want to make it an ZR any way with the same image of application.
    So, in the link you shared "sunmaysky.blogspot.in/.../set-logical-device-type-to-coordinator.html
    they are trying between ZC to ZR wrt button press.
    As like I will keep store One master bit in Flash memory, if it is pointing to ZED_Val I will start as ZED else if it is pointing to ZR_Val I will start as ZR.
    Is it work out.

    Hi Chen,
    I tried to make ZR and ZC as like in link you have shared "sunmaysky.blogspot.in/.../set-logical-device-type-to-coordinator.html

    But it always starting as ZC,

    to the "Coordinator project of Sample Light" in "Z-Stack1.2.2a" . Z-stack 3.0 project giving some undefinig errors for the defined functions so I did this.

    I tried to by restarting and /or switching on the board by pressing up-button always starting as ZC

    Thank you

    Hi Chen,

    it seems working now, If I simply start or restart EZ-Mode is blinkig blue LED and Restart by pressing up-butoon is not blinking LED on EZ-Mode

    Please check the capture ans tell me.

    Hi Chen,

    In "Z-Stack1.2.2a  SampleLight End Device" I tried to change from ZED to ZR by making your suggestions to other thread.

    Hi Chen,
    I am facing one more problem all the Z-Stack Home1.2.2a ZED projects I mean Sample Switch and Sample Light are connecting as a ZR with my ZC.
    I tried by reinstalling Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a and debug the project Sample Switch End Device and Sample Light End Device with out changing anything but after connecting with my ZC the Ubiqua Showing it has Router

    please help to gt the ZED project in Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a

    Hi Chen,

    In the "Z-Stack3.0 , Sample Switch End Device OTA Client Image-A with BootLoader" project I made the configuration for both ZED and ZR.

    As like others you suggest, but the One thing making my application to start as Router always and is below one:

    Adding

    "-f $PROJ_DIR$\..\..\..\Tools\CC2538DB\f8wRouter.cfg"  to Options--> C/C++ Compiler --> Extra Options --> Command Line Options

    If I don't add this, I was getting  below error:

    Error[Li005]: no definition for "gLINK_STATUS_JITTER_MASK" [referenced from nwk_util.o(AllDevice.a)]

    I can avoid the above error by adding "E:\raghu\KIKO_PROJECTS\KIKO_POINT\Project\zstack\Libraries\CC2538\bin\EndDevice.a" instaed of "E:\raghu\KIKO_PROJECTS\KIKO_POINT\Project\zstack\Libraries\CC2538\bin\AllDevice.a"
    By making this my device will be always End Device.

    So, for all device configuration I need you help

    Please give me suggestion to override this

    Thank you

    Finally I done with my need.
    Now my device can act as both ZED and ZR. I achieved this with "Z-Stack 3.0", "Sample Switch End Device OTA Client Image-A with Boot Loader"
    Thanks for your valuable support.
