CC2530: Code running on CC2531 but not embedded design

Michael Erington

Part Number: CC2530
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2531, , Z-STACK

I can load my hex code into a CC2531 USB dongle code and run my application with this tool. However when I install a hex file built in the same compiler with CC2530 selected and load this into a CC2530 embedded chip my application stalls when attempting to initialize the Zigbee chip.

My gateway is a windows machine, I am connecting to the CC2530 via UART. Is there anything else I need to do in the hex file to enable functionality with the CC2530?

Thank You

Can you specify which Z-Stack version and example you download to CC2530 and doesn’t work?

Alongside what YK is saying, there are CC2530 and CC2531 configurations for the ZNP project inside both Z-Stack 1.2.2a and 3.0.1 and you should make sure that you are using the correct source accordingly.

I am using Z-stack Home 1.2.2a.44539

The file that is not running is CC2530ZNP-SB.hex

This is located at Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a.44539\Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a.44539\Projects\zstack\ZNP\CC253x\bin

This is just the Boot Code hex image, if you want to use it then it will need to be appended to the Application Code hex image. Please refer to the Serial Boot Loader for CC2530 document from Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a.44539\Documents\CC2530

You other option is to build the CC2530 - ProdHex configuration and use the output CC2530ZNP-Prod.hex file found in Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a.44539\Projects\zstack\ZNP\CC253x\dev

The hex you use is the serial boot loader onlyand you should use hex files in C:\Texas Instruments\Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a.44539\Projects\zstack\ZAP\ZNP-HexFiles
