RTOS/MSP432E401Y: MSP432E4

Part Number: MSP432E401Y
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1350, , CC1310

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

I am attempting to connect a network of sensors to the msp432E401Y launchpad.  I have a cc1350 launchpad running the coprocessor program and am following the README.html file in the MSP432E401Y SimpleLink Plugins Collector folder. Once the collector is running on the MSP432E401Y, a string of collector messages and events appear.  However, when it is time to have another sensor join the network, "collector event: 2" and "collector msg: 11" appears on the screen.  I have not been able to locate these messages and events in the code or documentation.  Is there a reference to these messages somewhere I haven't looked?  Or is there anyone who has attempted this successfully?  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

  • Hello Colten,

    If I understand correctly, you have the "collector" example working with one sensor joining the network. Now you are trying to add a second sensor and you get messages that you don't understand.

    Please confirm and I will try to recreate the scenario.

    I will also find out if there is any documentation available on those messages.

    thanks,

  • I have the MSP432E401Y running the "collector" example, a cc1350 running the "coprocessor" example and connected to the MSP432E4. I have another cc1350 running the "sensor" example but it is not able to join the network when I press the button on the MSP432E4 to allow joining. I am trying to follow the example in TI Resource Explorer example given in the MSP432E401Y SimpleLink SDK Plugins>Connectivity>SimpleLink SDK TI 15.4 Stack>Examples>Development Tools>MSP432>Demos>Collector>TI-RTOS>CCS>Collector>README.html file
  • Hi Colten,

    If you are using the CC1350, you cannot use the precompiled binary given in the /tools/cc13xx_tools/cc1310_cop_firmware/ directory. Instead, you need to import and use the coprocessor example from the v. 1.40.00.10. version of the SDK. Any coprocessor version other than that has not been tested to work with the collector examples on the MSP432/CC3220.

    As for why your CC1350 cannot join the MSP432 collector network, there are a few reasons why this could be the case, assuming that you are using an unmodified collector project.

    1. The CC13xx coprocessor is not functioning correctly.

      Please ensure that in addition to flashing the correct firmware, that you also use the correct set of LP headers, as well as have the appropriate jumpers on both the MSP432 LP and the CC13xx coprocessor. In particular, note the power jumper on the CC13xx.

    2. The collector and the sensor node do not have a compatible config.h

      The config.h controls many sub-1Ghz parameters, and ideally you would have the same settings on both the collector and the sensor. In particular, make sure that the security settings are the same, the channels enabled are the same, and that PAN id are the same.

    3. The sensor node is incompatible with the collector due version incompatibility. Try using the sensor example from SDK version 1.40 or 1.50.

    The debug print statements you get can help with determining where the problem might be at. If everything works correctly, you should get the same sequence specified in the readme file. 

    The numbers you get in the debug prints refer to the enums and defines that are unfortunately a bit scattered about in a few different files, most commonly in the commonDefs.h and the NPIcore.h files.

    Specifically, the collector messages are referring to the CollectorEvent enum in commonDefs.h for 0-10, and then 11-13 are defined in collector.h

    The collector events are referring to the events defined in csf.h

    Let me know if my suggestions above don't work, and you need more debug help.

    Regards,
    Michael
