Other Parts Discussed in Thread: REMOTI

1.In "RemoTI Developer's Guide" document says that the RTI layer implements ZRC , ZID and GDP profiles. I saw in "RemoTI Developer's Guide" scronyms tha GDP is Generic Device Profile, a profile to support compatibility, as well as collect common functionality, between future profiles. But I didn't find more information about this profile. This is not a ZigBee RF4CE profile, is this? What exactly this profile does in sample application? If I want to develop an application for Remote Control using ZRC profile I have to include the GDP profile in my project?

2. I read in "RemoTI Developer'd Guide" document in chapter "1.4.1.3 RCN library" that RCN includes the RF4CE network layer, the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC layer and the radio firmware. I was confused with this sentence because I thought that ZigBee just deals with network and application layers. Could you please explain to me which function that RCN layer have in IEEE 802.15.4 MAC layer and radio firmware?

Hi Jessica,

I am looking at both of your last e2e posts. I will get back to you about them soon.

Hi Jessica,

The ZigBee RF4CE GDP is like a foundation for some of the RF4CE profiles and it defines policies that some profiles must follow. GDP is a requirement if you are using the ZID profile but not if you are using ZRC (unless you are using ZRC 2.0). So in your case, for ZRC you will not need the GDP.

You don't have to do anything with the MAC layer, RCN interfaces with the MAC and radio but everything goes through the network layer.

Let me know if you need more clarification about any of these aspects.

Regards,

Jose

Hi,

Thank you again Jose,

I don't understand too much about ZID profile, because I studied only the ZRC profile, so I just have a notion about ZID profile. Maybe if I had a deeper notion of ZID profile I would understand better GDP profile.

I downloaded from ZigBee Alliance website the ZRC profile version 1.1.0. Is ZRC 2.0 a newer version of ZRC profile?

Best regards,

Jessica Inocencio

Hi Jessica,

Yes, taking a look at the ZID profile will be helpful even though you are developing for the ZRC profile. ZRC 2.0 is a newer version of ZRC.

Hi Jose,

Thank you for your advice, I will study more about ZID profile. ZRC 2.0 is already available for ZigBee Alliance members?

Best regards,

Hi Jessica,

I think they are. At least I have access to some of them on https://docs.zigbee.org/
