CC1312R7: queries related to production grade implementation and deployment strategies

Part Number: CC1312R7
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1312R,

Hello,

I'm having queries on CC1312R & CC1312R7.

As I am in mid of development and having couple of queries related to production grade implementation and deployment stratagies.

1) AS TI doesn't recommend PYSpinel for production grade, then what should be the ideal approach for the Border Router to Gateway/Cloud interface MCU/platform?


2) As it is a mesh network, for deployment site survey and planning is crucial, for that is TI recommending any tools for that? which supports the WISUN topologies?


3) for the NMS(network management), do TI is having any reference or recommendation to use with given WISUN SDK?

4) Is there any tool which TI recommends for Noise or noise floor measurement of surroundings from the Border Router?

5) Any direction/update on the Contiki with WISUN (CC1312), if it is known?

6) can we run the wfantund & pyspinel both parallel ? is there any guide or getting started available for the same?

    Hi KD,

    We have indeed seen pyspinel used for evaluation and application development. If deploying a python based(interpreted and not compiled) application is not an issue, pyspinel is okay for application development. 

    1. The alternate to pyspinel for host application development is wfantund, which provides an ipv6 interface to the border router on a linux host.  You can find the repo here: https://github.com/TexasInstruments/ti-wisunfantund

    2. To understand the radio phy performance in the deployment site, you can use SMART RF Studio for evaluation. The idea is to perform quick performance(PER) testing in the site to get an estimated single hop range. 

    https://www.ti.com/tool/SMARTRFTM-STUDIO

    If you want to do some quick wisun network setup and testing, this SimpleLink Academy helps with that: dev.ti.com/.../wisun_fundamentals.html

     3. The customer is free to use their own network management software. We do however, have a Linux webserver example that can be used as a starting point for development. Please find the example in wfantund repository linked above.

    4.  SmartRF studio cab be used for this purpose. Using a device in the continuous RX mode can be used to measure the noise floor on a particular frequency.

    5. No, Contiki and Wi-SUN are two different mesh solutions, I do not foresee any interoperability between the two networks. 

    6. At the moment, this is not something we tested or this is not something we saw as a requirement. But I will consult RnD and get back to you. 

    Regards,
    Sid
