RTOS/CC1350: What if i don't use CC1350 collector and IoT gateway application ?

Part Number: CC1350

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Hi all,

I have successfully started collector and sensor application and i am getting data on localhost.

Here is my question,

Can i use any other vendors gateway application, instead of ti's gateway application.

what if i use others gateway application, will it support ti's 15.4 stack?

my 2nd question is :

right now we have sensor nodes using CC1350.

can i use any other vendors controller as my sensor node for same 15.4 stack ?

thanks,

Pratik

  • 1. In TI 15.4 GW reference design, CC13xx acts as coprocessor and you can try to porting GW code to platform you want to make it work.
    2. I don't think it's feasible to use any other vendors controller as your sensor node for TI 15.4 stack.
  • Hi YK Chen, thanks for your response.
    I have few more questions.

    In my Sub GHz network, will the below setup work:

    Setup-1
    a. All the sensor nodes are CC1350 based nodes and running TI 15.4 stack. (i.e 868MHz, IEEE 802.15.4)
    b. The concentrator/gateway device which supports 868MHz and IEEE 802.15.4G standard. Please note that this is not a TI device

    If the above setup can work, are there any example use cases available?


    Setup-2
    a. Few of the sensor nodes are CC1350 based nodes, running TI 15.4 stack(i.e 868MHz, IEEE 802.15.4) and few other nodes are non-TI devices but support IEEE 802.15.4G and runs on 868MHz frequency. Ex: ST S2-LP.
    b. The concentrator/gateway device is a TI CC1350 based device and runs TI 15.,4 stack. (i.e 868MHz, IEEE 802.15.4)

    Will TI concentrator/gateway detect other Sub GHz nodes, if it supports the IEEE 802.15.4 standard and runs on 868 MHz?
    If the above setup can work, are there any example use cases available?

    Setup-3
    a. Few of the sensor nodes are CC1350 based nodes, running TI 15.4 stack(i.e 868MHz, IEEE 802.15.4) and few other nodes are non-TI devices but support IEEE 802.15.4G and runs on 868MHz frequency. Ex: ST S2-LP.
    b. The concentrator/gateway device which supports 868MHz and IEEE 802.15.4G standard. Please note that this is not a TI device

    We are trying to understand how inter-operable the TI's Sub GHz solution is. This is important for us as we are planning to develop our products based on TI's solution.

    Thank you.
  • Personal perspective, I don't have other vendor's IEEE 802.15.4G product for testing but I don't think TI 15.4 Stack can work with others since IEEE 802.15.4G is just the fundamental and there are lots of communuication on application side.
  • Hi,

    Given that IEEE 802.15.4 is not a protocol specification but a MAC specification, there is no way for us to ensure interoperability with other vendors IEEE 802.15.4G solution. If you want to ensure other 802.15.4 solutions are inter operable with TI 15.4 Stack you will have to do your own testing and potentially you will need to make modifications to the phy configuration to ensure same channel spacing, data rate, syncword, etc. Also you will have to implement your own application later because this is not specified by IEEE 802.15.4 and each vendor has its own proprietary application layer.
