CC2530 secondary IEEE Address

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2530, Z-STACK

Hi,

How can i configure a zstack project to use the secondary IEEE (MAC) Address instead of the primary.

Regards, Hendrik

    What do you mean secondary IEEE address? Mac address is IEEE address, you have network address...

    Yes, what i mean is the secondary IEEE address, which is programmable and stored in the flash memory. My problem is, that i want to use the Elpotronic GangPro Flash programmer for mass production. It has feature to set the secondary Address.

    So i want my device to identify itself in the network by this secondary IEEE Address instead of the promary, which is unchangeable in each CC2530 IC.

    Ah, I haven't known for that secondary mac address until now. Now I know what you are talking about but I don't know the answer, sorry.

    Just one question, why do you want to use secondary, why not primary?

    For mass production we need read out (or write an individual) IEEE address for each device, to identify the devices later. This should be done in one step with uploading the firmware.

    We use a Flash programmer, which is able write the firmware into 6 devices simultaneous. This Programmer has also ability to store an individual IEEE address in the flash of each device. Unfortunately this programmer is not able to read the primary IEEE address (because it is not located in the flash).

    Hello Hendrik,

    Please refer to the document "Z-Stack User's Guide - CC2530DB" at C:\Texas Instruments\ZStack-CC2530-2.5.0\Documents\CC2530 after installing the Z-Stack.

    It explains how Z-Stack Selects the IEEE address of the device i.e. Z-Stack uses the following four-level hierarchy to determine the IEEE address that will be used for the device when it operates:
    1.Read from Z-Stack non-volatile memory
    2. Look-up from Secondary IEEE location
    3. Look-up from Primary IEEE location
    4.Create temporary using random number generation

    The document provides a detailed explanation. Thanks

    Thank you. Thats the procedure i was looking for.
