Part Number: CC2530
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CSD, CC2592, Z-STACK, CC2591, CC2590

Hello everyone,

I am upgrading my project from z-stack2.5.1.a to z-stack3.0.1.

My end device consist of CC2530 + RFX2401.

I am using P1.1(for RXEN) and P1.2(for TXEN).

I did set #define HAL_PA_LNA and In mac_radio_defs.c

if (paLnaChip == PA_LNA_SE2431L)
{
/* CPS or P0_7 maps closely to the HGM line */
HAL_PA_LNA_RX_HGM();

/* EN or CSD line is controlled via software so setting it high here to start the SE2431L frontend */
HAL_PA_LNA_RX_CSD_HIGH();

/* CTX or P1_1 maps closely to PAEN */
RFC_OBS_CTRL0 = RFC_OBS_CTRL_PA_PD_INV;
OBSSEL1 = OBSSEL_OBS_CTRL0;
}
else if(paLnaChip == PA_LNA_CC2592)
{
/* P1_1 -> PAEN */
RFC_OBS_CTRL0 = RFC_OBS_CTRL_PA_PD_INV;
OBSSEL1 = OBSSEL_OBS_CTRL0;

/* P1_0 -> EN (LNA control) */
RFC_OBS_CTRL1 = RFC_OBS_CTRL_LNAMIX_PD_INV;
OBSSEL0 = OBSSEL_OBS_CTRL1;
}
else
{
/* P1_1 -> PAEN */
RFC_OBS_CTRL0 = RFC_OBS_CTRL_PA_PD_INV;
OBSSEL1 = OBSSEL_OBS_CTRL0;

/* P1_2 -> EN (LNA control) */
RFC_OBS_CTRL1 = RFC_OBS_CTRL_LNAMIX_PD_INV;
OBSSEL2 = OBSSEL_OBS_CTRL1;
}

Then I have one issue.

I think that RF Amplifier don't work.

Because I captured packet of coordinator with packet sniffer , LQI of packet is 5 ~ 30.

I attached sniffer log file.

sniffer_log30.psd

Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Try to use the following code instead of yours.

/* P1_2 -> PAEN */
RFC_OBS_CTRL0 = RFC_OBS_CTRL_PA_PD_INV;
OBSSEL2 = OBSSEL_OBS_CTRL0;

/* P1_1 -> EN (LNA control) */
RFC_OBS_CTRL1 = RFC_OBS_CTRL_LNAMIX_PD_INV;
OBSSEL1 = OBSSEL_OBS_CTRL1;

YK Sir.

Thanks for your reply.
I tried to use above method but LQI isn't changed.

54, /* ackWaitDuration */
FALSE, /* associationPermit */
TRUE, /* autoRequest */
FALSE, /* battLifeExt */
6, /* battLifeExtPeriods */

NULL, /* *pMacBeaconPayload */
0, /* beaconPayloadLength */
MAC_BO_NON_BEACON, /* beaconOrder */
0, /* beaconTxTime */
0, /* bsn */

{0, SADDR_MODE_EXT}, /* coordExtendedAddress */

0, /* dsn */
FALSE, /* gtsPermit */
4, /* maxCsmaBackoffs */

3, /* minBe */
0xFFFF, /* panId */

FALSE, /* rxOnWhenIdle */

MAC_SO_NONE, /* superframeOrder */
0x01F4, /* transactionPersistenceTime */

FALSE, /* securityEnabled */

/* Proprietary */

MAC_CHAN_11, /* logicalChannel */
{0, SADDR_MODE_EXT}, /* extendedAddress */
1, /* altBe */
MAC_BO_NON_BEACON, /* deviceBeaconOrder */
0, /* power savings for rf4ce */
0, /* default is frame Ver is always 0,
except for security enabled packets */
0, /* diagsRxCrcPass */
0, /* diagsRxCrcFail */
0, /* diagsRxBcast */
0, /* diagsTxBcast */
0, /* diagsRxUcast */
0, /* diagsTxUcast */
0, /* diagsTxUcastRetry */
0 /* diagsTxUcastFail */
};

I update valeu of phyTransmitPower from 0 to 19.

But result is same.

Did it work on your project running on Z-Stack 2.5.1a?

0 Piaozhun over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2620 points

Yes.
Value of LQI was about 180 ~ 190 in same environment.

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Piaozhun

Guru 735695 points

I see no reason that the same RFC_OBS_CTRLx and OBSSELx settings that can work on Z-Stack 2.5.1a but doesn't work on Z-Stack 3.0.1. Do you also use 19dbm in Z-Stack 2.5.1a?

0 Piaozhun over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Yes.

Here is code use in Z-Stack2.5.1a.

I don't think it's a good idea to change macPibDefaults. I suggest you to keep original macPibDefaults and use macRadioSetTxPower to set TX power in your application init function.

0 Piaozhun over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2620 points

I did keep original macPibDefaults.
And I added macRadioSetTxPower(0xF5); in init function.

But result is equal.

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Piaozhun

Guru 735695 points

macRadioSetTxPower should use dbm as input parameter. For example, macRadioSetTxPower(19) would set TX power to 19 dbm.

0 Piaozhun over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2620 points

I tried so again but result is equal.

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Piaozhun

Guru 735695 points

I suggest you to use scope to check PA/LNA pins to see if they works when your CC2530 sends messages.

0 Piaozhun over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2620 points

Yes I will try.
And I tried in cc2530 board without 2401, LQI is 186.

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Piaozhun

Guru 735695 points

Anyway, use scope to check PA/LNA pins first.

0 Piaozhun over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2620 points

YK Sir.

I tried as you mentioned.
I measured RXEN,TXEN in coordinator with oscilloscope.
RXEN is H(3.3v) always and TXEN is L(0v) always.

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Piaozhun

Guru 735695 points

Then, you should check registers value in RFC_OBS_CTRLx and OBSSELx to see if the values are correct.

0 Piaozhun over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2620 points

YK Sir.

I checked registers again.

RFC_OBS_CTRL0 = 0x68;
OBSSEL1 = 0xFB;

/* P1_2 -> EN (LNA control) */
RFC_OBS_CTRL1 = 0x6A;
OBSSEL2 = 0xFC;

Piao

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Piaozhun

Guru 735695 points

Can you try my register settings and check P1_1/P1_2 pins with scope again?

/* P1_2 -> PAEN */
RFC_OBS_CTRL0 = RFC_OBS_CTRL_PA_PD_INV;
OBSSEL2 = OBSSEL_OBS_CTRL0;

/* P1_1 -> EN (LNA control) */
RFC_OBS_CTRL1 = RFC_OBS_CTRL_LNAMIX_PD_INV;
OBSSEL1 = OBSSEL_OBS_CTRL1;

0 Piaozhun over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2620 points

Result is same.

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Piaozhun

Guru 735695 points

If you run project on Z-Stack 2.5.1a and use scope to check P1_1 /P1_2, do you see P1_1 /P1_2toggled during sending messages?

0 Piaozhun over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2620 points

YK Sir.

You are right.

I think that I try wrong test.

Now value of LQI is 189.

OK.

I did put as you mentioned,

/* P1_2 -> PAEN */
RFC_OBS_CTRL0 = RFC_OBS_CTRL_PA_PD_INV;
OBSSEL2 = OBSSEL_OBS_CTRL0;

/* P1_1 -> EN (LNA control) */
RFC_OBS_CTRL1 = RFC_OBS_CTRL_LNAMIX_PD_INV;
OBSSEL1 = OBSSEL_OBS_CTRL1;

Thank you very much.

YK Sir.

Sorry for disturb to you.

I have one issue.

End device cann't connect to coordinator.

I attached sniffer log file.

The coordinator in your sniffer log doesn't enable permit join.

0 Piaozhun over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2620 points

YK Sir.

I strange that coordinator don't permit join.

I didn't change contents of coordinator.

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Piaozhun

Guru 735695 points

Do you enable permit join on coordinator when you want device to join?

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Guru 735695 points

As I know, that is for IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee and Thread networks, not BLE.

0 Piaozhun over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2620 points

Thanks for your reply.

Then How can permit join of end device in coordinator?

PIao

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Piaozhun

Guru 735695 points

You can use API ZDP_MgmtPermitJoinReq to enable it.

0 Piaozhun over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2620 points

YK Sir.

Sorry for disturb to you.

I have some issues.

1) Using HAL_PA_LNA, coordinator is ok.
But in end device, I can't capture packet of end device by using sniffer.
2) Would you please explain to me how to use ZDP_MgmtPermitJoinReq ?

Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

1. I see no reason why it works on ZC but not on ZED.

2. You can refer to Z-Stack API.pdf in Z-Stack document folder.

0 Piaozhun over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2620 points

YK Sir.

I fixed 1).

I unchecked option/Debuger/Texus Instruments/Download/Erase flash and downloaded hex file.

Thanks for your advise.
