GET SHORT ADDRESS FROM IEEE ADDRES

Leonardo Saavedra

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

Hi all, I´m sending some test messages, I need to get IEEE Address in End Device and then use it to get the Short Address, mi code is:

uint8*EDExtAddress;
EDExtAddress = NLME_GetExtAddr();

int dir = ZDP_NwkAddrReq( EDExtAddress, ZDP_ADDR_REQTYPE_SINGLE, 0, 0 );
HalLcdWriteStringValue("ShortA:", dir, 16, HAL_LCD_LINE_1);

when I try to print the Short Address in LCD, this show "0", but when I get the short address using this code::

EDShortAddress = NLME_GetShortAddr();

HalLcdWriteStringValue("ShortA:", EDShortAddress, 16, HAL_LCD_LINE_2);

I can see the correct short address in lcd.

what´s wrong in the first case to get the short address using IEEE addres???

Hello Leonardo,

In the first case, you call a function to send an OTA message. This message is used to request in broadcast,

to all devices in network, which one as the ieee_addr.

So, you must have the return that answer you this function (success = 0x00).

Hi Launix,, ¿how con I do to use that to send a message? (for example, using AF_DataRequest)

Does your question is: how to send a message like that in the network?

You can fill this function, with correct parameters as below:

ZDP_NwkAddrReq( uint8 *IEEEAddress, byte ReqType, byte StartIndex, byte SecurityEnable );

Excuse me, this is not my question, my question is: ¿how can I do to send a message data using AF_DataRequest and the IEEE address from coordinator to end device?

What kind of message you try to send to end_device?

Is it your own message? You should use examples provided to send messages.

Using AF_DataRequest is not easier, if you are begining to work on Zstack.

Is my own message, I have my cluster, my buffer and I can send messages using short address, but in this case I don´t have this short address, I just have the IEEE address and the status delivered for ZDP_NwkAddrReq.

Any Idea??

Leonardo - read the Z-Stack Developer's Guide:

C:\Texas Instruments\ZStack-CC2530-2.5.1a\Documents\Z-Stack Developer's Guide.pdf

Pay particular attention to Chapter 6: 6. ZDO Message Requests

Note that you will instead be registering for and making a network address request instead of an IEEE address request.
