Part Number: LP-CC2652RB
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG

Their descriptions more or less match, but in their code is different. What's the intention of having both of those examples?

genericapp doesn't allow you to edit ZCL cluster in sysconf and you have to revise ZCL cluster/attribute in zcl_genericapp_data.c. In constract, sampleapp allows you to use sysconf to edit ZCL cluster.

Hi makerwolf,

Here are the relevant parts of the Z-Stack User's Guide:

Customizing Application Builder Functionality
SysConfig Application Builder
Running the Example Applications

You can also refer to the Designing a Custom Zigbee 3.0-Certifiable Product Using SampleApp SimpleLink Academy Lab.

Regards,
Ryan

Ah, thank you ryan! The Running the exmaple Applications link actually has the information I was looking for right on top. May I suggest it would make sense to add this information into the readme? By comparing both readme I could not make out a difference. I reckon it would improve the UX.

I will pass this feedback to Software Development since they maintain the READMEs, however the sampleapp "Configuration With SysConfig" README section refers to the Application Builder whereas the genericapp README does not. SampleApp does include the UART CUI menu which varies from GenericApp and could be made more clear.

Regards,
Ryan
