TIDC-ZNP-HOST-SW3: Some questions about ZNP

Part Number: TIDC-ZNP-HOST-SW3
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

Compared to z-stack: In the traditional z-stack, nodes can easily access the parent node's shortAddr and communicate with the parent node. In ZNP, currently I communicate with other nodes through the Z-tool. Can I modify the code in ZNP to access and communicate with the parent node like in z-stack? If so, how should I proceed?

Hi qd,

It is possible to utilize the Monitor and Test (MT) API to establish the ZNP device type as a Zigbee End Device (ZED) and join a pre-configured network. Here is a blog post for such a setup, where you would change the ZR instructions to use ZCD_NV_LOGICAL_TYPE of 0x02 (ZED) instead.

Since the Zigbee Cluster Library (ZCL) is not supported on the ZNP, as applications are designed to be maintained by the host device, you will need to send packets that replicate the ZCL spec with AF_DATA_REQUEST, and interpret incoming AF_INCOMING_MSG accordingly.
