CC2340R5: Handling status -1 in signal ZB_BDB_SIGNAL_STEERING

Shuyang Zhong

Part Number: CC2340R5

Tool/software:

CC2340 is running ZBOSS end device example, and it called bdb_start_top_level_commissioning(ZB_BDB_NETWORK_STEERING) to start a network steering. When the end device was not able to find a coordinator around, the application received a status code -1 in signal ZB_BDB_SIGNAL_STEERING after ~20 seconds.

ZBOSS user's guide only lists 2 status codes: RET_OK and RET_INTERRUPTED, but does not explain what does status code -1 mean in this signal.

The questions are:

1. Is it OK to call bdb_start_top_level_commissioning(ZB_BDB_NETWORK_STEERING) again when this status code -1 is received?

2. Is there a place to set this timeout(~20 seconds from observation) for bdb_start_top_level_commissioning(ZB_BDB_NETWORK_STEERING)?

Best regards,

Shuyang

Hi Shuyang,

You can find the list of return status codes from the Internal ZBOSS error codes from which you will find that -1 corresponds to a generic RET_ERROR. I would assume that this implies a network could not be found to join and that you would be able to restart commissioning after this point. Do any of your observations contradict this statement?

I'm not seeing information from the BDB commissioning start & status or Support for Zigbee commissioning HTML pages which implicitly describe the 20 seconds you've seen, but you can try using bdb_set_scan_duration and determine whether this changes the total time.

Regards,
Ryan
