Z-TOOL used with SmartRF04EB

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2430, Z-STACK, SIMPLICITI, MSP430FG4618

i configed a SmartRF04EB adding a CC2430+2591EM as a coordinator programmed with "AP as data Hub ", then added "MT_TASK" in the defined symbols list box on the preprocessor card of C/C++ Compiler after selected options under the project of IAR WB and connected the assembled boad to the taptip via a USB to Serial convertor, started up Z-tool, the prompt box showed "no devices found", next what should i do?

    It appears that you are mixing Z-Stack (coordinator, "MT_TASK", Z-Tool) and SimpliciTI ("AP as data hub"), which is not going to work.

    SimpliciTI does not provide support for Serial I/O, and certainly not Z-Stack's MT interface, which is required to use Z-Tool.

    Could you elaborate on exactly what you are trying to do?

    according to your instruction, in this time, we opened an other program--like SamplesApp under the fold of Z-stack, firstly. next, add a command "MT-TASK" in the list box named Defined Symbols in preprocess card after selecting C/C++ compiler from the options of project of IAR WB IDE. then, rebuild all under project, and connect a SmartRF04EB combined with a CC2430+3591EM to PC via a USB cable. ilerated above-mentioned action to program three pieces of EMs. next, we made an assembled EB+EM as a coordinator, and connected to the PC via Serial I/O. finally, we open Z-TOOL, the same result was presented-----no devices found.

    by the way, we use IAR v. 7.30B, and Z-TOOL V.1.4.3-1.2.1.

    could you give further instructions?

    our purpose is to build a wireless sensor ZigBee network to collect all the sensors's data thereby.

    thanks

    It turns out that a lot of people (including me), running Z-Tool, are getting message «No devices found".

    Here is the steps you need to do for disappearing angry message «No devices found" when you run the Z-Tool. It is checked for Windows 7 (in Windows 8 it is not working), for the board MSP430FG4618/F2013 Experimenter's Board, for Zstack-1.4.3-1.2.0 (works with all versions Zstack).

    Naturally, in the IBM PC COM port is set to 38400, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.

    What is needed:

    1. In IAR in Project in Options... C/C++ Compiler item, on the Preprocessor tab in Defined symbols: (one per line) box, at least, to write

    MSP430FG4618

    MT_TASK

    ZTOOL_P1

    2. In accordance with the scheme of the board, shown in the document slau213a.pdf MSP430FG4618/F2013 Experimenter's Board User's Guide, page 19, it is clear that the information's transmit to IBM PC is impossible, if not set the active level of DTR. Therefore, in the Z-Tool settings select Tools → Settings → Serial Devices → COM1 (or COM X) → Edit → Handshake DSR / DTR.

    It must to work.

    The issue was solved thanks to European University Program of TI, especially thanks to Robert Owen.
