Serial port interface in cc2430

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK, CC2430

Hi..

I'm working with cc2430db.I want it to interface with the serial port of the PC where the zigbee packets are written to the serial port and read from the PC.

1) I went through the Serialapp application provided,tried building it using IAR but I got the following errors:Fatal Error[e163]: The command line symbol "_EXTENDED_STACK_END" in  C:\Texas Instruments\ZStack-1.4.3-1.2.1\Projects\zstack\Utilities\SerialApp\CC2430DB\..\..\..\Tools\CC2430DB\f8w2430.xcl 197
-Z(XDATA)EXT_STACK+_EXTENDED_STACK_SIZE=_EXTENDED_STACK_START-_EXTENDED_STACK_END is 
not defined.
Error while running Linker.

How to Proceed?

2) How to begin to build applications using Z-Stack from the scratch?I went through many application examples but many functions are utilized from many files...Is there any resource as to how to build these applications from the scratch?

Kindly help me as to how to proceed.

Looking forward for the suggestions,

With regards,

Swaroopa.

  • Hi Swaroopa,

    I suspect that you are using a newer IAR compiler than ZStack-1.4.3 "understands". You need to use EW8051 version 7.30B with the ZStack-1.4.3 projects.

  • Hi..

    Thanks a lot..I installed 7.30B version of IAR and I was able to build serialApp application.But I wasn't able to find any documents as to how to run it,I installed on one cc2430 board where debug was running for a very long time and nothing happend,how can I run the application?

    I need to write a new application just to write to the serial port of the PC through the UART of cc2430.

    I'm not able to understand how to start writing a new application,any resources which explains from the scratch?

    Looking for ward for the suggestions,

    With Regards,

    Swaroopa.
