problem with coordinator on CC2530ZNP Mini Kit

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F2274

Dear people,

I am novice to this technology and actually stuck with this problem.

I've got CC2530ZNP  Mini Kit   and decided to make my first familiarity with this kit by

following instructions from Quick Start Guide. Steps 1, 2 and 3  have run without any problem

coordinator worked perfectly and end devices were joining networks and was registered on Hyper Terminal.

After that i came to STEP 5 of Guide  - "Using IAR Embedded Workbench for programming/debugging"

So i downloaded and installed  IAR  Embedded Workbench for MSP430  and started as recommended

with Hardware Interface Examples - Button Blink.

And after that "disaster strikes"  - coordinator ceased  functioning. So i tried repeat this example

over and over again - but with the same result. Using IAR i clicked "erase memory" hoping to get

rid from code i downloaded into board - but result was the same.

So coordinator does not start networks - regardless of pushing button on board .

My problem is that i can not get help except this forum.  I orded this kit and it came to me from another country

and now i am left with this problem and i don't have the slightest clue how to reset coordinator.

I just tried examples recommended i manual and hope didn't damage device or erased memory with

code of coordinator.

It is my second post - please if somebody can give me advice i would be very grateful for it.

My hope is just with answer on this forum - i have no other options.

Thank you in advance

Edward S.

    Hello Edward,

    The Button Blink example only does a simple function of toggleing the LED after a button is pressed. So you do not see coordinator getting started. I will recommend you to read the wiki documentation on the ZNP mini Kit examples at the link  - http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Tutorial_on_the_Examples to understand the ZNP mini kit examples and proceed in your development.

    Regards,

    Thanks a lot , Suyaash,

    i will again describe my problem. So i strictly  followed  Quick Start Guide  for CC2530ZNP    TI document -    swru268a .

    Steps 1, 2 and were ok , without problem/

    After that i started step 4 - using IAR Embedded Workbench and again following  strictly Quick Start Guide  have tried 

    Hardware Interface Example - Button Blink.  Green LED started to toggle and after pressing button on  Target Board ( which

    was the coordinator in my case) Red LED was on constantly and Green LED continued to blink. So something went

    differently from was written in Guide/

    But the main problem is that now i can not repeat STEP3 of Guide i.e Coordinator does not create networks , end devices 

    do not send any information to coordinator and of course no information on Hyper Terminal. But before trying this example with

    Button Blink everything was OK with Step 3  - Start the Network.

    I have repeated Step 5 - the same result. 

    I erased the memory  -in my opinion i erased memory from example "Button Blink" using IAR . I did it in the sequence  PROJECT - DOWNLOADED -ERASE MEMORY

    In my opinion i did not change anything in Coordinator - and what is the reason of problem i do not know.

    I think that i could not damage Coordinator - to chanhe its software should be used Programmator and Target Board has special connector 

    to connect programmator.

    Unfortunately Texas Instrument talks a lot about Technical support - but in my case i do not know what to do.

    Company which sold this Kit refused to help me because they have no idea how to make it.

    Any idea what i have to do ?

    Again thanks a  lot for your response 

    Regards

    Edward

    Hello Edward,

    What you did when you programmed the MSP430F2274 on the ZNP Mini Kit with the button Blink example, was you removed the code that was programming the CC2530ZNP to be the coordinator. To again form a network and start the CC2530ZNP as coordinator you will need to reprogram the MSP430 with correct code. Please use the Simple Applications Examples project  Coordinator Debug, to do that. Also please see the wiki iink http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Simple_Applications_Examples which explain these projects.

    Hope this helps.
