    Hi,

    If you're running with the latest stack (1.4.3) then you need to make sure the you're hardware is REV_C or greater, see "README CC2430 Full" in the kit.

    "Support for CC2430 Rev-B devices has been removed. Attempts to run Z-Stack
       on Rev-C or earlier devices will ASSERT (see macMcuInit() in mac_mcu.c)."

    If you are using old BB boards with the 1.4.3 stack nothing happens, they just hang.

    Read "Z-Stack User's Guide - CC2430DB_F8W-2005-0036_.pdf". It's in te folder ZStack-1.4.3-1.2.1\Documents\CC2430.

    Each IAR demo project has several project configurations to target different hardware.

    Your BB boards are built first using the RouterBB or EndDeviceBB project configurations. Program these first with the 10-way IDC ribbon cable from the smartrf04eb or swap the evalution modules over as needed.

    Finally build the CoordinatorEB project configuration. Load this onto the smartrf04eb. When it starts you should see the LCD display spring into life. As I remember you need to press the toggle switch/button a few times to accept some defaults before it starts the stack.

    You can then turn on your BB boards.

    You really need two smartrf04eb boards and a packet sniffer to make life a little easyer.

     

    Cheers, Steve.
