Hi, 

Please enlighten me different ways(tools) of flashing the hex file (ZNP) in to CC2530 custom made card in the assembly line.

Best regards,

    Hi,

    The first way would be a strait forward flushing of the image using CC debugger (or smartRF05EB)

    and smartRF flash programmer, through debug interface of cc2530.

    The second way is to flush a serial boot-loader (SBL) with the same tools (CC debugger, flash

    programmer, etc). Then the .hex file can be loaded into cc2530 through serial interface (UART, SPI,

    USB or OTA, that is actually depends on configuration of the boot loader code)

    Note that in both cases, first image (whether ZNP or boot loader) must be programmed through

    CC253x debug interface.

    All this info can be found in "smartRF flash programmer" user's guide.

    Hi Igor,

    Just downloaded smart RF flash programmer and was able to flash the .hex. Your input was indeed useful.

    I have one more issue/ doubt. On the Co-ordinator and end device side, I have a master to send commands to ZNP through serial interface.

    But my router is a standalone CC2530. Is it possible to configure such a way that it joins network automatically and binds with a specific Co-ordinator?

    Thanks,

    Best regards,

    Tejasvi

    It depends on the firmware on that router

    Is it programmed to start the join process automatically, also it must have the ability

    to scan on the same ZigBee chanel of that specific coordinator, and the PAN ID must

    Thanks Igor for the help.  In ZNP, which are the files where we can set the configuration so that device is configured as router and automatically joins network?

    Also, is it sufficient to set PAN ID as with Co-ordinator or is there any other parameter to take care of?

    Please advice.

    Best regards,

    Hi,

    Unfortunately I'm not familiar with ZNP solution, so I can't advise.

    I would recommend to go through the documentation in Z-stack,

    also you can try search in this forum, I think there are several posts

    discussing the same subject
