dynamic allocation of PAN ID

1. Does your CC2531 act as a coordinator?

2. Do you use UART to communicate between your Host MCU and CC2531?

Hi Yikai Chen,

Thanks for your quick response.

1. Yes all devices we use are cc2531. for coordinator as well as routers.

2.  yes. coordinator is connected to PC via UART.  but routers are stand alone.( only zigbee communication. no other type.)

i want to configure both coordinator as well as routers to same PAN ID .  not when compiling the code. but while loading the hex file in to them or later.

Pl. suggest me a solution.

Thanks,

1. For coordinator, you can have a busy wait for UART command to receive PANID from host MCU and start coordinator after that.

2. For router, I have no idea how to do it if there is no host MCU that can pass PANID to it.

to write PANID

Hi Yikai Chen,

Can we do anything while programming through TI smartRF flash programmer?

Thanks,

Mahesh KV

As I know, you can't do that to the published version of TI flash programmer. If you really need that, I would suggest you to contact your local TI sale representatives to see if they can help.

hi Yikai Chen,

Thanks for the reply.   

In the previous reply, you wrote about " busy wait for UART command to receive PANID from host MCU"

I dont know how to do that.  can you elaborate it for me.

Thanks,

For example, you can have a while loop at ZDOInitDevice() in ZDApp.c to receive PANID from host MCU. If the device receives PANID, set the PANID to zgConfigPANID and break the while run to keep the code running.
