CC2530

Thankyou for quick reply YiKai Chen,

is there any experimental boards available from TI. ?? 

Hi,

 I have CC2530 on a custom board and CC2531 USB dongle.

 Is there some sample code which I can use to send some payload from the custom board and see on the CC2531 packet sniffer?

How do I start a new issue instead of posting as reply for some issue?

Thanks and Regards,

Vamsi.

Hi YiKai,

I have downloaded 

 The GenericApp Sample Application

as coordinator on one of the custom board and as end point on one of the custom board.

I'm using cc2531 dongle sniffer.

I see some packets with different fields.

Do I need to look for "Hello World" message in the APS payload field?

How do I know which channel I need to put the cc2531 sniffer to?

Is there some tool which shows only the payload in ASCII format?

Thanks and Regards,

Vamsi.

Hi vamsi,

1. Yes, you can look for "Hello World" message in APS payload to confirm the example works.

2. For example, when you build GenericApp, you can define DDEFAULT_CHANLIST=0x00000800 and it will be on channel 11.

3. You can try ubiqua sniffer.

Hi YiKai,

I followed as you said and selected channel 26.

I see the end point Joins Coordinator. But there is no Hello World Message.joining the 

Screenshot above.

Could you help where Im struck?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Vamsi,

From the packet sniffer snapshot, packet 71 to 78 show that your ZC doesn't response to ZED's polling. So, ZED became a orphan node after that. Do you turn off your ZC in your test? You need to check why your ZC disappeared.

Hi YiKai,

I do not power off ZC.

Hi Vamsi,

You log shows ZC stop responding to ZED's polling so I guess you turn off ZC. If you don't, you need to check why ZC stop responding. By the way, do you modify anything in GenericApp?

Hi YiKai,

I did not change anything in the code.

But I changed the compile options as I was getting the error

"Error[e46]: Undefined external "?V1" referred in AF ( C:\Texas Instruments\ZStack-CC2530-2.5.1a\Projects\zstack\Samples\GenericApp\CC2530DB\EndDeviceEB\Obj\AF.r51 )"

The changes I had done was 

Does this make any difference?

Thank you for the help.

Hi Vamsi,

It seems that you are using IAR 8.30 to compile Z-Stack 2.5.1a. I would suggest you download a proper IAR version from http://www.iar.com/Products/Wireless-solutions/Tools-for-TI-wireless/ and try again.

Hi YiKai,

I tried with IAR 8.11. It is the same.

Does the payload be in encrypted format.

Could you send screenshot of some string that is sniffed and can be read?

Thanks and Regards,

Vamsi.

Hi Vamsi,

Your problem is that ZC stop responding to ZED's polling. You can check your first post snapshot of sniffer from packet number 60 to 67. Those are the correct behavior that ZED is doing polling and ZR responses correctly.
