Some confusions about Zigbee Light Link reference design

Zhen Xu1

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

I view the Zigbee Light Link reference design on Ti Wiki:http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/ZigBee_Lighting_Gateway

and download the reference design code.There's several folders here:client,getFwmodel,server,zbFwStart,zbSocDriver

I'm confused about the codes.Which folder is for Linux client?Which is for Gateway?What should I do if I want to use the Zigbee API on a Linux client?

Thank you!

    Hi,

        A link to this information is mentioned in http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/ZigBee_Lighting_Gateway#Source_Code_and_More_Details

    However, this could be easily missed, it should be more specific that this includes the more documentation on the SW, thank you for the feedback. It links to this page: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php?title=ZigBee_Lighting_Gateway_SW

    You should find more information on the individual components here.

    If you have more questions after reading this wiki please post them.

    Regards, TC.

    As FYI, if you are interested in a HA GW (not ZLL GW) this is now available here: http://www.ti.com/tool/z-stack - "Z-STACK-LINUX-GATEWAY".

    The differences are that the Lighting GW you are looking at is implemented as a ZLL controller, it will create a ZLL network that ZLL devices can join and touchlink into, but HA devices can not join. The Z-STACK-LINUX-GATEWAY is implemented as a HA Coordinator and and creates a HA network, which ZLL Light can join, but not touch link to. Once ZLL devices have joined a HA network they can touch link to other ZLL devices in the network to pair.

    I hope this makes things clear.

    Regards, TC.

    Thank you for your reply and it helps me a lot.But I still have one more question after reading the Wiki.The Wiki says that if the Zigbee USB Dongle is programmed with the correct FW version,it will return a model ID after I use the command "getFwModel" .But it shows "Unknown model" instead.Does that mean the Zigbee USB Dongle is not programmed correctly?Or any other reason?(I program the given .Hex file with SmartRF Flash Programmer and it shows no error.) Thanks a lot!

    Please insure that you are powering the BeagleBone Black with a power supply and not from USB. If powered from USB there can be some issue with communicating to the USB Dongle.
