Z-tool 2.0 no devices found (CC2530EM & Windows 8)

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK, CC2530EM

Hi,

Could you help with z-Tool 2.0 "No Devices Found" error?

I am working with Z-Tool 2.0 to set up CC2530EM as a Coordinator, following Z-Stack Energy 1.1.0 example (Z-Stack Energy Sample Application User's Guide.pdf). The project was re-built, debugged and downloaded. Now when I open Z-Tool 2.0(with Windows 8), I always have "no devices found" error. I searched all posts based on the key words, Z-Tool 2.0 and "no devices found", but did not find the solution for me. What I did based on those posts, though

1. In IAR (8051 8.3.0, 30day eval version): Project--> options--> C/C++ compiler --> Preprocessor, I added, MT_ZDO_CB_FUNC as below.

ZCL_KEY_ESTABLISH
TC_LINKKEY_JOIN
NV_INIT
NWK_AUTO_POLL
ZTOOL_P1
MT_TASK
MT_APP_FUNC
MT_SYS_FUNC
MT_ZDO_CB_FUNC
MT_ZDO_FUNC
LCD_SUPPORTED
HOLD_AUTO_START
xNV_RESTORE
xPOWER_SAVING
INTER_PAN
MAX_POLL_FAILURE_RETRIES=20
xTEST_CERT_DATA
xMT_SYS_KEY_MANAGEMENT

2. Opened Z-Tool 2.0 (ignore the "no devices found" error), and tool -- setting--> com 3 (my device): Port Alias=C, Handshake=RTS/CTS

However, I still have "no devices found" error in Z-Tool 2.0. Do you have have solutions/suggestions?

Thank you.

Hi JKIM,

When configuring the com port, please set the baud rate to 115,200 kbps. Let us know if this solves your issue.

Regards,

Following OD's suggestion, I did as below image capture, and re-scan for devices, but still got the same error -- No Devices Found.

Also, I tried all the other baud rates unsuccessfully...

In addition, I checked properties of COM3 from device manager as below:

To match the Baud rate I changed the port to 115200, also tried 9600 for both sides, and 38400 for both. All failed.

When installing my USB-to-Serial cable (SIIG JU-CB1S12) , I needed to install 2 Windows drivers: one for the "USB Serial Converter" and one for the "USB Serial Port" - perhaps you might have a similar requirement:

For an out-of-the-box Z-Stack build on CC2530EM+SmartRF05, I used the following Z-Tool settings:

Hope this helps....

Hi JKim,

Try to run Z-Tool as administrator

Xyzzy, I have not installed because I am not using USB serial converter now, but want to install and test if it can help. where can I download the driver? Thank you. JKIM

I ran Z-Tool 2.0 as administrator but still have "no devices found" error. Are there any other things I need to check?

Thank you. JKIM

Can you show me how you connect cc2530em to PC? Is it mounted on SmartRf05EB and connected by RS232?

Hmmm. Your screenshot shows a "Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port" device. I suggest that your check that device to see if proper driver(s) have been installed.

USB to the board is connected to Prolific USB to Serial Comm Port (com3), which has the latest driver installed.

with above devices, my port and Cebal devices drivers are set as below

Hi JKim

It seems that your EVB use UART1 not UART0. You should define ZTOOL_P2 instead of ZTOOL_P1 in your project settings.

0 Jeongdai Kim over 12 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Intellectual 400 points

YiKai, You are right. I changed ZTOOL_P1 to ZTOOL_P2 in preprocessor defined list of project option in IAR Embedded Workbench, and it works. Now Z-Tool 2.0 can find the device as below. Thank you.

Please let me know if I need to open a new thread.

After Z-Tool finds the device, I was able to run writeC-all Keys.zjs. However, it does not seem to assign IEEEAddr. The value of IEEEAddr is zero and, "ZDO_GET_LINK_KEY" get "INVALID_COMMAND" error. Should I reset ZTOOL_P2 somewhere else also? Below are screenshots:

I suggest you trace and debug into your coordinator source code to check the problem.
