I would like to know how to make z-stack auto start the network init process?

When I use usb dongle download the image and debug , press GO button and the I can capture Beacon Request in on the Packet Sniffer; then I stop debug and take off the usb dongle and reset the device there is no more Beacon Request msg until I press a key.

So I trace the program, I found the program stop at the MAC_init() inside ZMAC_init() in main(); Cause this function is NON open source, I can't find out where the problem is settled in.

I've test in the homeAutomation projects, and the hardware is a 3rd party board.

Is anyone do me a favor? Thank you!

You would need to undefine the compile option HOLD_AUTO_START in z-stack to start the network init process without any user input

Hi Suyash,

Thank you!

Your answer is expected. But how to? I add xHOLD_AUTO_START in the IAR preprocessor, but make no difference.

I did the "undefine" step in the wrong way?

Hi jiancan,

It is correct to add xHOLD_AUTO_START in the IAR preprocessor. May I know which example you download to USB dongle?

hi YiKai,

I test the Home automation sample light example. Actually, I've test the other project, like sample switch and SampleApps. And the z-stack version is 2.5.1a.

These examples are for SmartRF05EB+CC2530EM. If you use CC2531 USB dongle, I suggest you try to comment out ZDAppCheckForHoldKey() in ZDApp_Init().

What do mean the "CC2531 USB dongle", My download windows is shown below, and I try comment out ZDAppCheckForHoldKey() but it didn't work as expected.

So, you don't use CC2531 dongle. Sorry for misunderstanding. But CC2530 should mount on SmartRF05EB not SmartRF04. I suggest you to find a Smartrf05EB and try again.
