Hi Friends,

I am using zstack 2.5.1 SampleApp project.

I have called osal_start_timerEx(SampleApp_TaskID, READ_EVT, 10000); event at the end of SampleApp_Init().

The events started immediately without waiting for 10 seconds.

Why is it not waiting for 10 seconds?

Note:

I have used timer B for application. This problem happen after enabling the timer B.

What do you mean you use timer B? If your usage causes the problem, can you use other alternative to replace timer B usage?

I have used MSP430F5438A+CC2520 combination.

MSP430 has two timer. timer A and timer B.

Timer A is used by MAC.

So I am using timer B for my application.

If I am using timer B in my application, it would affect the osal_start_timerEx(SampleApp_TaskID, READ_EVT, 10000). Instead of starting the event after 10 seconds, it starts immediately.

Why this is happen?

Sorry, I am not expert of MSP430. However, I suggest you check if you set registers wrong when you use Timer B.
