Z-Stack OTA Guide

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK, CC2538, CC2530

I'm trying to follow Z-Stack OTA Upgrade guide.
I have  2 smartRF05 + 2 2530EM boards, Z-Stack Home 1.2.0+IAR 8051 8.20

Can you please advise with these problems I'm facing? I want to be able to demonstrate OTA on these boards and then integrate OTA with my own application.

1- Can't build OTA Boot:
Building OTA Boot (Sec 3.2.1), it gives many delcared implicitly errors. I have not changed any code.

2- HA SampleSwOta Sample Application:
C:\Texas Instruments\Z-Stack Home 1.2.0\Projects\zstack\HomeAutomation\SampleSwitchOta\CC2530DB

I don't have the compile options in doc:

My IAR gives me only 3 options:

    1. I don't have this problem when build OTA boot in Z-Stack Home 1.2.0. Do you modify anything on it? Maybe try to reinstall Z-Stack Home 1.2.0 and try again.
    2. I think the document is obsolete and wrong. You shouldn't see EndDeviceEB-Pro. You can choose EndDeviceEB adn build it.

    I haven't changed any code. What I found is

    1- Boot OTA, does TI boot loader code supports external SPI ram read and write? It seems it has to do with this.

    All the

    XNV_SPI_

     functions are within

    #if/#endif

    blocks like:

    #if HAL_OTA_XNV_IS_SPI
XNV_SPI_INIT();
#endif

    Where

    HAL_OTA_XNV_IS_SPI=TRUE

     for all.

    and then in hal_board_cfg.h there are instances of  functions named 

    st()

    What are these st() ?

    #define HAL_CLOCK_STABLE()    st( while (CLKCONSTA != (CLKCONCMD_32MHZ | OSC_32KHZ)); )
#define XNV_SPI_BEGIN() st(HalSRLoad(HalSRGetState() & 0xFD);)
#define XNV_SPI_BEGIN_BOOT() st(HalSRLoad(0);)
#define XNV_SPI_TX(x) st(U1CSR &= 0xFD; U1DBUF = (x);)
#define XNV_SPI_RX() U1DBUF
#define XNV_SPI_WAIT_RXRDY() st(while (!(U1CSR & 0x02));)
#define XNV_SPI_END_BOOT() st(P1SEL &= 0x1F; HalSRLoad(2);)
#define XNV_SPI_END() st(P1SEL &= 0x1F; HalSRLoad(HalSRGetState() | 0x02);)

    Or:

    #define XNV_SPI_INIT() \
st( \
/* Mode select UART1 SPI Mode as master. */\
U1CSR = 0; \
\
/* Setup for 115200 baud. */\
U1GCR = 11; \
U1BAUD = 216; \
\
/* Set bit order to MSB */\
U1GCR |= BV(5); \
\
/* Set UART1 I/O to alternate 2 location on P1 pins. */\
PERCFG |= 0x02; /* U1CFG */\
\
/* Select peripheral function on I/O pins but SS is left as GPIO for separate control. */\
P1SEL |= 0xE0; /* SELP1_[7:4] */\
/* P1.1,2,3: reset, LCD CS, XNV CS. */\
/*P1SEL &= ~0x0E;*/ \
/*P1 |= 0x0E;*/ \
/*P1_1 = 0;*/ \
/*P1DIR |= 0x0E;*/ \
\
/* Give UART1 priority over Timer3. */\
P2SEL &= ~0x20; /* PRI2P1 */\
\
/* When SPI config is complete, enable it. */\
U1CSR |= 0x40; \
/* Release XNV reset. */\
/*P1_1 = 1;*/ \
)
#endif

    I was able to get this work for 1.2.1 with IAR 8081 8.30.3 , so if that works we can close this issue.

    It is good to know it works.

    Thanks. I have a project from past which has been compiled with Zstack 1.2.0. I want to add OTA to this project. If I move on to Zstack 1.2.1 or 1.2.2 , would I encounter any problems? What needs to be changed in application code so it can work with new Z-Stacks?

    I don't see anything special needed to take care. It should work with new stack fine.

    Now I have followed the OTA guide for 1.2.1 like below for 4 boards to setup an OTA image upgrade:

    (1)  smartRF06+CC2538: Dongle OTA-Coordinator

    (2)  smartRF06+CC2538: Router OTA Client- Image A- withBoot
    (3)  smartRF05+CC2530: Boot+ Router OTA-Client
    (4)  smartRF05+CC2530: Boot+ Router OTA-Client

    (1) is connected to PC for server purposes. I run the otaServer but none of the routers join Coordinator (1). It doesn't show any of them in the list. Any thoughts:

    It is good to know you fix this. Maybe you can tell us how you fix it here so other ld have the same issue can benefit from you.

    They don't form network automatically. You have to press SW2 on each board to have them send descriptors. I don't quiet get it as descriptors are for endpoint matching. and here we don't have lights to get desc. matched. But it got them join coordinator.
