SampleSwitch router does not join to the coordinator (CC2538DK)

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

Referring Texas Instruments\Z-Stack Home 1.2.1\Projects\zstack\HomeAutomation\SampleSwitch, I load coordinator to one EM, and router to the other EM (+smartfr06). however the router does not join to the coordinator, I pressed all the buttons but I don't see any ID info on the LCD nor on the packet sniffer. 

I use the default code and did no changes on the configs. 

Can anyone tell me how I can make it work?

I did what this thread suggests https://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless_connectivity/f/158/t/220271

    Hi,

    - Please make sure to erase the flash content before programming the firmware into the EMs (from IAR, select Project-->Download-->Erase memory). You should do this every time before programming, or otherwise the results are unexpected.

    - I suggest that you build firmware for one of the devices (coordinator or router) from the SampleLight project, rather than having both built from the SampleSwitch project. This way, you can use the switch to control the light.

    - Once the two setups are programmed, please reset them / power them on, and then press the 'right' button on each setup to initiate EZ-Mode connection. After a few seconds, the router should find the coordinator and connect to it. Then you will be able to control LED1 on the SampleLight setup, by pressing the 'up' button on each of the two setups (the SampleSwitch and the SampleLight itself).

    I just tested the same myself, and it works fine. I used the Switch as a coordinator and the Light as a router (though usually the standard configuration is the Switch as an end-device, and the light as a router/coordinator).

    Please note that the thread that you pointed to is regarding an older version of Z-Stack, which does not support EZ-Mode.

    Best regards,
    OD.
