Zigbee Lighting Gateway and BeagleBone Black

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

Hi all,

I am running into problems try to flash the ninjablocks image onto the BeagleBone Black EMMC. I followed the instructions on the Wiki. The three leds closer to the ethernet port are blinking on and off at the same time. I have this running for 4 hours last night and I don't see the LED turning solid or going off. I tried for 2 hours this morning and its still the same.

The beaglebone I have is a Black REV C from Element14 and the image I used is from:
s3.amazonaws.com/.../Ninja-Factory-Recovery-20-12-2013.img.gz

I am using a 16GB Class10 microSD card.

Any ideas what could have gone wrong?

Regards,

Kian

    Update:
    Some forums said that all the 3 LEDs should be ON, some said that all the LEDs should be off after flashing is completed.

    For me, I think when the image is flashed successfully into the EMMC, the 3 leds should be flashing on and off at the same time. And it only took me about 15-20 mins for the flashing to be completed. I took out the microsd and powered up the beaglebone black (BBB) with the USB connected to my computer. I am able to use a serial terminal and communicate with the board. Its showing Ubuntu OS for ninjablock. So I guess its flashed successfully.

    I can see the zigbee drivers using this command:
    cd /opt/ninja/drivers

    Now I am having other problems trying to get the Zlight to be detected by the gateway. Again, following the instructions on the Wiki, I configured the USB dongle as a ZLL Control Bridge. Then I connect the dongle to the BBB and plugged in the Ethernet cable. I checked that the BBB is assigned an IP address with the command: ifconfig

    I verified that the Zigbee service is running using the command: tail -f /opt/ninja/zbStartUp.log and I can see this:

    getFwModel from /dev/ttyACM0
    getFwModel from /dev/ttyACM1
    getFwModel from /dev/ttyACM2
    getFwModel from /dev/ttyACM3
    getFwModel from /dev/ttyACM4
    getFwModel from /dev/ttyO4
    getFwModel from /dev/ttyACM0
    Found device: /dev/ttyACM0
    modelId: Model ID:TI SampleBridge
    Starting zllGateway with /dev/ttyACM0

    My android phone has the Zllcontroller app installed. It is connected to the same network. When I launch the app, I entered the HA Gateway IP address. It is able to connect successfully.

    Next I powered on a Zlight. I tried to factory reset it by pressing on the reset button for 4 seconds. I waited for more than a minute, but the Zlight is not detect by the gateway.

    I really don't know what is wrong. Can anyone suggest how I can troubleshoot?

    TI has not maintained Zigbee Lighting Gateway reference design for a while. If you don't have to use ZLL profile, I would suggest to you using Zigbee Linux Home gateway instead of Zigbee lighting gateway.

    Hi YiKai,

    I am actually using the Zigbee Linux Home gateway and following the instructions in this wiki:

    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../ZigBee_Lighting_Gateway

    But nothing seems to work. I am almost giving up....

    The wiki link you listed is Zigbee Lighting gateway. You can find Z-Stack Linux Home gateway reference design at www.ti.com/.../CC2531EM-IOT-HOME-GATEWAY-RD.
