802.15.4 MSA CC2650 hangs in startup

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIMAC, CC2650

I am trying to run the MSA application for TI MAC. I am using the following:

IAR EWARM Workbench 7.70.2
C:\ti\simplelink\timac_1_05_02_43299\Projects\mac\Sample\cc26xx_RTOS\IAR Projects\Application\CC2650\msa_cc2650.eww
SmartRF06 Evaluation Board (x2)
CC2650EM-7ID (x2)

I am following the instructions in "802.15.4 MAC User's Guide for CC26XX" and downloading the stack image first. However, it hangs in ICall_createRemoteTasks() in main.c:taskFxn() and spins at 0x1001bbd6. It is the same on both boards.

I have had the MSA application working so I am not sure which step I am missing.

Any help appreciated.

TIMAC 1.5.2 example project is created by EWARM 7.40.1. I suggest you to download EWARM 7.40.2 from www.iar.com/.../ to build examples to test again.

Further update on this: The RFD target does actually work. It is the FFD target which does not work and hangs as described. Therefore I doubt it is due to the IAR compiler. I will continue to investigate.

I found the issue - I had disabled FEATURE_MAC_SECURITY in the application but not in the stack. It appears this causes some issues. It is probably worth updating documentation to state that any features changes must be in both stack and application builds.
