Save in non-volatile memory network structure

Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK, CC2538

Hello!

How to save the configuration (structure) of the network in memory. 
I do not know where and how I record this.
Thus, after a shutdown it returns already configured, with the nodes paired.

I'm using cc2538.

Thank you.

Hi,

If you are using Z-Stack, enable NV_RESTORE and this will be done automatically by the stack. Network information is saved in the NIB NV item.

Do you use Z-Stack? If so, you can define NV_RESTORE in your project and it would keep network status.

Thank.

Yes. Could you give me a brief example? Where would I put it? I'm based on GenericApp.

Thank you very much!
I'm going to do some testing, come back, okay?

Hello.
There is no NV_RESTORE here.
It is different.

It is different.I am using EndDevice, have how to implement NV_RESTORE on it?

0 YiKai Chen over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Guru 735695 points

I couldn't understand your descriptions. Can you elaborate?

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 1780 points

Yes!

I am using EndDevice, I click on options I go in preprocessor and NV_RESTORE does not appear

0 YiKai Chen over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Guru 735695 points

You have to add NV_RESTORE to both your coordinator and end device.

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 1780 points

How do I do that? Can you help me? Do I have to download NV_RESTORE?

thank you

0 YiKai Chen over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Guru 735695 points

You just need to put NV_RESTORE in defined symbols like I show you in my screenshot.

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 1780 points

But in defined symbols it does not have NV_RESTORE. How do I appear?

Thank you.

0 YiKai Chen over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Guru 735695 points

Just type into the edit box.

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 1780 points

OK! I did that, now it will automatically save the network? Or do I have to take another step?

I was seeing, but in none (EndDevice, coordinator, ...) has NV_RESTORE.

Thank.

0 YiKai Chen over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Guru 735695 points

It should work automatically.

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 1780 points

Does not even contain in EndDevice the NV_RESTORE?

I read in Z-Stack Developer's Guide that in ZDApp_Init call NLME_RestoreFromNV ().
Should I do this?

Thank you.

0 YiKai Chen over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Guru 735695 points

I couldn't understand your question. I told you that you only need to define NV_RESTORE on both of your coordinator and device and it would work automatically. There's no need to add any code.

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 1780 points

I added in the NV_RESTORE box, but in the EndDevice folder does not contain NV_RESTORE, or is that no problem?

Thank.

0 YiKai Chen over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Guru 735695 points

Can you do a screenshot to show me what you mean?

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 1780 points

In the EndDevice folder it does not contain NV_RESTORE. My question is if there is any problem with this.

0 YiKai Chen over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Guru 735695 points

Do you check my screenshot in my previous reply? It shows you where to put NV_RESTORE.

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 1780 points

Yes I did it.
Just thought I had to add it to the EndDevice folder.

Thank you

You are welcome.

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 1780 points

Has there been a question about how I can tell if the network is being saved in non-volatile memory?

Thank.

0 YiKai Chen over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Guru 735695 points

You can check the following codes in ZDApp.c

networkStateNV = ZDApp_ReadNetworkRestoreState();
}

if ( networkStateNV == ZDO_INITDEV_RESTORED_NETWORK_STATE )

I am using the cc2538 with smartRF06, I am doing the tests but if I turn it on and off, the network ID changes. But with NV_RESTORE it should not be the same?
Thank

0 YiKai Chen over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Guru 735695 points

If you enable NV_RESTORE, all network related information should be the same. What do you mean network ID? Is it PANID?

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 1780 points

Network ID appeared on the lcd. I do not know if that's it, but every time I turned it off and turned on the smartRF06 it changed.

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Expert 1780 points

It is giving an error, as it is attached, after I turn off and on the smartRF06. Is it because it has no breakpoint?

Thank

0 YiKai Chen over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Guru 735695 points

It looks that you don't download the FW correctly to your CC2538.

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 1780 points

How to download correctly? I do not know how to do it.

Do you select XDS100v3 as debug probe in IAR?

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 1780 points

I went in options > debugguer > Setup> drive. In drive has IT XDS.

Then I went into options > TI XDS > Setup > Emulator > TI XDS100v3 USB Emulator.

Here it is.

Thank you.

0 YiKai Chen over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Guru 735695 points

Does it work now?

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 1780 points

No. This is as tested before. Giving that mistake.

0 YiKai Chen over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Guru 735695 points

Can you elaborate what problem you have now?

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 1780 points

Same problem. That one from the photo. I do not know what to do. Is not it the breakpoint?

0 YiKai Chen over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Guru 735695 points

Do you use CC2538DK? Can you take a picture on your CC2538 EVB?

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 1780 points

Yes. It is cc2538EM.

Thank you.

0 YiKai Chen over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Guru 735695 points

Can you take a picture on whole SmartRF06 including CC2538EM mounted?

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 1780 points

You're giving this when I debug.

0 YiKai Chen over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Guru 735695 points

According to screenshot, you can do debug in IAR. So, what's your question?

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 1780 points

How well do debugging? Because you are not saving the network ID.

Thank you

0 YiKai Chen over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Guru 735695 points

If you use IAR to download program, it would erase NV Flash and you won't see the same PANID. You should test this without IAR. Just power recycle CC2538DK and see if PANID is the same.

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 1780 points

How do I test without the IAR? Do I debar with the IAR?

Thank you

0 YiKai Chen over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Guru 735695 points

After you download application to CC2538, you can run application without IAR.

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 1780 points

Where can I download? Will it work with smartRF?

0 YiKai Chen over 9 years ago in reply to Samuel Zottis Dal Magro

Guru 735695 points

Do you read Z-Stack Generic Application User's Guide.pdf in document folder?

0 Samuel Zottis Dal Magro over 9 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

I read it, but I do not remember it.
