CC2530: Run smartlight & smart switch demo

One more question:
Is this possible if we can run smartlight or smartswitch demo on a single CC2530EM or the EM is only capable of running ZNP and leave the ZAP for the host?

Hi,

The CC2530 can support all ZigBee device types (Coordinator, router, end device) in standalone operation mode, i.e. you do not need to run it in ZAP-ZNP mode.

If you are using Z-Stack 3.0, you will need to start BDB commissioning on both devices in order for these devices to form/join networks. You can search for the API bdb_StartCommissioning() in the sample applications (zcl_samplelight.c for instance) to see how this API is used. Are both your devices running in ZAP-ZNP mode? If so, you can follow this guide on how to bring the network up:

If you are not using ZAP-ZNP mode you will need call the bdb_StartCommissioning() API on both devices via some kind of external input like a button press, or you could do something like use an OSAL timer + event that is started after the device initializes.

Hi JasonB,

Thank you so much for the reply.

Let me clarify more about the setup:

- The CC2530EM mounted on the motherboard (or shield) which is the IO expansion board with LED, button press and UART.

So I think my devices are running in STANDALONE mode NOT ZAP-ZNP mode. Is it correct?

I also have some additional question may hope that you can enlighten me :)

1. Based on your reply, CC2530EM can run standalone mode which means that it is capable of running all the example projects within Z-Stack 3.0. Is it correct?

2. How can I disable LCD and Joystick within the smartlight project and declare the external input instead?

3. How can I enable UART in cc2530 for debugging?

Thank you very much for the support

1. Yes, it's correct.
2. You can remove LCD_SUPPORTED=DEBUG from "Defined symbols" in smartlight project options to disable LCD. For Joystick and declaring the external input instead, you have to revise hal_key.c to do it.
3. Try to refer to sunmaysky.blogspot.tw/.../how-to-use-two-uart-ports-in-cc2530-z.html

Thank you so much YiKai Chen.

I will follow your instruction.
