CC2530: Binding table

Akhi G

Part Number: CC2530

In this function-

static void MT_UtilBindAddEntry(uint8 *pBuf)

Here the bindAddEntry is used to create the binding table. But I am unable to set the break point at packBindEntry.

if ( clusterIds != NULL )
{
// The response to MT interface has to be pack into buf
packBindEntry_t( buf, bindAddEntry( srcEp, &dstAddr, dstEp, numClusterIds, clusterIds ));

osal_mem_free( clusterIds );

Why is the breakpoint not getting set here?

This is at the coordinator (sample switch,cc2538) side.

Try to set optimization level to low and test again.

It is already set to low. And not working.

Does MT_UTIL is defined in your project?

MT_TASK
MT_APP_FUNC
MT_SYS_FUNC
MT_ZDO_FUNC

These are the only MT which are enabled in the compiler option.

You have to add MT_UTIL to test it.

Added in compiler option. But, still the same behaviour. But when I added MT_UTIL_FUNC in the compiler option, the breakpoints are set but my program is not getting stopped at those breakpoints instead after binding.
#if defined (MT_UTIL_FUNC) // this I wrote and enabled in the compiler option.
static void MT_UtilGetDeviceInfo(void);
static void MT_UtilGetNvInfo(void);
static void MT_UtilSetPanID(uint8 *pBuf);

MT_UTIL is my typo. MT_UTIL_FUNC is the correct define. I will check when I can access to my desktop. By the way, why do you need to use MT_UtilBindAddEntry? It's not normal behavior to access binding table using it from application.

OK. check and then tell me. I have checked that in binding table, there is an argument which carries the ieee address, network address. I want to send data using these parameters to a specific device for which I need to write some extra lines of code. I am, actually trying to understand the whole structure.

What do you mean set breakpoint at packBindEntry? Do you mean to set breakpoint at the line" packBindEntry_t( buf, bindAddEntry( srcEp, &dstAddr, dstEp, numClusterIds, clusterIds ));"?

0 Akhi G over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Genius 3410 points

I mean any where inside this file. Yes, I tried at this.

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Akhi G

Guru 735685 points

I don't understand your question well but I think you can set a breakpoint inside function bindAddEntry() and trace it.

0 Akhi G over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Genius 3410 points

Yeah. That all I want, but failed to trace.

I can set breakpoint on "packBindEntry_t( buf, bindAddEntry( srcEp, &dstAddr, dstEp, numClusterIds, clusterIds ));" and it hits when I send UTIL_BIND_ADD_ENTRY from my ZTool.

Mine is still not working.

I have coordinator, sample switch and end device, sample light. Both are powered on. By pressing key 2 on both, it is getting binded with end device bind request. Now the binding table should be formed. So, I am tracing this point (packBindEntryEntry_t) to check the binding table.

I did no change in code.

Using only sample application code.

Guru 735685 points

You have to send MT command UTIL_BIND_ADD_ENTRY from ZTool to make breakpoint hit.

0 Akhi G over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Genius 3410 points

Why this? Binding table should be formed by itself just after end device binding takes place.

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Akhi G

Guru 735685 points

The breakpoint you set is on the path only triggered by MT command UTIL_BIND_ADD_ENTRY. If you use end device binding, you should set breakpoint inside bindAddEntry().

I didnt get the concept of MT commands. What are these and when and how to use?
Beside it, I can set the breakpoint inside bindAddEntry and able to trace entries of binding table 1 by 1.

MT command is for ZAP-ZNP architecture which is to make CC253x act as Zigbee network processor and you need an extra MCU to act as Zigbee application processer.

OK Thankyou.
There is a dstIdx in BindingEntry_t. What is this and what is its function? What value does it take?

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Akhi G

Guru 735685 points

If I remember correctly, it is index to look up element in address manager.

0 Akhi G over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Genius 3410 points

Didnt get it. Explain please.
What I have observed that when 2 end devices are binded to the coordinator, dstIdx is 0 for the one end device and 1 for the another end device.
