Z-Stack 1.4.3 SerialApp Troubleshooting

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2430, Z-STACK

Hi,

I am using 2 SmartRF04EB+CC2430EM. I downloaded Z-stack -1.4.3-1.2.1 and successfully compiled it and downloaded the hex file on to the chip. LED1 blinks and SW5 is pressed for CC2430 to pick a random address. However after that, the LCD on the board shows two rows of ">" and there is no other response.

No settings or code has been changed. Does anyone know what is the issue with the code or settings?

Thanks for helping.

  • Hi DQ,

    Check whether the IEEE address is all FFs.  If so this is the issue.    Use the IEEE programming tool or Flash programmer (both on the CC2430 page) to program a valid IEEE address and this should help.

  • Hi Lisa,

    The IEEE address is all FFs. However after I press SW5 (U400 down), the CC2430 gets a random IEEE address. The main issue is with the LCD as it only shows " >>>>>>>>>>>" on both lines.

    Do you have any idea how I can rectify this or this might be due to what issue?

    Cheers,

    DQ

     

     

  • Hi DQ,

    from my experience the IEEE address being all FFs is causing the issue.

    Please try using the Flash PRogrammer or IEEE programmer to set an IEEE address.  You should then see this issue go away. 

    If not, then of course we go from there.

  • Hi Lisa,

    Thank you.

    I am still facing the same issue with my CC2430EM and my CC2430's CHVER is 0x04 (Rev. E). Reading the following forum page-(http://e2e.ti.com/support/low_power_rf/f/155/p/16410/63151.aspx#63151) has made me realised that it might be a problem with the compatibility of the chip revision and Z-stack version.

    May I ask what is the latest revision of the CC2430 chip and CC2430EM and does that Z-stack 1.4.3-1.2.1 or Z-stack 1.4.3-1.2.0 support Rev. E of the CC2430 chip?

    Cheers,
