CC2530: Inactivity Timers in Routers

Jack Loop

Part Number: CC2530

Hi. Are there any timers that run in the SampleLight program for a router that start running when there is no activity/events going on (i.e. On/Off)? I have an issue where after no activity over a set time, the router does not run in the even loop in zcl_samplelight.c anymore. I checked this by placing a breakpoint in there. After inactivity for a set time, the breakpoint no longer hit in the event loop. Why is this so and how can I fix it?

Which event loop do you mean here?

zclSampleLight_event_loop()

If there is no event, zclSampleLight_event_loop won't be triggered.

I have an osal timer in the event loop that hits every 10 seconds. It's just the issue mentioned above, which strangely results in the breakpoint from being hit again after no commands being sent from the coordinator to the router.

I am confused by your descriptions. You say zclSampleLight_event_loop isn't triggered in your first post but now you said it "strangely results in the breakpoint from being hit again after no commands being sent from the coordinator to the router." So, is it hit or not? Please elaborate.

Scenario:
I turn on the router. The breakpoint on the Osal timer hits every 10 seconds continuouslly. I don't send any on/off command from the coordinator to the router for 20 minutes. The breakpoint then stops hitting at this 20 minute set time. The breakpoint is never hit again.

If you send on/off command when you see this issue, does zclSampleLight_event_loop hit?

Before the 20 minute time, the event loop does hit. After the 20 minute time, it doesn't.

Do you mean If you send on/off command when you see this issue, SampleLight won't toggle LED?

Yes. Also I am saying that nothing else in the event loop runs; meaning that after 20 minutes, the CC2530 won't run in the event loop anymore.

Do you see on/off command is sent over the air in Ubiqua Protocol Analyzer?

After 20 minutes, no I do not.

Can you attach sniffer log and elaborate using sniffer log?
