CC2530: CC Debugger, I set "break", CC2530's RF is running or stopped ?

Part Number: CC2530
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK,

I use CC Debugger to debug Z-Stack, when I set "break", The RF core will run or stop?

The device will give ACK for data.reqest or not?

The MCU will lost packet in the period and RF error will occur ?

  • When you free run with Debugger, everything would keep working until you pause application or breakpoint is hit.

  • I would expect MAC ACKs to be received but obviously no replies or higher level processing would be available, however I am not able to confirm this at the moment.  You can test this yourself by setting up a CC2530 ZC network, connecting a sleepy ZED, and evaluating what happens when you halt ZC operation in the IAR debugger.

    Edit: it was confirmed that MAC ACKs will not be received as well, ergo no radio communication whatsoever.

  • I test,sniffer, no ack reply.

    does the test mean "if MCU run delay function or other task/isr delay,the packet will be not received,then the ACK reply will be lost."

     

  • If you pause the program, everything would be paused and you won't receive MAC ack.
