how to convert cc2531 dongle into coordinator?

Hi,

The same GenericApp used for your EndDevice can be used for coordinator too.

When you editing your GenericApp, in Workspace window, you simply have to

open scroll down menu with currently denoted "EndDeviceEB" and select the

"CoordinatorEB". Compile it and there you go.

At this point, if you not interested in USB functionality of the Dongle, you have to

make no changes in the project, well, you probably must change several things

for your application.

Hope this helps.

But i need to use CC2531 Usb Dongle...this is what my superviser want...

is there any way to use GenericApp in cc2531 Usb dongle ?And how to edit the program?

thank

Hi,

So, what I understand is that you (actually your boss) want your USB dongle to be used as 

a gateway?

Please refer to this thread, read it carefully and refer to other threads specified in there, at the

end you should be able to make the changes necessary for GenereicApp that supports USB

functionality.

hi,

actually My boss want Usb dongle tobe used as a coordinator...By the way,i cant see any thread that u have put on..

thank

my boss ask mi to compare the generic app program and rf moderm program...

can u teach me how to write the program of rf modem for usb dongle and make it able to detect the end device?plz

how to edit the pan id,dest address and source address in rf modem program?

i need to do quickly...

thank

Hi,

First of all, excuse me, I forgot to add link to thread I was talking about, my bad, here it is.

You didn't mention it, but I'll be basing my answer assuming that SerialApp is one of the

examples distributed along with Z-stack.

Regarding the rf_modem and the generic app, one of the examples in Z-stack is the

SerialApp, which is a "rf_modem" on top of Z-stack. 

SerialApp can be found in your "Z-stack installation folder\Projects\zstack\Utilities\"

For more info about this application please refer to "Z-Stack Sample Applications.pdf"

document, section 3. This document can be found in your Z-stack installation folder\

documents.

You can make some changes to this project and add to it USB functionality, so the USB

dongle will be used as a coordinator and also will be communicating through USB with

a PC (UART emulation with CDC class). The changes to be made described in the above

mentioned thread.

On the other end you can use an out-of-the-box serialApp for the End Device, connect it to a

PC with serial cable. 

In case you will be working with serialApp, coordinator will be using NWK address = 0x0000

and end device's NWK address will be assigned (randomly) by the coordinator.

You can also easily change the PANID and channel, once you open the serialApp, in the

project tree find "Tools", expand it and then open and edit "f8wconfig.cfg", choose desired

channel and/or PANID (or leave it untouched).

hi,

will it applies the same to generic app?

generic app can add USB functionality? if can,can u teeeach mi how to add?

coz i don wish to use rf-modem program ,it is so confusing

btw i alread written de generic app program for my end device and it is working

so i hope can use or edit cc2530 generic app program to do for cc2531 usb dongle as a coordinator ...

Hi,

Of course you can edit the GenericApp to be used with cc2531 USB dongle.

In abstract, you have to replace all the HAL modules and includes with those

in HAL USB, just read the thread I was referring you to (Daniel's an mine posts).

I really can not make it more clear than it already is.

Also, in the above mentioned thread I had attached two screenshots of the project

tree (to be more specific, the HAL part) as a zip file. Please take a look at those

images so you'll have something to compare with and it the rest is pretty

straight forward.

Hi,

Can you post a file tree of the project of yours.

As I can see it, in MAC->High level-> there is no "mac_pib.c" and "mac_pib.h"  source files,

or you have some sort of older version of these files.

Also please check if you see "OSAL_Math.s51" file under the OSAL root?

btw thank for ur help...my superviser instrusted mi with other thing to do....No longer do de wireless...

erm...

do u knw how to write  a program for gyroscope?the gyroscope is L3G4200D(MEMS motion sensor:
ultra-stable three-axis digital output gyroscope)

if you wan to see de schematic of the gyroscope,u can see it from my profile list

plz help

thank sir

Hi,

What you do mean by saying "know how to write a program"?

Several things are missing in order to answer properly on your question:

1. This program should be for specific controller, or what?
2. What is the preferable interface, SPI or I2C?
3. What is the language (I assume it's embedded "C") and the debugger?

sorry abt that...

basically,i using de generic app to write for gyroscope

as for interface ,i not that sure u see the above schematic

language should be C program..

so plz teach mi =P thank

I also am attempting to create a Coordinator USB app and have read through all the threads (and threads reffered to within threads) on subject.  I ran into the same file errors described above.  I thought to post for complicity and those who may find this thread in the future. 

I downloaded the CC2530USB.zip and unzipped into the GeneriApp directory of Z-stack 2.5.0. The  errors occured while linking "CoordinatorUSB."  Found the above files (mac_pib.c and OSAL_Math.s51) along with Binding Table.c were missing from the project.  Once I added these the project compiled and linked fine.  I'm still waiting on some CC2531EMK dongles from TI to test with.  The original thread  (e2e.ti.com/support/low_power_rf/f/158/p/36068/128864.aspx#128864) built the project under Z-stack 2.3 so perhaps this is why some files were missing from the project.  Thanks for the info, hope this helps.
