z-tool "no device found"

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2430, CC2520, MSP430F2618, MSP430FG4618, CC2530

hi all

i knw this perticular problem is very famous and many people have already discussed 

but i cant resolve it.. i just wanted to know my settings are correct or not..

i have already gone through swra119.pdf before trying all these things

i have properly connected my smartRF04eb(coordinator-EB) to the pc and successfully executed serialapp.c application

below is the pre-processor symbols i have used

CC2430EB

REFLECTOR

NV_INIT

xNV_RESTORT

MT_TASK

ZTOOL_P1

xMT_ZDO_FUNC

LCD_SUPPORTED=DEBUG

i have connected my board through usb-uart convertor   and z-tool detected (COM 9)that also .. but after scanning it is showing "no device found"

 

so wats wrong with the settings ?

thank u

 

 

  • Hi,

     

    Enable the MT_ZDO_FUNC compilation flag and then try again

  • hi 

    if i enable that then download fails.. 

  • Hi,

     

    just for the experiment, disable NV_INIT and LCD_DEBUG compilation flags

    while MT_ZDO_FUNC is enabled, compile it and then try to download.

  • hi

    with these settings download is successful but "no device found" not resolved..

  • Hi,

     

    Do you powering up your device, then connecting it to the RS-232 cable and then

    starting the Z-Tool?

  • yes yar..

    i m running ztool on windows-7 after powering the smartrf only... ztool even shows the com port to which i have connected my board.. 

  • HAL_UART=TRUE
    xHAL_UART_ISR=FALSE
    xLCD_SUPPORTED
    xMT_NWK_FUNC
    xMT_NWK_CB_FUNC
    MT_SYS_FUNC
    MT_UTIL_FUNC
    MT_ZDO_FUNC
    MT_ZDO_MGMT
    ZAPP_P1
    ZTOOL_P1
    MT_TASK

    Go to Z tool--->settings -->serial devices select the com port u r using for communication .double click  check Handshake is RTS/CTS, Rate 38400,Parity none, stop bits 1 and data bits 8.

  • hi lakshman

     

    i did that but getting the error

    Error[Pe020]: identifier "SERIAL_PORT1" is undefined G:\zStack\edited\ZStack-1.4.3-1.2.1\Components\mt\MTEL.c 357 

     

    through SERIAL_PORT1 z-tool cummunicate right ? 

  • thanku very much 

    using these options problem solved... 

    CC2430EB

    HAL_UART=TRUE

    xHAL_UART_ISR=FALSE
    xLCD_SUPPORTED
    xMT_NWK_FUNC

    MT_ZDO_MGMT
    ZAPP_P1
    ZTOOL_P1
    MT_TASK

     


  • I dont understand how this option can work. 'Cause with

    CC2430EB

    HAL_UART=TRUE

    then in SampleAppHw.c , I get:

    #elif defined( CC2430EB )
      /* NOTES:   Jumper should be between I/O A pin 9 and 11 on the CC2430EB.
       *          I/O A pin 9  -> CC2430 P0.2
       *          I/O A pin 11 -> CC2430 P0.3
       */
     ...

    ...
      #if defined (HAL_UART) && (HAL_UART==TRUE)
        #error The UART will not work with this configuration. The RX & TX pins are used.
      #endif

    #else
      #error Unsupported board
    #endif

    then I can't compile it.

    Please give me some advice.

    Thanks for advance.

  • Hi,

    Seriously need help. I am doing the same, I have made the hardware MSP430F2618 + CC2520...

    and I am trying to use z tool. I am using

    MSP430F2618 HAL_UART=TRUE

    MT_SYS_FUNC

    MT_ZDO_FUNC

    MT_ZDO_CB_FUNC

    MT_UTIL_FUNC

    MT_ZDO_MGMT

    ZAPP_P1

    ZTOOL_P1

    MT_TASK

    compile options and the board is connected to PC via a USB and a printer parallel port ( RS232 is there to program the board)(I don't

    know how it sounds) after downloading it says 0 errors and warning, Now I start the  Z tool 2.0 which scans the device and says No devices

    found. I have also tried going to tools-> settings -> serial Devices it shows to COM port COM1 and COM8..I think COM8 is for the USB which is connected

    to the board and COM1 is for mouse. But it doesn't show LPT1 (Printer port of CPU which is getting used to program i think) have tried changing the

    HANDSHAKE RTC/CTS and NONE but nothing is happening for me now it always shows NO Devices Found.

    Kindly Help it's really urgent.

    Thanks a lot.

    Regards

    Sumit

  • Hi Kiran Nayak,

    I am having huge problems with Z stack it's been 4-5 days I am trying but my Z tool 2.0 is not detecting the Devices.

    I am working on Msp430F2618 + cc2520...i am using the same compile option as you have written here but still the same message is coming no devices find..

    kindly help

    thanks

    regards

    sumit

  • hi sumit

    give me some time. i need to recheck. i will tell by tomorrow.. but pls go through the documentation provided by TI on MT

  • Thanks for your reply !

    Let me teel you that My hardware is not a complete hardware which TI provides.There is a difference like it doesn't have switches and lcd and some other extra peripherals.

    But it's main circuit is complete and according to TI schematic only.

    Now I have disconnected the parallel printer port and I am using MSP430 JTAG Interface USB Driver (serial device)...But in this case also it's saying no device found.

    I have read the documents already and will read them again.

    My deadline is tomorrow evening so it would be very kind of you if you reply early...

    Other than this can I have your personal ID or Facebook....??...

    Thanks Again !

    Regards

    Sumit

  • hi sumit

    see i have tried z-tool on a smartrf04eb not on custom board. what i can suggest u that

    cross check which UART r u using. UART0 OR UART1 on your custom board and change the flag accordingly.

    load the appropriate program to board ,i used serialapp.c , i recommend  u too use the same.

    select the appropriate port on PC (z-tool).

    it must work

    all the best

  • It turns out that a lot of people (including me), running Z-Tool, are getting message «No devices found". 

    Here is the steps you need to do for disappearing angry message «No devices found" when you run the Z-Tool. It is checked for Windows 7 (Windows 8 it is not working), for the board MSP430FG4618/F2013 Experimenter's Board, for Zstack-1.4.3-1.2.0 (works with all versions Zstack).

    Naturally, in the IBM PC COM port is set to 38400, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.

    What is needed:

    1. In IAR in Project in Options... C/C++ Compiler item, on the Preprocessor tab in Defined symbols: (one per line) box, at least, to write

    MSP430FG4618

    MT_TASK

    ZTOOL_P1

    2. In accordance with the scheme of the board, shown in the document slau213a.pdf MSP430FG4618/F2013 Experimenter's Board User's Guide, page 19, it is clear that the information's transmit to IBM PC is impossible, if not set the active level of DTR. Therefore, in the Z-Tool settings select Tools → Settings → Serial Devices → COM1 (or COM X) → Edit → Handshake DSR / DTR.

    It must to work.

    The issue was solved thanks to European University Program of TI, especially thanks to Robert Owen.

  • Hi I have cc2530 EM module with custom configuration that is I have connected UART0 at PORT0 Alt.1 and I am able to send and receive data from cc2530 to Hyperterminal which i have connected through Usb to Serial Converter.But now when i open Z tool and scan device with my uart configuration(that is No H/W flow, 115200 buad rate, 1 stop bit etc..) after scanning few second it shows "No device FOund".. Can you help me here? Also, Through serial port monitor ,i am able to see "z tool " sending request to cc2530 ( like 0xFE, 0x0xx,0xxxx,...) kind of PING messages ,but stack is not replying (I have compiled stack with MT_SYS_FUN ,And UTIL FUN) ... Thanks in advance
