    Z-Stack Core Release Notes
    
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    Version 2.6.3a
    October 16, 2015
    
    
    Notices:
     - Z-Stack 2.6.3 has been certified as a ZigBee Compliant Platform (ZCP) for
       the devices, and toolchain versions listed below.
    
     - Z-Stack for the CC2530/CC2531 platforms has been built and tested with
       IAR's CLIB library, which provides a light-weight C library which does not
       support Embedded C++. Use of DLIB is not recommended for those platforms.
       Z-Stack for CC2538 platform has been tested with the DLIB library.
    
     - Z-Stack projects specify compile options in two ways: (1) "-D" statements
       in f8wConfig.cfg and other *.cfg files, (2) entries in the IDE Compiler
       Preprocessor Defined Symbols. When using the EW8051 or EW430 compilers,
       settings made in the IDE will override settings in the *.cfg files. When
       using the EWARM compiler, settings in the *.cfg files will override any
       made in the IDE.
    
     - When programming devices for the first time with this release, the entire
       Flash memory should be erased. For the CC2530/CC2531 and EXP5438 platforms,
       select "Erase Flash" in the "Debugger->Texas Instruments->Download" tab of
       the project options. For CC2538 devices, select "Project->Download->Erase
       Memory" tab of the project options.
    
     - Application, library, and hex files were built/tested with the following
       versions of IAR tools and may not work with different IAR tool versions:
         - CC2538 + SRF06EB:  EWARM 7.40.2  (7.40.2.8570)
         - CC2530 + SRF05EB:  EW8051 9.10.1 (9.10.1.2146)
         - CC2530 + EXP5438:  EW430 6.20.1  (6.20.1.931)
    
     - Foundation software library files for the CC2538 include the following:
         - bsp.lib, version 1.3.1
         - driverlib.lib, version 1.3.1
         - usblib.lib, version 1.0.1
    
    
    Changes:
     Version 2.6.3a:
     - [6975] Changed ZDP_MgmtPermitJoinReq() to also check the destination address
       mode for "AddrBroadcast" when deciding whether to "send to self".
    
     Version 2.6.3:
     - [6357] A new Monitor-Test command has been added to provide parameters for
       the new enhanced rejoin mechanism. See section 3.12.1.33 of the "Z-Stack
       Monitor and Test API" document for details on ZDO_SET_REJOIN_PARAMETERS.
    
     - [6180] Added the function ZDApp_ChangeState() to enhance processing of
       'devState' changes and setting the ZDO event to send App notifications.
    
     - [6122] Enhanced the leave mechanism to retain NV information when the
       leave request is with rejoin=1 and the device does not reset, allowing it
       to preserve volatile application data.
    
     - [6079] Improved handling of the situation where the original parent of a
       sleeping End-Device misses the Device Announcement when the child changes
       its parent. This provides faster recovery than waiting for Child Aging.
    
     - [6078] Implemented a Parent Announce mechanism for routers to exchange two
       new ZDO messages specified by R21 Child Management. The new "Parent_annce"
       and "Parent_annce_rsp" messages are used to determine which is the real
       parent router of specific child End-Devices.
    
     - [5956] Reduced memory usage in End-Device builds by removing un-necessary
       references to the Associated Device list.
    
     - [5476] Implemented the "enhanced" rejoin mechanism for aged out End-Devices
       as suggested by the R21 specification. An End-Device can try both Secure
       Rejoin and TC Rejoin to rejoin a network after it has been aged out and
       told to leave.
    
     - [5475] Implemented Orphan Scan Notification as the child aging keep-alive
       mechanism required by the R21 specification.
    
     - [5474] Implemented timeout establishment for the child aging mechanism in
       the R21 specification. This includes End-Devices sending the new "End
       Device Timeout Request" command once they have joined the network.
    
     - [5472] Updated neighbor table behavior as needed to support the child
       aging mechanism in the R21 specification.
    
     - [5471] Added NIB elements, stored in Z-Stack "zg" variables, as required to
       support the child aging mechanism in the R21 specification.
    
     - [5470] Moved EndDeviceTimeout Request and Response commands from ZDO to NWK
       layer as required in the R21 specification.
    
     - [5468] Removed the ZIGBEE_CHILD_AGING compile flag from Z-Stack code since
       "Child Aging and Recovery Protocol" becomes a mandatory feature in the R21
       specification.
       
     - [5467] Implemented End-Device Initiator functionality as required for the
       child aging feature in the approved R21 specification.
    
     - [5217] Modified the NWK message buffer system to delete queued messages for
       a non-RX_ON_IDLE device when a rejoin request is received from it. Queued
       messages are also deleted for a child (non-parent) when a leave indication
       is received for it.
    
     - [5168] Changed the NLME_SetPollRate() function to accept a 32-bit timer
       parameter, allowing for polling intervals longer than 65.535 seconds. The
       variable 'zgPollRate' was changed to 32-bit, along with the associated
       NV item. Added backward-compatible MT support forthe old 16-bit NV item.
    
     - [4583] Modified Coordinator network start-up behavior to save the selected
       PanID and other NIB information to Non-Volatile memory before any child
       device associates to it. If the Coordinator has a reset while waiting for
       other devices to join, it will retain the original PanID.
    
    
    Bug Fixes:
     Version 2.6.3a:
     - [6970] Fixed a problem where a non-sleeping End-Device rejoined the network
       (via Rejoin Request) to a different parent because the old parent had left
       the network - the End-Device continued to send Device Announce to the old
       parent after the old parent had also rejoined via Rejoin Request.
    
     - [6967] Fixed a problem where a non-sleeping End-Device rejoined the network
       via Rejoin Request, to the same parent after the parent had left the network
       and come back via MAC Association - the End-Device would start to poll the
       parent at random intervals, observed in a range of 0.10 to 11 seconds.
    
     - [6957] Corrected the zcl_ProcessMessageMSG() callback to reject an incoming
       message when the minimum command data length is not met.
    
     - [6951] Removed a compile error in zclGeneral_ProcessInGroupsServer() that
       would occur when ZCL_SCENES was not enabled when ZCL_GROUPS was.
       
     - [6950] Fixed a problem where a router with two neighbors in the Link Status
       (one with Incoming/Outgoing cost = MAX_LINK_COST) would not send any packet
       to the neighbor that had MAX_LINK_COST status.
    
     - [6935] Fixed a problem in the network message buffering system where an End-
       Device, with POWER_SAVING enabled, could mistakenly enter "Deep Sleep" mode
       (no timer events scheduled) when a buffer timer just transitioned to expired.
    
     - [6917] Added the function APS_RemoveDupRej() to remove an entry from the APS
       duplicate message rejection table. 
    
     - [6916] Fixed an issue where an orphaned End-Device could accept Coordinator
       Realignment from a ZigBee Coordinator that was not its original parent and
       later would ignore the Realignment from its original parent, stopping normal
       communication with that parent. See macRadioStopScan() for change details.
    
     - [6902] Fixed a problem where an End-Device would fail to rejoin the network
       after missing a NWK key change. The functions ZDApp_ProcessNetworkJoin() and
       ZDO_SyncIndicationCB() were modified to improve rejoin backoff operation.
    
     - [6897] Corrected an issue for End-Devices where the security frame counter
       would be reset to zero each time there was a rejoin - causing the parent to
       ignore messages from the End-Device. See ZDApp_ProcessOSALMsg() for details.
    
     - [6887] Fixed a problem where retries of a ZCL command with APS ACK enabled
       would be sent with APS ACK disabled, resulting in a DataConfirm with the
       wrong transaction ID.
    
     - [6883] Modified ZDO_JoinIndicationCB() and ZDO_LeaveInd() to fix a problem
       where an always-on End-Device would leave the network when its parent was
       asked to leave without rejoin and removeChildren was set to FALSE.
    
     - [6842] Reverted the optimization made in [6079] - in certain circumstances,
       the End-Device could become "stranded" in the network without a parent.
    
     - [6771] Fixed a problem with many-to-one routing where a 'random neighbor'
       with worst possible link cost would not be selected when no other neighbor
       was available.
    
     - [6737] Fixed a problem, introduced with [5455], where the AF Transaction
       ID would get overwritten by an APS counter, causing the transID of the
       AF_DATA_CONFIRM to not match the one sent with AF_DATA_REQUEST.
    
     - [5024] Fixed a problem in ZDO_ProcessMgmtLqiReq() where the IEEE address
       would be returned as 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF WHEN the device was found in the
       neighbor table instead of the associated device table.
    
     Version 2.6.3:
     - [6365] Fixed a problem where an UpdateDevice message for a leaving device
       would only be sent to the Trust Center by the parent router even if other
       routers at radius=1 heard the broadcast LeaveIndication. The UpdateDevice
       message would not get delivered if the parent router was turned off.
    
     - [6346] Fixed a race condition that could occur when an End-device sent two
       NWK Rejoin Requests to a potential parent and didn't received the Rejoin
       Response. The End-device would stop polling and could never rejoin until
       the device was reset.
    
     - [6231] Changed ZDApp_NVUpdate() to set an event, instead of a timer, for
       End-Devices to save network parameters immediately to NV after it joins.
    
     - [6165] Changed the definition of 0xFFFE as an invalid PanID to allow it
       to be used - this would not allow TI devices to operate in a network with
       that PanID, creating a potential inter-operability problem.
    
     - [6153] Handled a rare situation where two parents have the same End-Device
       in their association table with different short addresses and the former
       parent sends a Coordinator Realignment with the former short address that
       is different from the current short address of the End-Device.
    
     - [6077] Fixed an issue where an End-Device Secure Rejoin failed because the
       Update Device message could not be sent to the Trust Center and the parent
       silently removed the End-Device from its associated device list, stopping
       it from forwarding messages to the End-Device.
    
     - [6070] Reduced the time for an End-Device to send orphan notification on
       higher channels - now does not default to trying all 16 channels.
    
     - [6043] Removed possible transmissions from a device that has been requested
       to leave but is waiting for LEAVE_RESET_DELAY to reset. This eliminates the
       "spurious" End-Device polling and Router link-status messages.
    
     - [5783] Fixed a problem in the CC2530 MAC where a transmit packet is would
       be "pended" during active packet reception but never got sent. Transmit
       packets would not be sent until the device received its next packet.
    
     - [5771] Enhanced RF error handling in the CC2538 MAC by also processing
       strobe and synth lock errors. Refer to macMcuRfErrIsr() for details.
    
     - [5770] Corrected RF error handling in the CC2538 MAC by also clearing the
       error flag from the NVIC register. Refer to macMcuRfErrIsr() for details.
    
     - [5698] Fixed a problem where a child was aged out of the child table and
       sent a leave command, it performed a MAC association. If the association
       permit was false it would not rejoin the network and find a new parent.
    
     - [5696] Fixed a problem on CC2538 devices where memory area for customer
       commissioning of IEEE address (CCA) would be filled with zeroes, causing
       the device to wake up with a bogus IEEE address of 0x0000000000000000 in
       the secondary location, preventing use of the primary IEEE address.
    
     - [5626] Fixed a problem where an RX-Always-On End-Device saw a DeviceAnnce,
       its parent could be removed from the neighbor table, resulting in sending
       NwkStatus "No Route Available" when it receives messages from its parent.
    
     - [5563] Improved End-Device power consumption by turning off the receiver
       sooner after receiving a MAC ACK.
    
     - [5455] Fixed the APS retransmission mechanism to increment the APS frame
       counter for each retry and for each APS ACK.
    
     - [5270] Fixed a problem with Many-To-One routing where the routing table
       entry was not properly freed even when the concentrator left the network.
    
     - [5067] Improved sleeping End-Device power consumption by allowing it to
       sleep while waiting for an APS ACK. Previously, it would not sleep until
       it revived the ACK or exhausted its APS retries.
    
     - [4966] Fixed a scenario that once a Many-To-One (MTO) route discovery was
       complete and every router had the MTO routing entry to the concentrator, a
       newly joined device that hadn't yet participated in the MTO route discovery
       was not able to send a packet to the concentrator until it got the MTO
       routing entry by next MTO route discovery request from the concentrator.
    
     - [4811] Fixed a problem where a child device changed its NWK address because
       itr rejoined the network via MAC association. It was no longer able to do
       secure communications because it had reset the frame counter to zero. 
    
     - [4579] Fixed a problem with PA/LNA devices where the control signals for
       the PA/LNA would not works correctly after the radio woke up from sleep. 
    
     - [4504] Fixed a problem where a device that received a Leave Request with
       Rejoin set to true, would clear its NV information, making it not capable
       of rejoining the previous network without doing MAC association.
    
     - [4454] Fixed a problem where an End-Device would not try to rejoin its
       parent if the parent's end-device capacity status was set to zero.
    
     - [4453] Fixed a problem where an End-Device would not try to rejoin its
       parent if the parent's associate permit status was set to false.
    
     - [4225] Fixed a Monitor-Test (MT) problem where the device did not respond
       to a SYS_OSAL_NV_READ command from Z-Tool for NV item 0x0022. MT response
       would be dropped silently if the requested data block was larger than the
       serial TX buffer. 
    
     - [4035] Fixed a problem where an End-Device would get confused after reset
       in the following scenario: (1) two Coordinators, A and B, have networks on
       different channels, (2) End-Device joins network A on lower channel, (3)
       Coordinator A is turned off, (4) End-Device resets, clears NV, and joins
       Coordinator B, (5) Coordinator A is turned back on, (6) reset End-device
       and observe that it sent rejoin request to Coordinator A instead of B.
    
     - [3366] Fixed a Monitor-Test (MT) problem where the device did not respond
       to a UTIL_ZCL_KEY_EST_SIGN command from Z-Tool.
    
    
    Known Issues:
     - Processing of Manufacturer Specific foundation commands is not supported.
    
     - The ZDO Complex Descriptor is not supported.

    Z-Stack Home TI-RTOS Release Notes
    
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    Version 1.2.2a
    October 16, 2015
    
    
    Notices:
     - Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a meets requirements for full conformance to the ZigBee
       Home Automation 1.2 specification. The Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a release is based
       on Z-Stack Core 2.6.3a - see the "Z-Stack Core Release Notes" for details.
    
     - Z-Stack Home provides over 15 documents that cover various aspects of this
       Home Automation development package. Included is API documentation for each
       layer of the Z-Stack system, and a selection of Developer's Guides, User's
       Guides, and Application Notes to accelerate your product development. These
       documents can be found at: <InstallPath>\Documents folder with the default
       set to: "C:\Texas Instruments\Z-Stack Home 1.2.2.44539\Documents" which can
       be accessed from the Windows Start Menu.
    
     - Z-Stack for the CC2630/CC2650 has been built/tested with IAR's DLIB library.
    
     - Z-Stack projects specify compile options in two ways: (1) "-D" statements
       in f8wConfig.cfg and other *.cfg files, (2) entries in the IDE Compiler
       Preprocessor Defined Symbols. When using the EWARM compiler, settings in
       the *.cfg files will override any made in the IDE.
    
     - When programming devices for the first time with this release, the entire
       Flash memory should be erased: select "Project->Download->Erase Memory".
    
     - Application, library, and hex files were built/tested with the following
       versions of IAR tools and may not work with different IAR tool versions:
         - CC2630 + SRF06EB:  EWARM 7.40.2  (7.40.2.8570)
         - CC2630 + EXP5438:  EW430 6.20.1  (6.20.1.931)
    
     - Support software packages for Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a on CC2630/CC2650 include:
         - TI-RTOS:  tirtos_simplelink_2_11_01_09
         - XDCTOOLS: xdctools_3_30_06_67_core
    
    
    Changes:
     - [6021] Seven new Monitor-Test commands have been added to support extended
       capabilities of the Non-Volatile memory system (NV) on the CC2630/CC2650
       platforms. Refer to sections 3.8.1.27-3.8.1.33 of the "Z-Stack Monitor and
       Test API" document for details.
    
     - [5893] Introduces the Boundary tool that automatically optimizes the Code
       and RAM memory boundaries between core stack and application images. This
       tool analyzes the Code and RAM requirements for the Z-Stack Core image and
       optimizes the compiler/linker boundaries to maximize memory spaces for the
       Application image. The Boundary tool only makes changes to the boundary
       files when the Z-Stack Core is altered
    
     - [5844] Modified the ZCL EZ-Mode to support the ZCL_STANDALONE compile flag.
    
     - [5747] Introduces support for the CC2630/CC2650, running on TI-RTOS. The
       sample applications for Home Automation are built from two separate images,
       the Z-Stack Core and the HA Application. Refer to the "Z-Stack Home TI-RTOS
       Developer's Guide" and the "Z-Stack Home Sample Application User's Guide"
       for details on working with the Home Automation sample applications. The
       ZigBee Network Processor (ZNP) devices are built from a single image, and
       therefore do not involve use of the Boundary tool.
    
    
    Bug Fixes:
     - [6193] Fixed an issue where an EZ-Mode target would stop waiting for any
       Identify Query Responses when the first response was received.
    
     - [6124] Fixed a problem in EZ-Mode commissioning where binding information
       was not being saved in non-volatile memory when NV_RESTORE was enabled.
    
     - [5918] Fixed the device ID in the simple descriptor for the following three
       sample applications - they previously indicated 'Dimmable Light':
         - Door Lock
         - Door Lock Controller
         - Temperature Sensor
    
     - [5839] Added rejoin back off capability to force the HA device to wait for
       a specified amount of time after attempting to rejoin before attempting to
       rejoin again, unless prompted by user intervention. The back off timer and
       scan duration can now be set at compile or run time. Default values for both
       timers is set at 15 minutes, per section 5.3.2 of the HA 1.2 spec.
    
    
    Known Issues:
     - Home Automation sample applications only support ZigBee End-Devices.
    
     - ZNP applications and hex files only support a single ZigBee device type.
    
     - ZNP currently supports UART only, SPI will be added in a future release.
    
     - UART I/O does not support flow control, will be added in a future release.
    
     - The ZAP sample applications retain the older format (from the Home-1.1.1
       release), so they do not provide EZ-Mode commissioning.
    
     - To disable security at build time, use the "SECURE=0" compile option in the
       Z-Stack Core image. Don't try to disable security by setting SECURITY_LEVEL
       to zero.
    
     - The ZDO Complex Descriptor is not supported.

    Version 2.6.3a
    October 16, 2015
    
    
    Notices:
     - Z-Stack 2.6.3 has been certified as a ZigBee Compliant Platform (ZCP) for
       the devices, and toolchain versions listed below.
    
     - Z-Stack for the CC2530/CC2531 platforms has been built and tested with
       IAR's CLIB library, which provides a light-weight C library which does not
       support Embedded C++. Use of DLIB is not recommended for those platforms.
       Z-Stack for CC2538 platform has been tested with the DLIB library.
    
     - Z-Stack projects specify compile options in two ways: (1) "-D" statements
       in f8wConfig.cfg and other *.cfg files, (2) entries in the IDE Compiler
       Preprocessor Defined Symbols. When using the EW8051 or EW430 compilers,
       settings made in the IDE will override settings in the *.cfg files. When
       using the EWARM compiler, settings in the *.cfg files will override any
       made in the IDE.
    
     - When programming devices for the first time with this release, the entire
       Flash memory should be erased. For the CC2530/CC2531 and EXP5438 platforms,
       select "Erase Flash" in the "Debugger->Texas Instruments->Download" tab of
       the project options. For CC2538 devices, select "Project->Download->Erase
       Memory" tab of the project options.
    
     - Application, library, and hex files were built/tested with the following
       versions of IAR tools and may not work with different IAR tool versions:
         - CC2538 + SRF06EB:  EWARM 7.40.2  (7.40.2.8570)
         - CC2530 + SRF05EB:  EW8051 9.10.1 (9.10.1.2146)
         - CC2530 + EXP5438:  EW430 6.20.1  (6.20.1.931)
    
     - Foundation software library files for the CC2538 include the following:
         - bsp.lib, version 1.3.1
         - driverlib.lib, version 1.3.1
         - usblib.lib, version 1.0.1
    
    
    Changes:
     Version 2.6.3a:
     - [6975] Changed ZDP_MgmtPermitJoinReq() to also check the destination address
       mode for "AddrBroadcast" when deciding whether to "send to self".
    
     Version 2.6.3:
     - [6357] A new Monitor-Test command has been added to provide parameters for
       the new enhanced rejoin mechanism. See section 3.12.1.33 of the "Z-Stack
       Monitor and Test API" document for details on ZDO_SET_REJOIN_PARAMETERS.
    
     - [6180] Added the function ZDApp_ChangeState() to enhance processing of
       'devState' changes and setting the ZDO event to send App notifications.
    
     - [6122] Enhanced the leave mechanism to retain NV information when the
       leave request is with rejoin=1 and the device does not reset, allowing it
       to preserve volatile application data.
    
     - [6079] Improved handling of the situation where the original parent of a
       sleeping End-Device misses the Device Announcement when the child changes
       its parent. This provides faster recovery than waiting for Child Aging.
    
     - [6078] Implemented a Parent Announce mechanism for routers to exchange two
       new ZDO messages specified by R21 Child Management. The new "Parent_annce"
       and "Parent_annce_rsp" messages are used to determine which is the real
       parent router of specific child End-Devices.
    
     - [5956] Reduced memory usage in End-Device builds by removing un-necessary
       references to the Associated Device list.
    
     - [5476] Implemented the "enhanced" rejoin mechanism for aged out End-Devices
       as suggested by the R21 specification. An End-Device can try both Secure
       Rejoin and TC Rejoin to rejoin a network after it has been aged out and
       told to leave.
    
     - [5475] Implemented Orphan Scan Notification as the child aging keep-alive
       mechanism required by the R21 specification.
    
     - [5474] Implemented timeout establishment for the child aging mechanism in
       the R21 specification. This includes End-Devices sending the new "End
       Device Timeout Request" command once they have joined the network.
    
     - [5472] Updated neighbor table behavior as needed to support the child
       aging mechanism in the R21 specification.
    
     - [5471] Added NIB elements, stored in Z-Stack "zg" variables, as required to
       support the child aging mechanism in the R21 specification.
    
     - [5470] Moved EndDeviceTimeout Request and Response commands from ZDO to NWK
       layer as required in the R21 specification.
    
     - [5468] Removed the ZIGBEE_CHILD_AGING compile flag from Z-Stack code since
       "Child Aging and Recovery Protocol" becomes a mandatory feature in the R21
       specification.
       
     - [5467] Implemented End-Device Initiator functionality as required for the
       child aging feature in the approved R21 specification.
    
     - [5217] Modified the NWK message buffer system to delete queued messages for
       a non-RX_ON_IDLE device when a rejoin request is received from it. Queued
       messages are also deleted for a child (non-parent) when a leave indication
       is received for it.
    
     - [5168] Changed the NLME_SetPollRate() function to accept a 32-bit timer
       parameter, allowing for polling intervals longer than 65.535 seconds. The
       variable 'zgPollRate' was changed to 32-bit, along with the associated
       NV item. Added backward-compatible MT support forthe old 16-bit NV item.
    
     - [4583] Modified Coordinator network start-up behavior to save the selected
       PanID and other NIB information to Non-Volatile memory before any child
       device associates to it. If the Coordinator has a reset while waiting for
       other devices to join, it will retain the original PanID.
    
    
    Bug Fixes:
     Version 2.6.3a:
     - [6970] Fixed a problem where a non-sleeping End-Device rejoined the network
       (via Rejoin Request) to a different parent because the old parent had left
       the network - the End-Device continued to send Device Announce to the old
       parent after the old parent had also rejoined via Rejoin Request.
    
     - [6967] Fixed a problem where a non-sleeping End-Device rejoined the network
       via Rejoin Request, to the same parent after the parent had left the network
       and come back via MAC Association - the End-Device would start to poll the
       parent at random intervals, observed in a range of 0.10 to 11 seconds.
    
     - [6957] Corrected the zcl_ProcessMessageMSG() callback to reject an incoming
       message when the minimum command data length is not met.
    
     - [6951] Removed a compile error in zclGeneral_ProcessInGroupsServer() that
       would occur when ZCL_SCENES was not enabled when ZCL_GROUPS was.
       
     - [6950] Fixed a problem where a router with two neighbors in the Link Status
       (one with Incoming/Outgoing cost = MAX_LINK_COST) would not send any packet
       to the neighbor that had MAX_LINK_COST status.
    
     - [6935] Fixed a problem in the network message buffering system where an End-
       Device, with POWER_SAVING enabled, could mistakenly enter "Deep Sleep" mode
       (no timer events scheduled) when a buffer timer just transitioned to expired.
    
     - [6917] Added the function APS_RemoveDupRej() to remove an entry from the APS
       duplicate message rejection table. 
    
     - [6916] Fixed an issue where an orphaned End-Device could accept Coordinator
       Realignment from a ZigBee Coordinator that was not its original parent and
       later would ignore the Realignment from its original parent, stopping normal
       communication with that parent. See macRadioStopScan() for change details.
    
     - [6902] Fixed a problem where an End-Device would fail to rejoin the network
       after missing a NWK key change. The functions ZDApp_ProcessNetworkJoin() and
       ZDO_SyncIndicationCB() were modified to improve rejoin backoff operation.
    
     - [6897] Corrected an issue for End-Devices where the security frame counter
       would be reset to zero each time there was a rejoin - causing the parent to
       ignore messages from the End-Device. See ZDApp_ProcessOSALMsg() for details.
    
     - [6887] Fixed a problem where retries of a ZCL command with APS ACK enabled
       would be sent with APS ACK disabled, resulting in a DataConfirm with the
       wrong transaction ID.
    
     - [6883] Modified ZDO_JoinIndicationCB() and ZDO_LeaveInd() to fix a problem
       where an always-on End-Device would leave the network when its parent was
       asked to leave without rejoin and removeChildren was set to FALSE.
    
     - [6842] Reverted the optimization made in [6079] - in certain circumstances,
       the End-Device could become "stranded" in the network without a parent.
    
     - [6771] Fixed a problem with many-to-one routing where a 'random neighbor'
       with worst possible link cost would not be selected when no other neighbor
       was available.
    
     - [6737] Fixed a problem, introduced with [5455], where the AF Transaction
       ID would get overwritten by an APS counter, causing the transID of the
       AF_DATA_CONFIRM to not match the one sent with AF_DATA_REQUEST.
    
     - [5024] Fixed a problem in ZDO_ProcessMgmtLqiReq() where the IEEE address
       would be returned as 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF WHEN the device was found in the
       neighbor table instead of the associated device table.
    
     Version 2.6.3:
     - [6365] Fixed a problem where an UpdateDevice message for a leaving device
       would only be sent to the Trust Center by the parent router even if other
       routers at radius=1 heard the broadcast LeaveIndication. The UpdateDevice
       message would not get delivered if the parent router was turned off.
    
     - [6346] Fixed a race condition that could occur when an End-device sent two
       NWK Rejoin Requests to a potential parent and didn't received the Rejoin
       Response. The End-device would stop polling and could never rejoin until
       the device was reset.
    
     - [6231] Changed ZDApp_NVUpdate() to set an event, instead of a timer, for
       End-Devices to save network parameters immediately to NV after it joins.
    
     - [6165] Changed the definition of 0xFFFE as an invalid PanID to allow it
       to be used - this would not allow TI devices to operate in a network with
       that PanID, creating a potential inter-operability problem.
    
     - [6153] Handled a rare situation where two parents have the same End-Device
       in their association table with different short addresses and the former
       parent sends a Coordinator Realignment with the former short address that
       is different from the current short address of the End-Device.
    
     - [6077] Fixed an issue where an End-Device Secure Rejoin failed because the
       Update Device message could not be sent to the Trust Center and the parent
       silently removed the End-Device from its associated device list, stopping
       it from forwarding messages to the End-Device.
    
     - [6070] Reduced the time for an End-Device to send orphan notification on
       higher channels - now does not default to trying all 16 channels.
    
     - [6043] Removed possible transmissions from a device that has been requested
       to leave but is waiting for LEAVE_RESET_DELAY to reset. This eliminates the
       "spurious" End-Device polling and Router link-status messages.
    
     - [5783] Fixed a problem in the CC2530 MAC where a transmit packet is would
       be "pended" during active packet reception but never got sent. Transmit
       packets would not be sent until the device received its next packet.
    
     - [5771] Enhanced RF error handling in the CC2538 MAC by also processing
       strobe and synth lock errors. Refer to macMcuRfErrIsr() for details.
    
     - [5770] Corrected RF error handling in the CC2538 MAC by also clearing the
       error flag from the NVIC register. Refer to macMcuRfErrIsr() for details.
    
     - [5698] Fixed a problem where a child was aged out of the child table and
       sent a leave command, it performed a MAC association. If the association
       permit was false it would not rejoin the network and find a new parent.
    
     - [5696] Fixed a problem on CC2538 devices where memory area for customer
       commissioning of IEEE address (CCA) would be filled with zeroes, causing
       the device to wake up with a bogus IEEE address of 0x0000000000000000 in
       the secondary location, preventing use of the primary IEEE address.
    
     - [5626] Fixed a problem where an RX-Always-On End-Device saw a DeviceAnnce,
       its parent could be removed from the neighbor table, resulting in sending
       NwkStatus "No Route Available" when it receives messages from its parent.
    
     - [5563] Improved End-Device power consumption by turning off the receiver
       sooner after receiving a MAC ACK.
    
     - [5455] Fixed the APS retransmission mechanism to increment the APS frame
       counter for each retry and for each APS ACK.
    
     - [5270] Fixed a problem with Many-To-One routing where the routing table
       entry was not properly freed even when the concentrator left the network.
    
     - [5067] Improved sleeping End-Device power consumption by allowing it to
       sleep while waiting for an APS ACK. Previously, it would not sleep until
       it revived the ACK or exhausted its APS retries.
    
     - [4966] Fixed a scenario that once a Many-To-One (MTO) route discovery was
       complete and every router had the MTO routing entry to the concentrator, a
       newly joined device that hadn't yet participated in the MTO route discovery
       was not able to send a packet to the concentrator until it got the MTO
       routing entry by next MTO route discovery request from the concentrator.
    
     - [4811] Fixed a problem where a child device changed its NWK address because
       itr rejoined the network via MAC association. It was no longer able to do
       secure communications because it had reset the frame counter to zero. 
    
     - [4579] Fixed a problem with PA/LNA devices where the control signals for
       the PA/LNA would not works correctly after the radio woke up from sleep. 
    
     - [4504] Fixed a problem where a device that received a Leave Request with
       Rejoin set to true, would clear its NV information, making it not capable
       of rejoining the previous network without doing MAC association.
    
     - [4454] Fixed a problem where an End-Device would not try to rejoin its
       parent if the parent's end-device capacity status was set to zero.
    
     - [4453] Fixed a problem where an End-Device would not try to rejoin its
       parent if the parent's associate permit status was set to false.
    
     - [4225] Fixed a Monitor-Test (MT) problem where the device did not respond
       to a SYS_OSAL_NV_READ command from Z-Tool for NV item 0x0022. MT response
       would be dropped silently if the requested data block was larger than the
       serial TX buffer. 
    
     - [4035] Fixed a problem where an End-Device would get confused after reset
       in the following scenario: (1) two Coordinators, A and B, have networks on
       different channels, (2) End-Device joins network A on lower channel, (3)
       Coordinator A is turned off, (4) End-Device resets, clears NV, and joins
       Coordinator B, (5) Coordinator A is turned back on, (6) reset End-device
       and observe that it sent rejoin request to Coordinator A instead of B.
    
     - [3366] Fixed a Monitor-Test (MT) problem where the device did not respond
       to a UTIL_ZCL_KEY_EST_SIGN command from Z-Tool.
    
    
    Known Issues:
     - Processing of Manufacturer Specific foundation commands is not supported.
    
     - The ZDO Complex Descriptor is not supported.

    Z-Stack Home TI-RTOS Release Notes
    
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    Version 1.2.2a
    October 16, 2015
    
    
    Notices:
     - Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a meets requirements for full conformance to the ZigBee
       Home Automation 1.2 specification. The Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a release is based
       on Z-Stack Core 2.6.3a - see the "Z-Stack Core Release Notes" for details.
    
     - Z-Stack Home provides over 15 documents that cover various aspects of this
       Home Automation development package. Included is API documentation for each
       layer of the Z-Stack system, and a selection of Developer's Guides, User's
       Guides, and Application Notes to accelerate your product development. These
       documents can be found at: <InstallPath>\Documents folder with the default
       set to: "C:\Texas Instruments\Z-Stack Home 1.2.2.44539\Documents" which can
       be accessed from the Windows Start Menu.
    
     - Z-Stack for the CC2630/CC2650 has been built/tested with IAR's DLIB library.
    
     - Z-Stack projects specify compile options in two ways: (1) "-D" statements
       in f8wConfig.cfg and other *.cfg files, (2) entries in the IDE Compiler
       Preprocessor Defined Symbols. When using the EWARM compiler, settings in
       the *.cfg files will override any made in the IDE.
    
     - When programming devices for the first time with this release, the entire
       Flash memory should be erased: select "Project->Download->Erase Memory".
    
     - Application, library, and hex files were built/tested with the following
       versions of IAR tools and may not work with different IAR tool versions:
         - CC2630 + SRF06EB:  EWARM 7.40.2  (7.40.2.8570)
         - CC2630 + EXP5438:  EW430 6.20.1  (6.20.1.931)
    
     - Support software packages for Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a on CC2630/CC2650 include:
         - TI-RTOS:  tirtos_simplelink_2_11_01_09
         - XDCTOOLS: xdctools_3_30_06_67_core
    
    
    Changes:
     - [6021] Seven new Monitor-Test commands have been added to support extended
       capabilities of the Non-Volatile memory system (NV) on the CC2630/CC2650
       platforms. Refer to sections 3.8.1.27-3.8.1.33 of the "Z-Stack Monitor and
       Test API" document for details.
    
     - [5893] Introduces the Boundary tool that automatically optimizes the Code
       and RAM memory boundaries between core stack and application images. This
       tool analyzes the Code and RAM requirements for the Z-Stack Core image and
       optimizes the compiler/linker boundaries to maximize memory spaces for the
       Application image. The Boundary tool only makes changes to the boundary
       files when the Z-Stack Core is altered
    
     - [5844] Modified the ZCL EZ-Mode to support the ZCL_STANDALONE compile flag.
    
     - [5747] Introduces support for the CC2630/CC2650, running on TI-RTOS. The
       sample applications for Home Automation are built from two separate images,
       the Z-Stack Core and the HA Application. Refer to the "Z-Stack Home TI-RTOS
       Developer's Guide" and the "Z-Stack Home Sample Application User's Guide"
       for details on working with the Home Automation sample applications. The
       ZigBee Network Processor (ZNP) devices are built from a single image, and
       therefore do not involve use of the Boundary tool.
    
    
    Bug Fixes:
     - [6193] Fixed an issue where an EZ-Mode target would stop waiting for any
       Identify Query Responses when the first response was received.
    
     - [6124] Fixed a problem in EZ-Mode commissioning where binding information
       was not being saved in non-volatile memory when NV_RESTORE was enabled.
    
     - [5918] Fixed the device ID in the simple descriptor for the following three
       sample applications - they previously indicated 'Dimmable Light':
         - Door Lock
         - Door Lock Controller
         - Temperature Sensor
    
     - [5839] Added rejoin back off capability to force the HA device to wait for
       a specified amount of time after attempting to rejoin before attempting to
       rejoin again, unless prompted by user intervention. The back off timer and
       scan duration can now be set at compile or run time. Default values for both
       timers is set at 15 minutes, per section 5.3.2 of the HA 1.2 spec.
    
    
    Known Issues:
     - Home Automation sample applications only support ZigBee End-Devices.
    
     - ZNP applications and hex files only support a single ZigBee device type.
    
     - ZNP currently supports UART only, SPI will be added in a future release.
    
     - UART I/O does not support flow control, will be added in a future release.
    
     - The ZAP sample applications retain the older format (from the Home-1.1.1
       release), so they do not provide EZ-Mode commissioning.
    
     - To disable security at build time, use the "SECURE=0" compile option in the
       Z-Stack Core image. Don't try to disable security by setting SECURITY_LEVEL
       to zero.
    
     - The ZDO Complex Descriptor is not supported.

  • After download and have a look on latest Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a, I see there is no CC26xx with PA/LNA CC259x supported in it. Is this correct or do I miss anything?

  • Hi OD and Hector,
    I would like to test OTA function on CC26xx. Do you have reference design in Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a?
  • Hi OD,

    Our customer need full ZigBee funtionality (ZC), without using the CC2650 as a ZNP. Do you have any information or schedule for this application?

    thanks
  • As I know, it is not enough FLASH size to make CC2650 act as coordinator under SoC mode.
  • Hi YK,

    OK, thanks you for your reply.
  • You are welcome.
  • Hi Hector

    Do you find that ZED could not turn to REJOIN_BACKOFF state after REJOIN_SCAN counting finish?

    BR!
