CC2652R: Having trouble running zc_light_sink and gpd_switch in simplelink_zigbee_sdk_plugin_1_60_01_09

Part Number: CC2652R
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1, Z-STACK

When I try to build and run zc_light_sink and gpd_switch in simplelink_zigbee_sdk_plugin_1_60_01_09, I find I cannot see the same UI in C:/ti/simplelink_zigbee_sdk_plugin_1_60_01_09/examples/rtos/CC26X2R1_LAUNCHXL/zstack/zc_light_sink/README.html like the following screen shot.

I only see the following output on UART of my LAUNCHXL-CC26x2R1

I also build gpd_switch and download it to another LAUNCHXL-CC26x2R1 but I don't see anything on UART. Does TI have matched documents for testing zc_light_sink and gpd_switch.

Hi YK,

Close inspection of the README document reveals that a routing device is required as a proxy hop between the GP source and sink:

I've verified operation of the code examples with this exception, it is a bug that will be resolved in time for the next Z-Stack release.

So, I cannot test this until next Z-Stack release, right?

Green Power functionality is still available and the examples can be tested in the current Z-Stack version with the exception of needing an additional GP proxy device in the network.

Ryan

Ryan Brown1 I couldn't understand. Can you elaborate how I can test gpd_switch?

As detailed in the Developing Zigbee Applications -> Green Power Application Overview -> Setting Up the Network with GPD and GPS section of the UG: Create the network using zc_light_sink and enable permit-joining, join any GPP router (ex zr_genericapp) to the network, enable GPS commissioning on zc_light_sink, and then Commission the gpd_switch into the network. You could also carefully follow the README instructions.

Ryan

Ryan Brown1 (3460875) I had tried to follow exactly the step in the document to test zc_light_sink but I can only see the following UART output.

When I press left button of LAUNCHXL-CC26x2R1, I see this message repeat again. I set breakpoint in zclSampleLight_processKey and I can see the following case is triggered

if(ZG_BUILD_COORDINATOR_TYPE && ZG_DEVICE_COORDINATOR_TYPE)
        {

            zstack_bdbStartCommissioningReq.commissioning_mode = BDB_COMMISSIONING_MODE_NWK_FORMATION | BDB_COMMISSIONING_MODE_NWK_STEERING | BDB_COMMISSIONING_MODE_FINDING_BINDING;
            Zstackapi_bdbStartCommissioningReq(zclSampleLight_Entity,&zstack_bdbStartCommissioningReq);
        }

However, there is no UI like those in the document so I cannot check BDB network status and also cannot set primary or secondary channel. Have you ever try this to see the trouble I faced?

Ryan Brown1 It seems that I make a stupid mistake that I don’t input “E” for help. After I input “E” for help, I can see other UI output now. Will keep to do further testing. Thanks for your help.

I find sometimes there is no response from UI when I input "A" or "D" from my teraterm or COM operator. I suspect there is something wrong in UART process of zc_light_sink.

Have you experienced similar behavior with the non-GP related projects, such as zc_light and zed_switch? Is the UI frozen or does it simply require that the key be pressed a second time?

Yes, I see the same issue on zc_light and zed_switch. It will be no effect on UI button “A”, “D”, “W”, and “S” and it might work suddenly after I press reset button on LaunchPad several times.

0 Ryan Brown1 over 7 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

TI__Guru**** 217727 points

Does the behavior occur after a certain command is enacted or button is pressed, and can the status be changed if all other LaunchPads are disconnected from the system? Please make sure to erase all memory before programming or reset to factory new in the UI before commissioning the network.

Ryan

I try to erase flash every time I test it but I still see the same issue. If the issue happens, I see it right after power cycle.

I also recommend that you try using PuTTY as your terminal program because the serial output has been verified to be formatted correctly in this program. This is noted in the Developing Zigbee Applications -> Application Overview -> Common User Interface section of the Z-Stack User's Guide: dev.ti.com/.../application_overview.html

I test and verify this with PuTTy and it works like magic every time.
