hi...
What is the role of eeprom AT24C02B in the ATmega128RFA1 Evaluation Kit?
is it necessary for work bitcloud and zigbee ? |

| The external EEPROM is there for carrying hardware configuration information [one of the app notes discusses a structure for the data]. It is not "needed" as anything stored in it, can also be compiled/stored directly into your application. [while not needed, it is convenient, especially if your app can run on platforms with different RF front ends] |

The entire point of that separate EEPROM (which can also be found on
other Atmel transceiver boards) is to provide a "relatively safe"
space to store things like the IEEE address into. The normal MCU
EEPROM is prone to get its contents accidentally deleted when
reprogramming the CPU. |

thanks for answers...
in configuration file i see this:
# Whether or not the static addressing mode will be used
#----------------------------------------------------
#CS_NWK_UNIQUE_ADDR = true
CS_NWK_UNIQUE_ADDR = false
that`s mean in my case i never use eeprom?! |

It has nothing to do with this EEPROM.
External EEPROM is used by halReadUid() to read UID value at startup. |

hi alexru...
thanks my friend...
i design and built a pcb like ATmega128RFA1 Evaluation Kit i got serial out put in true format and led behavior is true but i don`t know why my device(router) cant join to the other node(original ATmega128RFA1 Evaluation Kit(coordinator))
just green led blanking while other router(original ATmega128RFA1 Evaluation Kit(router))joined to the coordinator!?
please guide me...! |

| Set CS_UID to a non-zero value on your board, since it does not have UID chip. |

i set this:
for coordinator=CS_UID = 0x12346LL (original)
router1=CS_UID = 0x12347LL(original)
router2=CS_UID = 0x12348LL(my pcb)
router1 join to coordinator but router2 can`t join:( |

RF performance will be very bad on this one:
1. Never place antenna in the middle of the board, surrounded by other components.
2. Never use thru-hole components in RF path. |

| You need to find out the value of confirmInfo->status returned in ZDO_StartNetworkConf(). Use debugger, UART or any other method you might think of. |

Great idea.
BTW, it is quite possible that RF performance is that poor, that device can't even join the network. Status code will show it anyway. |

Hi again..!
I designed and made a new pcd like ATmega128RFA1 Evaluation Kit
...
the device finally could join to coordinator...
and i could see antenna icon in wsn monitor...
but after couple of seconds(about 10s) router icon(my board) disappears!!!
i think the device goes to hang state because the green led not blinking when leaves the network.
but i do not know why?!
please guide me...
thanks |

| You probably need to disable BSP in configuration.h. |

thanks:)
in configuration.h i found only this with bsp:
# Enable on boards with managed USART to RS232 converter
#BSP_ENABLE_RS232_CONTROL = 1
BSP_ENABLE_RS232_CONTROL = 0
is this true?
and why i must disable this? |

| One of the first lines: "#define APP_DISABLE_BSP 0", change it to "1". It will disable reading of sensors that you don't have. I'm not sure it will be the problem for megaRF, but you may try. |

| This is not configuration.h file, is it? You are using very old version of BitCloud. |

i downloaded version 13:)...
but my device only one time blinking(green led) and then stop(both coordinator and router).
this happened when i have another node in my network while my device works correctly lonely and searching for devices...
please guide me how can i find my problem? |

| I would also set CS_UID to a non-zero value, just for test. If it does not work after that, then you'll have to debug and look where it gets stuck. |

i set CS_UID manually...
coordinator= CS_UID 0x111LL
and my routers is=222 and 333...
but still have a problem:(....
which way you suggest me to debug my board?
i connected a character lcd(2*16) to my board and i can monitor every where...!!
thanks for guiding me:)... |
