When having several ZigBee Networks in the same area, and therefore several potential parents, it may become necessary to join one of them and discard the rest. While having a mechanism to only accept joining devices when desired is the best method (like using a button to trigger the joining), it might not always be possible since the parent nodes could be commercial devices or another vendor’s product without this feature. Below are some mechanisms that could be used for this purpose. In general, when searching for suitable parents, the process is as follows: ZDO of device to join sends a MAC scan request. The MAC layer starts scan. For every beacon it receives, it sends a beacon notify indication that is processed in ParseBeaconNotifincaiton() function from AppStackImpl.c The ParseBeaconNotifincaiton() function will add the relevant information in the discovery table and for this it needs a free entry, so it calls GetFreeEntryInDiscoveryTable() function with reuse parameter as FALSE. If the table is full, it will call GetFreeEntryInDiscoveryTable() with reuse set to TRUE to literally re-use low priority entries. When the MAC scan has finished, it will send a MAC scan confirm. When this reaches ZDO, the SearchForSuitableParent() function is called. At this point, there are several approaches that could be used: Use a specific Extended PAN ID to search only for a specific parent node Use a specific PAN ID to prioritize the network’s ID Search in a specific Channel where network is supposed to be operating in All these parameters are configurable in ApplicationConf.h file of the project’s Configure Folder and used in SearchForSuitableParent() function to filter Discovery table entries. Nevertheless, those solutions are not always the best for all applications since it may require hard-coding the network’s parameters. Fortunately, BeeStack leaves all this open for any modification in case it is necessary. In brief, if the discovery table gets full with suitable parents that you DO NOT want to use, you should update the "if(reuse)" statement of the GetFreeEntryInDiscoveryTable() function to replace an entry. In other words, if you think that the desired parent is not present in the discovery table (due to its size limitation or other reason), you should update the GetFreeEntryInDiscoveryTable() function to make sure discovery table contains only devices that are of interest to your node. Please note that the criteria used to select the desired parents is totally application specific. As mentioned, it is always best having a way to trigger the joining such as a button so the rest of parents have permit join set to FALSE and therefore join only to the desired parent without having to implement custom code. Anyway, you may select the solution that meets your application’s requirements the most.

There are two patches for HDMI Dongle JB4.2, one is remove the warning message, the other is fix to that sleep will not recover. Jack Mao

This document provides the calculation of the Bluetooth Low Power consumption linked to the setting of the Kinetis.   The Power Profile Calculator is build to provide the power consumption of your application. It's a mix between real measurements in voltage and temperature. The process is not taken into account which may create some variation.   DISCLAIMER: This excel workbook is provided as an estimation tool for NXP customers and is based on power profile measurements done on a set of randomly selected parts. A specific part may exhibit deviation from the nominal measurements used on this tool.   This document is the summary of all the information available in the AN12459 Power Consumption Analysis - FRDM-KW38 available in the NXP web page.   Several parameters could be fill-in: Buck or bypass mode (DCDC) Supply Voltage (2.4V to 3.6V) Temperature (-40°C to +105°C) Processor configuration (20MHz, 32MHz or 48MHz) 10 different deep sleep modes Different Tx output power (0dBm, +3.5dBm or +5dBm) Data rate (1Mbps, 2Mbps, 500kbps, 125kbps) Possibility to set the Advertising interval, connection interval, scan interval and active scan windows duration Fix the Bluetooth Packet sizes in Advertising and Connection  Tx/Rx payload.   One optional information is to provide an idea of the duration life time on 9 typical batteries.

Hello community, This time I bring to you a document which explains how easy is to add a new endpoint and a new cluster to a ZigBee device in the BeeStack in BeeKit. This document is based in the MC1323x MCUs but the procedure applies to the Kinetis devices. Before to start you need to install the BeeKit Wireless Connectivity Toolkit​. If you are interested about what an endpoint is, the document ZigBee Endpoints Reserved could be useful for you. I hope you find this guide useful. Enjoy this guide, enjoy ZigBee! Any feedback is welcome. Best regards, Earl Orlando Ramírez-Sánchez Technical Support Engineer NXP Semiconductors

This document describes a simple process for enabling the user controls the radio through serial commands. Hardware requirements: • FRDM-KW41Z/QN902x board or a board programmed with HCI black box application. Software requirements: • Test Tool 12 application. It can be downloaded from the NXP web page. • HCI Black Box binary.   Running Demo 1. Load the board with hci_black_box example. 2. Open the Test Tool 12 software 3. Set up the correct Serial Configuration. If there were no changes in the application the default configuration will correspond to the one showed in the following figure. 4. Double click on the active device that you want to test, this will open the COM port in the command console. 5. Set the command set to the BLE_HCI.xml. This file has a list of the HCI commands that the user can send to the device, some of the commands have some options to be configured if necessary or some data to be filled. 6. To make easier the use of frequent commands, there is the option to add a shortcut to the command and the chosen behavior will be added to the panel. 7. Once you add the shortcut or choose the command or your preference, just double click over it and the tool will send the command to the device. In this case, we will send a reset on the board, this command does not receive any extra parameters, data or need any extra configuration.   8. If successful there will be a response or acknowledge of the behavior that will be shown in the right panel. Hope it helps. Regards, Mario
