This document and the attached files are maintained up to date in collaboration with Dragos Musoiu. This document is a supplement for USB MSC device bootloader revision for FRDM-KL25Z (IAR) written by Kai Liu and describes the bootloader support for USB-KW24D512. How to use 1) Connect the USB-KW24D512 to the PC USB port; 2) Download the attached file ‘USB_KW24D512_MSD_Bootloader.bin’ to the flash memory of the MKW24D512 SiP following the next steps: Connect a J-Link programmer to the PC USB port (other than the one used for the USB-KW24D512 dongle); Navigate to your J-Link driver folder using a command console and type ‘jlink.exe’ followed by enter; After the apparition of the J-Link prompter, type ‘unlock kinetis’ followed by enter; Wait for the unlock command confirmation and after, type ‘device mkw24d512xxx5’ followed by enter; After the J-Link prompter appears type ‘loadbin USB_KW24D512_MSD_Bootloader.bin 0’ followed by enter; (Be sure you copied the ‘USB_KW24D512_MSD_Bootloader.bin’ file in the same directory with jlink.exe otherwise, type the command specifying the full path of the binary file); After the flashing process successfully finished type ‘exit’ followed by enter. 3) Reset or reconnect the USB-KW24D512; 4) The OS will prompt MSD device connecting and then BOOTLOADER drive will appear. The bootloader software was tested on Microsoft Windows 10, Microsoft Windows 8.1, Microsoft Windows 7, Ubuntu 14.04 and MAC operating systems. 5) Copy and paste any user application .SREC or .bin file into BOOTLOADER drive; 6) If a valid .SREC or .bin file was given, the board restarts and starts to run the user application. Please refer to the Notes section in order to create valid .SREC or .bin files. Note:            The bootloader has conditional jump to user application. The condition is the state of the SW1 button (PTC4). If the button is pressed (PTC4 grounded) during reset, the bootloader sequence will start, installing BOOTLOADER drive, as described before. Else if the button is released during reset, the SP and PC will be updated from address 0xC000. This means, the user application has to use a linker file which forces the application start address to 0xC000. If a valid SP and PC value is found at address 0xC000, the user application is launched. The bootloader application is located in the flash memory of the MKW24D512 SiP, from address 0x0000 to 0xBFFF, so the user application should not put any code in this memory region. Avoid using .SREC or .bin files having program bytes or fill patterns in the bootloader section. Attached files: USB_KW24D512_MSD_Bootloader.bin – bootloader binary file for USB-KW24D512; Pflash_512KB_0xC000.icf – IAR linker file for user application development; 802.15.4SnifferOnUSB.bin – user application demo binary file for KW24D512-USB. Be aware that the file ‘802.15.4SnifferOnUSB.srec’ is linked according to the above memory restrictions and is working only with the bootloader presented in this document.

Overview Bluetooth Low Energy offers the ability to broadcast data in format of non-connectable advertising packets while not being in a connection. This GAP Advertisement is widely known as a beacon and is used in today’s IoT applications in different forms. This article will present the current beacon format in our demo application from the KW40Z software package and how to create the most popular beacon formats on the market. The advertising packet format and payload are declared in the gAppAdvertisingData structure from app_config.c. This structure points to an array of AD elements, advScanStruct: static const gapAdStructure_t advScanStruct[] = {   {     .length = NumberOfElements(adData0) + 1,     .adType = gAdFlags_c,     .aData = (void *)adData0   },    {     .length = NumberOfElements(adData1) + 1,     .adType = gAdManufacturerSpecificData_c,     .aData = (void *)adData1   } }; Due to the fact that all beacons use the advertising flags structure and that the advertising PDU is 31 bytes in length (Bluetooth Low Energy v4.1), the maximum payload length is 28 bytes, including length and type for the AD elements. The AD Flags element is declared as it follows: static const uint8_t adData0[1] =  { (gapAdTypeFlags_t)(gLeGeneralDiscoverableMode_c | gBrEdrNotSupported_c) }; The demo application uses a hash function to generate a random UUID for the KW40Z default beacon. This is done in BleApp_Init: void BleApp_Init(void) {     sha1Context_t ctx;         /* Initialize sha buffer with values from SIM_UID */     FLib_MemCopy32Unaligned(&ctx.buffer[0], SIM_UIDL);     FLib_MemCopy32Unaligned(&ctx.buffer[4], SIM_UIDML);     FLib_MemCopy32Unaligned(&ctx.buffer[8], SIM_UIDMH);     FLib_MemCopy32Unaligned(&ctx.buffer[12], 0);          SHA1_Hash(&ctx, ctx.buffer, 16);         /* Updated UUID value from advertising data with the hashed value */     FLib_MemCpy(&gAppAdvertisingData.aAdStructures[1].aData[3], ctx.hash, 16); } When implementing a constant beacon payload, please bear in mind to disable this code section. KW40Z Default Beacon The KW40Z software implements a proprietary beacon with the maximum ADV payload and uses the following Manufacturer Specific Advertising Data structure of 26 bytes. This is the default implementation of the beacon demo example from the KW40Z Connectivity Software package. static uint8_t adData1[26] = {     /* Company Identifier*/     0xFF, 0x01     /* Beacon Identifier */     0xBC,     /* UUID */                  0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,                                   /* A */                     0x00, 0x00,     /* B */                     0x00, 0x00,     /* C */                     0x00, 0x00,     /* RSSI at 1m */            0x1E}; iBeacon iBeacon is a protocol designed by Apple. It uses a 20 byte payload that consists of the following identifying information [1] : To advertise an iBeacon packet, the user needs to change the second AD element, adData1, like below: static uint8_t adData1[25] = {                                0x4C, 0x00,                                   0x02, 0x15,         /* UUID */             0xD9, 0xB9, 0xEC, 0x1F, 0x39, 0x25, 0x43, 0xD0, 0x80, 0xA9, 0x1E, 0x39, 0xD4, 0xCE, 0xA9, 0x5C,         /* Major Version */    0x00, 0x01         /* Minor Version */    0x00, 0x0A,                                0xC5}; AltBeacon AltBeacon is an open specification designed for proximity beacon advertisements [2]. It also uses a Manufacturer Specific Advertising Data structure: To advertise an AltBeacon packet, the user needs to change the second AD element, like below: static uint8_t adData1[26] = {     /* MFG ID*/         0xFF, 0x01,     /* Beacon Code */   0xBE, 0xAC,     /* Beacon ID */     0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04,     /* Ref RSSI*/       0xC5,     /* MFG RSVD*/       0x00}; Eddystone™ Eddystone™ is an open Bluetooth® Smart beacon format from Google [3]. It offers three data type packets: Eddystone™-UID Eddystone™-URL Eddystone™-TLM Eddystone™ uses two advertising structures: Complete List of 16-bit Service UUIDs structure, which contains the Eddystone Service UUID (0xFEAA). Service Data structure, which also contains the Eddystone™ Service UUID (0xFEAA). Thus, advScanStruct will now have 3 elements: static const gapAdStructure_t advScanStruct[] = {   {     .length = NumberOfElements(adData0) + 1,     .adType = gAdFlags_c,     .aData = (void *)adData0   },    {     .length = NumberOfElements(adData1) + 1,     .adType = gAdComplete16bitServiceList_c,     .aData = (void *)adData1   },   {     .length = NumberOfElements(adData2) + 1,     .adType = gAdServiceData16bit_c,     .aData = (void *)adData2   } }; The complete List of 16-bit Service UUIDs element will look like: static const uint8_t adData1[2] =  { 0xAA, 0xFE }; Eddystone™-UID Eddystone™-UID broadcasts a unique 16-bit Beacon ID to identify a particular device in a group. The Service Data block has the following structure: To implement this, the user needs to add a third AD element, as follows: static uint8_t adData2[22] = {     /* ID */ 0xAA, 0xFE,     /* Frame Type */    0x00,     /* Ranging Data */  0xEE,     /* Namespace */     0x8B, 0x0C, 0xA7, 0x50, 0x09, 0x54, 0x77, 0xCB, 0x3E, 0x77,     /* Instance */      0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01,     /* RFU */           0x00, 0x00}; Eddystone™-URL Eddystone™-URL broadcasts a compressed URL. The Service Data block has the following structure: In this example, we will implement a beacon which will advertise NXP’s webpage, http://www.nxp.com. To implement this, the user needs to add a third AD element, as follows: static const uint8_t adData2[9] = {     /* ID */ 0xAA, 0xFE,     /* Frame Type */    0x10,     /* TX Power */      0xEE,     /* URL scheme */    0x00,     /* Encode URL */    'n', 'x, 'p', 0x07}; Eddystone™-TLM Eddystone™-TLM broadcasts telemetry data about the beacon device operation. The Service Data block has the following structure: To implement this, the user needs to add a third AD element, as follows: static uint8_t adData2[16] = {     /* ID */ 0xAA, 0xFE,     /* Frame Type */    0x20,     /* TLM Version */   0x00,     /* VBATT */        0x00, 0x00,     /* TEMP */         0x00, 0x00,     /* ADV_CNT */      0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,     /* SEC_CNT */      0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00};

Introduction Over The Air Programming (OTAP) is a Bluetooth LE custom NXP's service that provides a solution to upgrade the software running in the microcontroller. This document guides to load a new software image in a KW38 device through (Over The Air Programming) OTAP Bluetooth LE service. Software Requirements MCUXpresso IDE or IAR Embedded Workbench IDE. FRDM-KW38 SDK. IoT Toolbox App, available for Android and iOS. You can also download the APK of the IoT Toolbox App from this post: IoT Toolbox for Android  Hardware Requirements FRDM-KW38 board. A smartphone with IoT Toolbox App. KW38 Flash Memory Used by the OTAP Client Software During the Update Process By default, the 512KB KW38 flash memory is partitioned into: One 256KB Program Flash array (P-Flash) divided into 2KB sectors with a flash address range from 0x0000_0000 to 0x0003_FFFF. One 256KB FlexNVM array divided into 2KB sectors with address range from 0x1000_0000 to 0x1003_FFFF. Alias memory with address range from 0x0004_0000 to 0x0007_FFFF. Writes or reads at the Alias memory modifies or returns the FlexNVM content, respectively. In other words, Alias memory is another way to refer to FlexNVM memory using different addresses. The following statements simplify how does the OTAP service work:   The OTAP application consists of two independent parts, OTAP bootloader, and OTAP client. The OTAP bootloader verifies if there is a new image available in the OTAP client to reprogram the device. The OTAP client software, on the other hand, provides the Bluetooth LE custom service needed to communicate the OTAP client device (device to be reprogrammed) with the OTAP server device (device that contains the image to reprogram the OTAP client device). Therefore, to prepare the software for the first time, the OTAP client device needs to be programmed twice, first with the OTAP bootloader, and then with the OTAP client software. The mechanism created to have two different software coexisting in the same device is storing each one in different memory regions. This is achieved by indicating to the linker file different memory regions on each individual software. For the KW38 device, the OTAP bootloader has reserved an 8KB slot from 0x0000_0000 to 0x0000_1FFF, thus the rest of the memory is reserved, among other things, by the OTAP client software.     When generating the new image file for the OTAP client device, we need to specify to the linker file that the code will be placed with an offset of 8KB (as the OTAP client software does), since these address range must be preserved to do not overwrite the OTAP bootloader. The new application should also contain the bootloader flags at the corresponding address to work properly (later we will return to this point).     While OTAP client and OTAP server devices are connected, and the download is in progress, the OTAP server device sends the image packets (known as chunks) to the OTAP client device via Bluetooth LE. The OTAP client device can store these chunks, in the external SPI flash (which is already populated on the FRDM-KW38) or in the on-chip FlexNVM region. The destination for these chunks is selectable in the OTAP client software (This post will give the instructions to modify the destination).     When the transfer of the image has finished, and all chunks were sent from the OTAP server device to the OTAP client device, the OTAP client software writes information such as the source of the software update (either external flash or FlexNVM) in a portion of memory known as bootloader flags. Then the OTAP client performs a software reset on the MCU to execute the OTAP bootloader code. Then, the OTAP bootloader code reads the bootloader flags to get the information needed to reprogram the device with the new application. See the following flow diagram which explains the flow of both applications.   Because the new application was built with an offset of 8KB, the OTAP bootloader programs the device starting from the 0x0000_2000 address, so, in consequence, the OTAP client application is overwritten by the new image. Then, the OTAP bootloader moves the flow of the application to start the execution of the new code.     In practice, the boundary between the OTAP client software and the software update when FlexNVM storage is enabled described in statement 3 is not placed exactly in the boundary of the P-Flash and FlexNVM memory regions, moreover, these values might change depending on your linker settings. To know where is located the boundary, you should inspect the effective memory addressing in your project.        Configuring and Programming OTAP Client Software in IAR Embedded Workbench IDE As mentioned in the last section, to complete the software for OTAP implementation, there are required two software programmed in your FRDM-KW38, OTAP bootloader and OTAP client. This section guides you to program and configure the settings to choose between external or internal storage using the IAR Embedded Workbench IDE. 1- The first step is to program the OTAP bootloader in your KW38. Unzip your SDK and then locate the OTAP bootloader software in the following path: <KW38_SDK>\boards\frdmkw38\wireless_examples\framework\bootloader_otap\bm\iar\bootloader_otap.eww 2- Program the OTAP bootloader project on your board by clicking on the "Download and Debug" icon (Ctrl + D) . Once the KW38 was programmed and the debug session begun, abort the session (Ctrl + Caps Lock + D)  to stop the MCU safely. 3- At this point, you have programmed the OTAP bootloader in your KW38. The next is to program and configure the OTAP client software. Locate the OTAP client software at the following path: Freertos project version: <KW38_SDK>\boards\frdmkw38\wireless_examples\bluetooth\otac_att\freertos\iar\otap_client_att_freertos.eww Baremetal project version: <KW38_SDK>\boards\frdmkw38\wireless_examples\bluetooth\otac_att\bm\iar\otap_client_att_bm.eww 4- Then, configure the OTAP client to select external or internal storage. To select the external storage, follow the next steps (this is the default configuration in the SDK project): 4.1- Locate the "app_preinclude.h" header file in the source folder of your workspace. Search the "gEepromType_d" define and set its value to "gEepromDevice_AT45DB041E_c". /* Specifies the type of EEPROM available on the target board */ #define gEepromType_d gEepromDevice_AT45DB041E_c 4.2- Open the project options window (Alt + F7). Go to Linker->Config window and set "gUseInternalStorageLink_d=0".   To select the internal storage, follow the next steps: 4.1- Locate the "app_preinclude.h" header file in the source folder of your workspace. Search the "gEepromType_d" define and set its value to "gEepromDevice_InternalFlash_c". /* Specifies the type of EEPROM available on the target board */ #define gEepromType_d gEepromDevice_InternalFlash_c 4.2- Open the project options window (Alt + F7). Go to Linker->Config window and set "gUseInternalStorageLink_d=1".   5- Once you have configured the storage settings, save the changes in the project. Then program the software on your board by clicking on the "Download and Debug" icon (Ctrl + D)  . Once the KW38 was programmed and the debug session began, abort the session (Ctrl + Caps Lock + D)  to stop the MCU safely. Creating an SREC Image to Update the Software in OTAP Client in IAR Embedded Workbench IDE This section shows how to create an image compatible with OTAP to reprogram the KW38 OTAP Client using as a starting point, our wireless examples with IAR Embedded Workbench IDE. 1- Select any example from your SDK package in the Bluetooth folder and open it using the IAR IDE. Bluetooth examples are located in the following path: <KW38_SDK>\boards\frdmkw38\wireless_examples\bluetooth  In this example, we will use the glucose sensor project: <KW38_SDK>\boards\frdmkw38\wireless_examples\bluetooth\glucose_s\freertos\iar\glucose_sensor_freertos.eww 2- Open the project options window in IAR (Alt + F7). In Linker->Config window, edit the options to include the "gUseBootloaderLink_d=1" flag and update the "gEraseNVMLink_d=0" flag. When the gUseBootlaoderLink_d flag is true, it indicates to the linker file that the image must be addressed after the first flash sector, to do not overwrite the OTAP Bootloader software (as we stated previously). On the other hand, the gEraseNVMLink_d symbol is used to fill with a 0xFF pattern the unused NVM flash memory region. Disabling this flag, our software image will not contain this pattern, in consequence, the image reduces its total size and it improves the speed of the OTAP download and memory usage. 3- Go to "Output Converter" window. Deselect the "Override default" checkbox, then expand the "Output format" combo box and select "Motorola S-records" format. Click the "OK" button to finish. 4- Build the project. 5- Locate the S-Record file (.srec) in the following path, and save it to a known location on your smartphone. <KW38_SDK>\boards\frdmkw38\wireless_examples\bluetooth\glucose_s\freertos\iar\debug\glucose_sensor_freertos.srec Configuring and Programming OTAP Client Software in MCUXpresso IDE As mentioned in a previous section, to complete the software for OTAP implementation, there are required two software programmed in your FRDM-KW38, OTAP bootloader and OTAP client. This section guides you to program and configure the settings to choose between external or internal storage using the MCUXpresso IDE. 1- Open MCUXpresso IDE. Click on "Import SDK example(s)" in the "Quickstart Panel". 2- Select the FRDM-KW38 icon and click "Next >". 3- Import the OTAP bootloader project. It is located in "wireless_examples -> framework -> bootloader_otap -> bm -> bootloader_otap". Click on the "Finish" button. 4- Program the OTAP bootloader project on your board by clicking on the "Debug" icon  . Once the KW38 was programmed and the debug session begun, abort the session  (Ctrl + F2) to stop the MCU safely. 5- Repeat steps 1 to 3 to import the OTAP client software on MCUXpresso IDE. It is located at "wireless_examples -> bluetooth -> otac_att -> freertos -> otap_client_att_freertos" for freertos version, or "wireless_examples -> bluetooth -> otac_att -> bm -> otap_client_bm_freertos" if you prefer baremetal instead. 6- Then, configure the OTAP client to select external or internal storage. To select the external storage, follow the next steps (this is the default configuration in the SDK project): 6.1- Locate the "app_preinclude.h" file under the source folder in your workspace. Search the "gEepromType_d" define and set its value to "gEepromDevice_AT45DB041E_c". /* Specifies the type of EEPROM available on the target board */ #define gEepromType_d gEepromDevice_AT45DB041E_c 6.2- Navigate to "Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> MCU settings -> Memory details". Edit the Flash fields as shown in the figure below, and leave intact the RAM. To select the internal storage, follow the next steps: 6.1- Locate the "app_preinclude.h" file under the source folder in your workspace. Search the "gEepromType_d" define and set its value to "gEepromDevice_InternalFlash_c". /* Specifies the type of EEPROM available on the target board */ #define gEepromType_d gEepromDevice_InternalFlash_c 6.2- Navigate to "Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> MCU settings -> Memory details". Edit the Flash fields as shown in the figure below, and leave intact the RAM. 7- Once you have configured the storage settings, save the changes in the project. Then program the software on your board by clicking on the "Debug" icon  . Once the KW38 was programmed and the debug session begun, abort the session  (Ctrl + F2) to stop the MCU safely. Creating an SREC Image to Update the Software in OTAP Client in MCUXpresso IDE This section shows how to create an image compatible with OTAP to reprogram the KW38 OTAP Client using as a starting point, our wireless examples with MCUXpresso IDE. 1- Import any example from your SDK package in the Bluetooth folder as explained previously. Bluetooth examples are located in "wireless_examples -> bluetooth" folder in the SDK Import Wizard. This example will make use of the glucose sensor project in "wireless_examples -> bluetooth -> glucose_s -> freertos -> glucose_sensor_freertos". See the picture below. 2- Navigate to "Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> MCU settings -> Memory details". Edit the Flash fields as shown in the figure below, and leave intact the RAM. The last fields indicate to the linker file that the image must be addressed after the first flash sector, to do not overwrite the OTAP bootloader software, as we stated in the introduction of this post. 3- Unzip your KW38 SDK package. Drag and drop the "main_text_section.ldt" linker script from the following path to the "linkscripts" folder on your workspace. The result must be similar as shown in the following figure. <KW38_SDK>\middleware\wireless\framework\Common\devices\MKW38A4\mcux\linkscript_bootloader\main_text_section.ldt 4- Open the "end_text.ldt" linker script file located in the linkscripts folder in MCUXpresso IDE. Locate the section shown in the following figure and remove "FILL" and "BYTE" statements. BYTE and FILL lines are used to fill with a 0xFF pattern the unused NVM flash memory region. Removing this code, our software image will not contain this pattern, in consequence, the image reduces its total size and it improves the speed of the OTAP download and memory usage. 5- Open the "app_preinclude.h" file, and define "gEepromType_d" as internal storage. This is a dummy definition needed to place the bootloader flags in the proper address, so this will not affect the storage method chosen before when you programmed the OTAP client and the OTAP bootloader software in your MCU. /* Specifies the type of EEPROM available on the target board */ #define gEepromType_d gEepromDevice_InternalFlash_c 6-  Include in your project, the "OtaSupport" folder and its files in the "framework" folder of your project. Include as well the "External" folder and its files in the "framework -> Flash" folder of your project. "OtaSupport" and "External" folders can be found in your SDK. You can easily drag those folders from your SDK download path and drop it into your workspace in MCUXpresso to include them. "OtaSupport" and "External" folders are located at: OtaSupport <KW38_SDK>middleware\wireless\framework\OtaSupport External <KW38_SDK>middleware\wireless\framework\Flash\External The result must look like the following picture:  7- Go to "Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Tool Settings -> MCU C Compiler -> Includes". Click on the icon next to "Include paths" (See the picture below). A new window will be displayed, then click on the "Workspace" button. 8- Deploy the directory of the project in the "Folder selection" window, and select "framework -> Flash -> External -> interface" and "framework -> OtaSupport -> interface" folders. Click the "OK" button to save the changes. 9- Ensure that "OtaSupport" and "External" folders were imported in the "Include paths" window. Then save the changes by clicking on the "Apply and Close" button. 10- Save and build the project by clicking this icon  . Then, deploy the "Binaries" icon in your project. Click the right mouse button on the ".axf" file and select the "Binary Utilities -> Create S-Record" option. The S-Record file generated will be saved in the Debug folder in your workspace with ".s19" extension. Save the S-Record file in a known location on your smartphone.    Testing the OTAP Client with IoT Toolbox App This section explains how to test the OTAP client software using the IoT Toolbox App. 1- Open the IoT Toolbox App on your smartphone. Select OTAP and click "SCAN" to start scanning for a suitable OTAP Client device.  2- Press the ADV button (SW2) on your FRDM-KW38 board to start advertising. 3- Once your smartphone has found the FRDM-KW38 board, it will be identified as "NXP_OTAA". Connect your smartphone with this device. Then a new window will be displayed on your smartphone.  4- Click the "Open" button and search for the SREC software update. 5- Click "Upload" to start the transfer. Wait while the download is completed. A confirmation message will be displayed after a successful update.  6- Wait a few seconds until the software update was programmed on your MCU. The new code will start automatically.   Please let me know any questions about this topic.

This document describes how to add additional cluster to the Router application in the JN-AN-1217 ZigBee 3.0 Base Device Application Note. The Router application's main endpoint contains Basic, Groups, Identify and OnOff server. The steps below describe how to add two clusters to Router: Temperature Measurement server and OnOff client. Note that these changes only go as far as making the new clusters added and discoverable, no functionality has been added to these clusters.  Common/Source/app.zpscfg The first step is to update the ZigBee PRO Stack Configuration file to add the new clusters (OnOff Client, Temperature Measurement Server) to the Router application endpoint. The HA profile already contains few clusters but Temperature Measurement cluster was added:   The OnOff client was already present in Router endpoint but the Temperature Measurement cluster was then added into Router application endpoint:   Router/Build/Makefile For cluster belonging to General domain, the cluster code is automatically build and linked but for other domains, the compiling and linking needs to be enabled. As Temperature Measurement belongs to Measurement and Sensing domain, enable the cluster code in Makefile: Router/Source/zcl_options.h This file is used to set the options used by the ZCL. Enable Clusters The cluster functionality for the router endpoint was enabled:   Enable any optional Attributes and Commands for the clusters  Add the cluster creation and initialization into ZigBee Base device definitions The cluster functionality for some of the clusters is already present on ZigBee Base Device.

In this document we will be seeing how to create a BLE demo application for an adopted BLE profile based on another demo application with a different profile. In this demo, the Pulse Oximeter Profile will be implemented.  The PLX (Pulse Oximeter) Profile was adopted by the Bluetooth SIG on 14th of July 2015. You can download the adopted profile and services specifications on https://www.bluetooth.org/en-us/specification/adopted-specifications. The files that will be modified in this post are, app.c,  app_config.c, app_preinclude.h, gatt_db.h, pulse_oximeter_service.c and pulse_oximeter_interface.h. A profile can have many services, the specification for the PLX profile defines which services need to be instantiated. The following table shows the Sensor Service Requirements. Service Sensor Pulse Oximeter Service Mandatory Device Information Service Mandatory Current Time Service Optional Bond Management Service Optional Battery Service Optional Table 1. Sensor Service Requirements For this demo we will instantiate the PLX service, the Device Information Service and the Battery Service. Each service has a source file and an interface file, the device information and battery services are already implemented, so we will only need to create the pulse_oximeter_interface.h file and the pulse_oximeter_service.c file. The PLX Service also has some requirements, these can be seen in the PLX service specification. The characteristic requirements for this service are shown in the table below. Characteristic Name Requirement Mandatory Properties Security Permissions PLX Spot-check Measurement C1 Indicate None PLX Continuous Measurement C1 Notify None PLX Features Mandatory Read None Record Access Control Point C2 Indicate, Write None Table 2. Pulse Oximeter Service Characteristics C1: Mandatory to support at least one of these characteristics. C2: Mandatory if measurement storage is supported for Spot-check measurements. For this demo, all the characteristics will be supported. Create a folder for the pulse oximeter service in  \ConnSw\bluetooth\profiles named pulse_oximeter and create the pulse_oximeter_service.c file. Next, go to the interface folder in \ConnSw\bluetooth\profiles and create the pulse_oximeter_interface.h file. At this point these files will be blank, but as we advance in the document we will be adding the service implementation and the interface macros and declarations. Clonate a BLE project with the cloner tool. For this demo the heart rate sensor project was clonated. You can choose an RTOS between bare metal or FreeRTOS. You will need to change some workspace configuration.  In the bluetooth->profiles->interface group, remove the interface file for the heart rate service and add the interface file that we just created. Rename the group named heart_rate in the bluetooth->profiles group to pulse_oximeter and remove the heart rate service source file and add the pulse_oximeter_service.c source file. These changes will be saved on the actual workspace, so if you change your RTOS you need to reconfigure your workspace. To change the device name that will be advertised you have to change the advertising structure located in app_config.h. /* Scanning and Advertising Data */ static const uint8_t adData0[1] = { (gapAdTypeFlags_t)(gLeGeneralDiscoverableMode_c | gBrEdrNotSupported_c) }; static const uint8_t adData1[2] = { UuidArray(gBleSig_PulseOximeterService_d)}; static const gapAdStructure_t advScanStruct[] = { { .length = NumberOfElements(adData0) + 1, .adType = gAdFlags_c, .aData = (void *)adData0 }, { .length = NumberOfElements(adData1) + 1, .adType = gAdIncomplete16bitServiceList_c, .aData = (void *)adData1 }, { .adType = gAdShortenedLocalName_c, .length = 8, .aData = "FSL_PLX" } }; ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ We also need to change the address of the device so we do not have conflicts with another device with the same address. The definition for the address is located in app_preinclude.h and is called BD_ADDR. In the demo it was changed to: #define BD_ADDR 0xBE,0x00,0x00,0x9F,0x04,0x00 ‍‍‍ Add the definitions in ble_sig_defines.h located in Bluetooth->host->interface for the UUID’s of the PLX service and its characteristics. /*! Pulse Oximeter Service UUID */ #define gBleSig_PulseOximeterService_d 0x1822 /*! PLX Spot-Check Measurement Characteristic UUID */ #define gBleSig_PLXSpotCheckMeasurement_d 0x2A5E /*! PLX Continuous Measurement Characteristic UUID */ #define gBleSig_PLXContinuousMeasurement_d 0x2A5F /*! PLX Features Characteristic UUID */ #define gBleSig_PLXFeatures_d 0x2A60 ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ We need to create the GATT database for the pulse oximeter service. The requirements for the service can be found in the PLX Service specification. The database is created at compile time and is defined in the gatt_db.h.  Each characteristic can have certain properties such as read, write, notify, indicate, etc. We will modify the existing database according to our needs. The database for the pulse oximeter service should look something like this. PRIMARY_SERVICE(service_pulse_oximeter, gBleSig_PulseOximeterService_d) CHARACTERISTIC(char_plx_spotcheck_measurement, gBleSig_PLXSpotCheckMeasurement_d, (gGattCharPropIndicate_c)) VALUE_VARLEN(value_PLX_spotcheck_measurement, gBleSig_PLXSpotCheckMeasurement_d, (gPermissionNone_c), 19, 3, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00) CCCD(cccd_PLX_spotcheck_measurement) CHARACTERISTIC(char_plx_continuous_measurement, gBleSig_PLXContinuousMeasurement_d, (gGattCharPropNotify_c)) VALUE_VARLEN(value_PLX_continuous_measurement, gBleSig_PLXContinuousMeasurement_d, (gPermissionNone_c), 20, 3, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00) CCCD(cccd_PLX_continuous_measurement) CHARACTERISTIC(char_plx_features, gBleSig_PLXFeatures_d, (gGattCharPropRead_c)) VALUE_VARLEN(value_plx_features, gBleSig_PLXFeatures_d, (gPermissionFlagReadable_c), 7, 2, 0x00, 0x00) CHARACTERISTIC(char_RACP, gBleSig_RaCtrlPoint_d, (gGattCharPropIndicate_c | gGattCharPropWrite_c)) VALUE_VARLEN(value_RACP, gBleSig_RaCtrlPoint_d, (gPermissionFlagWritable_c), 4, 3, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00) CCCD(cccd_RACP) ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ For more information on how to create a GATT database you can check the BLE Application Developer’s Guide chapter 7. Now we need to make the interface file that contains all the macros and declarations of the structures needed by the PLX service. Enumerated types need to be created for each of the flags field or status field of every characteristic of the service. For example, the PLX Spot-check measurement field has a flags field, so we declare an enumerated type that will help us keep the program organized and well structured. The enum should look something like this: /*! Pulse Oximeter Service - PLX Spotcheck Measurement Flags */ typedef enum { gPlx_TimestampPresent_c = BIT0, /* C1 */ gPlx_SpotcheckMeasurementStatusPresent_c = BIT1, /* C2 */ gPlx_SpotcheckDeviceAndSensorStatusPresent_c = BIT2, /* C3 */ gPlx_SpotcheckPulseAmplitudeIndexPresent_c = BIT3, /* C4 */ gPlx_DeviceClockNotSet_c = BIT4 } plxSpotcheckMeasurementFlags_tag; ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ The characteristics that will be indicated or notified need to have a structure type that contains all the fields that need to be transmitted to the client. Some characteristics will not always notify or indicate the same fields, this varies depending on the flags field and the requirements for each field. In order to notify a characteristic we need to check the flags in the measurement structure to know which fields need to be transmitted. The structure for the PLX Spot-check measurement should look something like this: /*! Pulse Oximeter Service - Spotcheck Measurement */ typedef struct plxSpotcheckMeasurement_tag { ctsDateTime_t timestamp; /* C1 */ plxSpO2PR_t SpO2PRSpotcheck; /* M */ uint32_t deviceAndSensorStatus; /* C3 */ uint16_t measurementStatus; /* C2 */ ieee11073_16BitFloat_t pulseAmplitudeIndex; /* C4 */ uint8_t flags; /* M */ }plxSpotcheckMeasurement_t; ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ The service has a configuration structure that contains the service handle, the initial features of the PLX Features characteristic and a pointer to an allocated space in memory to store spot-check measurements. The interface will also declare some functions such as Start, Stop, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Record Measurements and the control point handler. /*! Pulse Oximeter Service - Configuration */ typedef struct plxConfig_tag { uint16_t serviceHandle; plxFeatures_t plxFeatureFlags; plxUserData_t *pUserData; bool_t procInProgress; } plxConfig_t; ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ The service source file implements the service specific functionality. For example, in the PLX service, there are functions to record the different types of measurements, store a spot-check measurement in the database, execute a procedure for the RACP characteristic, validate a RACP procedure, etc. It implements the functions declared in the interface and some static functions that are needed to perform service specific tasks. To initialize the service you use the start function. This function initializes some characteristic values. In the PLX profile, the Features characteristic is initialized and a timer is allocated to indicate the spot-check measurements periodically when the Report Stored Records procedure is written to the RACP characteristic. The subscribe and unsubscribe functions are used to update the device identification when a device is connected to the server or disconnected. bleResult_t Plx_Start (plxConfig_t *pServiceConfig) { mReportTimerId = TMR_AllocateTimer(); return Plx_SetPLXFeatures(pServiceConfig->serviceHandle, pServiceConfig->plxFeatureFlags); } ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ All of the services implementations follow a similar template, each service can have certain characteristics that need to implement its own custom functions. In the case of the PLX service, the Record Access Control Point characteristic will need many functions to provide the full functionality of this characteristic. It needs a control point handler, a function for each of the possible procedures, a function to validate the procedures, etc. When the application makes a measurement it must fill the corresponding structure and call a function that will write the attribute in the database with the correct fields and then send an indication or notification. This function is called RecordMeasurement and is similar between the majority of the services. It receives the measurement structure and depending on the flags of the measurement, it writes the attribute in the GATT database in the correct format. One way to update a characteristic is to create an array of the maximum length of the characteristic and check which fields need to be added and keep an index to know how many bytes will be written to the characteristic by using the function GattDb_WriteAttribute(handle, index, &charValue[0]). The following function shows an example of how a characteristic can be updated. In the demo the function contains more fields, but the logic is the same. static bleResult_t Plx_UpdatePLXContinuousMeasurementCharacteristic ( uint16_t handle, plxContinuousMeasurement_t *pMeasurement ) { uint8_t charValue[20]; uint8_t index = 0; /* Add flags */ charValue[0] = pMeasurement->flags; index++; /* Add SpO2PR-Normal */ FLib_MemCpy(&charValue[index], &pMeasurement->SpO2PRNormal, sizeof(plxSpO2PR_t)); index += sizeof(plxSpO2PR_t); /* Add SpO2PR-Fast */ if (pMeasurement->flags & gPlx_SpO2PRFastPresent_c) { FLib_MemCpy(&charValue[index], &pMeasurement->SpO2PRFast, sizeof(plxSpO2PR_t)); index += sizeof(plxSpO2PR_t); } return GattDb_WriteAttribute(handle, index, &charValue[0]); } ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ The app.c handles the application specific functionality. In the PLX demo it handles the timer callback to make a PLX continuous measurement every second. It handles the key presses and makes a spot-check measurement each time the SW3 pushbutton is pressed. The GATT server callback receives an event when an attribute is written, and in our application the RACP characteristic is the only one that can be written by the client. When this event occurs, we call the Control Point Handler function. This function makes sure the indications are properly configured and check if another procedure is in progress. Then it calls the Send Procedure Response function, this function validates the procedure and calls the Execute Procedure function. This function will call one of the 4 possible procedures. It can call Report Stored Records, Report Number of Stored Records, Abort Operation or Delete Stored Records. When the project is running, the 4 LEDs will blink indicating an idle state. To start advertising, press the SW4 button and the LED1 will start flashing. When the device has connected to a client the LED1 will stop flashing and turn on. To disconnect the device, hold the SW4 button for some seconds. The device will return to an advertising state. In this demo, the spot-check measurement is made when the SW3 is pressed, and the continuous measurement is made every second. The spot-check measurement can be stored by the application if the Measurement Storage for spot-check measurements is supported (bit 2 of Supported Features Field in the PLX Features characteristic). The RACP characteristic lets the client control the database of the spot-check measurements, you can request the existing records, delete them, request the number of stored records or abort a procedure. To test the demo you can download and install a BLE Scanner application to your smartphone that supports BLE. Whit this app you should be able to discover the services in the sensor and interact with each characteristic. Depending on the app that you installed, it will parse known characteristics, but because the PLX profile is relatively new, these characteristics will not be parsed and the values will be displayed in a raw format. In Figure 1, the USB-KW40Z was used with the sniffer application to analyze the data exchange between the PLX sensor and the client. You can see how the sensor sends the measurements, and how the client interacts with the RACP characteristic. Figure 1. Sniffer log from USB-KW40Z

Bluetooth® Low-Energy (BLE) RF PHY tests can be done by using the Direct Test Mode (DTM).  This document will help as a guide to perform the test using a device from the KW family.     Direct Test Mode Direct Test Mode (DTM) is used to control the Device Under Test (DUT) and provides a report with the results from the tests performed by the Tester.   There are two ways to perform those tests:   HCI Through a 2-wire UART interface   The packet format from the DTM is different from the HCI commands.   For further information of the commands and this type of tests, please refer to the Bluetooth Core Specifications, Vol 6, Part F: Direct Test Mode   Software This guide will use the KW41Z as example, but the same changes must be applicable for the rest of the devices Download and install the software SDK of the device to use by following the getting started in the device page. In this case the SDK of the KW41Z will be downloaded from the MCUXpresso Builder. Setup for DTM using HCI Import the hci_black_box example to the IDE according to the getting started of the device.   Download and open the latest version of the Test Tool available in the page of the device under Lab & Test Software in the Software and Tools Tab. Open the Command console of the board, please be sure that you have the correct baud rate set for the example (Default: 115200) Select one of the available commands to either start or finish tests    Setup for DTM using DTM pins You can choose from any example available while making sure that the pins chosen for DTM  are not occupied or used. Import the beacon example to the IDE according to the getting started of the device.   The DTM pins behave as a UART interface; in order to enable them in our KW devices there is the need to follow the next steps Look at the Reference manual of the device and locate the pins that support the DTM_TX and the DTM_RX. In this case, we will select the PTB1 and PTB2.  Set the ALT_MUX of the pin in the code to work as DTM   PORT_SetPinMux(PORTB, PIN1_IDX, kPORT_MuxAlt2);            /* PORTB1 (pin 17) is configured as DTM_RX */   PORT_SetPinMux(PORTB, PIN2_IDX, kPORT_MuxAlt3);            /* PORTB2 (pin 18) is configured as DTM_TX */‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Configure the baud rate of the DTM pins, this can be achieved by writing to the DTM_2WIRE_CONFIG register. This register is not available in the header file by default, so there is the need to create a pointer to such address. To verify this data, you can check the chapter 45.2.3.1.4 Test and Debug Registers Descriptions for the Bluetooth Link Layer of the reference manual. #define DTM_2WIRE_CONFIG                0x580 #define BTLE_RF_DTM_2WIRE_CONFIG        (*(volatile uint16_t *) (BTLE_RF_BASE+DTM_2WIRE_CONFIG)) BTLE_RF_DTM_2WIRE_CONFIG = 0x0042;  /*Configure DTM pins baud rate of 115200*/‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I was investigating about how to create a current profile and I found interesting information I would like to share with the community. So, I decided to create an example to accomplish this task using BLE stack included in the MKW40Z Connectivity Software package. The demo to create is an Humidity Collector which make use of the Humidity custom profile and is based on the Temperature Collector demonstration application. The first thing to know is that the Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) establishes in detail how to exchange all profile and user data over a BLE connection. GATT deals only with actual data transfer procedures and formats. All standard BLE profiles are based on GATT and must comply with it to operate correctly. This makes GATT a key section of the BLE specification, because every single item of data relevant to applications and users must be formatted, packed, and sent according to the rules.                                      GATT defines two roles: Server and Client. The GATT server stores the data transported over the Attribute Protocol (ATT) and accepts Attribute Protocol requests, commands and confirmations from the GATT client. The GATT client accesses data on the remote GATT server via read, write, notify, or indicate operations. Notify and indicate operations are enabled by the client but initiated by the server, providing a way to push data to the client. Notifications are unacknowledged, while indications are acknowledged. Notifications are therefore faster, but less reliable. Figure 1. GATT Client-Server      GATT Database establishes a hierarchy to organize attributes. These are the Profile, Service, Characteristic and Descriptor. Profiles are high level definitions that define how services can be used to enable an application and Services are collections of characteristics. Descriptors defined attributes that describe a characteristic value. To define a GATT Database several macros are provided by the GATT_DB API in the Freescale BLE Stack, which is part KW40Z Connectivity Software package. Figure 2. GATT database      To know if the Profile or service is already defined in the specification, you have to look for in Bluetooth SIG profiles and check in the ble_sig_defines.h file if this is already declared in the code. In our case, the service is not declared, but the characteristic of the humidity is declared in the specification. Then, we need to check if the characteristic is already included in ble_sig_defines.h. Since, the characteristic is not included, we need to define it as shown next: /*! Humidity Charactristic UUID */ #define gBleSig_Humidity_d                      0x2A6F      The Humidity Collector is going to have the GATT client; this is the device that will receive all information from  the GATT server. Demo provided in this post works like the Temperature Collector. When the Collector enables the notifications from the sensor, received notifications will be printed in the serial terminal. In order to create the demo we need to define or develop a service that has to be the same as in the GATT Server, this is declared in the gatt_uuid128.h.If the new service is not the same, they will never be able to communicate each other. All macros function or structures in BLE stack of KW40Z Connectivity Software have a common template. Hence, we need to define this service in the gatt_uuid128.h as shown next: /* Humidity */ UUID128(uuid_service_humidity, 0xfe ,0x34 ,0x9b ,0x5f ,0x80 ,0x00 ,0x00 ,0x80 ,0x00 ,0x10 ,0x00 ,0x02 ,0x00 ,0xfa ,0x10 ,0x10)      During the scanning process is when the client is going to connect with the Server. Hence, function CheckScanEvent can help us to ensure that peer device or server device support the specified service, in this case, it will be the humidity service we just created in the previous step. Then, CheckScanEvent needs to check which device is on advertising mode and with MatchDataInAdvElementList to verify if it is the same uuid_service_humidity, if the service is not in the list, client is not going to connect. CheckScanEvent function should look as shown next: static bool_t CheckScanEvent(gapScannedDevice_t* pData) { uint8_t index = 0; uint8_t name[10]; uint8_t nameLength; bool_t foundMatch = FALSE; while (index < pData->dataLength) {         gapAdStructure_t adElement;                 adElement.length = pData->data[index];         adElement.adType = (gapAdType_t)pData->data[index + 1];         adElement.aData = &pData->data[index + 2];          /* Search for Humidity Custom Service */         if ((adElement.adType == gAdIncomplete128bitServiceList_c) ||           (adElement.adType == gAdComplete128bitServiceList_c))         {             foundMatch = MatchDataInAdvElementList(&adElement, &uuid_service_humidity, 16);         }                 if ((adElement.adType == gAdShortenedLocalName_c) ||           (adElement.adType == gAdCompleteLocalName_c))         {             nameLength = MIN(adElement.length, 10);             FLib_MemCpy(name, adElement.aData, nameLength);         }                 /* Move on to the next AD elemnt type */         index += adElement.length + sizeof(uint8_t); } if (foundMatch) {         /* UI */         shell_write("\r\nFound device: \r\n");         shell_writeN((char*)name, nameLength-1);         SHELL_NEWLINE();         shell_writeHex(pData->aAddress, 6); } return foundMatch; } The humidity_interface.h file should define the client structure and the server structure. For this demo, we only need the client structure, however, both are defined for reference. The Client Structure has all the data of the Humidity Service, in this case is a Service, characteristic, descriptor and CCCD handle and the format of the value. /*! Humidity Client - Configuration */ typedef struct humcConfig_tag { uint16_t    hService; uint16_t    hHumidity; uint16_t    hHumCccd; uint16_t    hHumDesc; gattDbCharPresFormat_t  humFormat; } humcConfig_t; The next configuration structure is for the Server; in this case we don’t need it. /*! Humidity Service - Configuration */ typedef struct humsConfig_tag { uint16_t    serviceHandle; int16_t     initialHumidity;        } humsConfig_t;     Now that the Client Structure is declared, go to the app.c and modify some functions. There are functions that help to store all the data of the humidity service. In our case they are 3 functions for the service, characteristic and descriptor. You have to be sure that the service that you create and the characteristics of humidity are in the functions. The Handle of each data is stored in the structure of the client. The three functions that need to be modify are the next: BleApp_StoreServiceHandles() stores handles for the specified service and characteristic. static void BleApp_StoreServiceHandles (     gattService_t   *pService ) {     uint8_t i;           if ((pService->uuidType == gBleUuidType128_c) &&         FLib_MemCmp(pService->uuid.uuid128, uuid_service_humidity, 16))     {         /* Found Humidity Service */         mPeerInformation.customInfo.humClientConfig.hService = pService->startHandle;                 for (i = 0; i < pService->cNumCharacteristics; i++)         {             if ((pService->aCharacteristics[i].value.uuidType == gBleUuidType16_c) &&                 (pService->aCharacteristics[i].value.uuid.uuid16 == gBleSig_Humidity_d))             {                 /* Found Humidity Char */                 mPeerInformation.customInfo.humClientConfig.hHumidity = pService->aCharacteristics[i].value.handle;             }         }     } } BleApp_StoreCharHandles() handles the descriptors. static void BleApp_StoreCharHandles (     gattCharacteristic_t   *pChar ) {     uint8_t i;         if ((pChar->value.uuidType == gBleUuidType16_c) &&         (pChar->value.uuid.uuid16 == gBleSig_Humidity_d))     {            for (i = 0; i < pChar->cNumDescriptors; i++)         {             if (pChar->aDescriptors[i].uuidType == gBleUuidType16_c)             {                 switch (pChar->aDescriptors[i].uuid.uuid16)                 {                     case gBleSig_CharPresFormatDescriptor_d:                     {                         mPeerInformation.customInfo.humClientConfig.hHumDesc = pChar->aDescriptors[i].handle;                         break;                     }                     case gBleSig_CCCD_d:                     {                         mPeerInformation.customInfo.humClientConfig.hHumCccd = pChar->aDescriptors[i].handle;                         break;                     }                     default:                         break;                 }             }         }     } } BleApp_StoreDescValues() stores the format of the value. static void BleApp_StoreDescValues (     gattAttribute_t     *pDesc ) {     if (pDesc->handle == mPeerInformation.customInfo.humClientConfig.hHumDesc)     {         /* Store Humidity format*/         FLib_MemCpy(&mPeerInformation.customInfo.humClientConfig.humFormat,                     pDesc->paValue,                     pDesc->valueLength);     }   }      After we store all the data of the Humidity Service, we need to check the notification callback. Every time the Client receives a notification with the BleApp_GattNotificationCallback(),  call the BleApp_PrintHumidity() function and check the Format Value; in this case is 0x27AD  that mean percentage and also have to be the same on the GATT server. static void BleApp_GattNotificationCallback (     deviceId_t serverDeviceId,     uint16_t characteristicValueHandle,     uint8_t* aValue,     uint16_t valueLength ) { /*Compare if the characteristics handle Server is the same of the GATT Server*/     if (characteristicValueHandle == mPeerInformation.customInfo.humClientConfig.hHumidity)     {            BleApp_PrintTemperature(*(uint16_t*)aValue);     }  } BleApp_PrintHumidity() print the value of the Humidity, but first check if the format value is the same. static void BleApp_PrintHumidity (     uint16_t humidity ) {     shell_write("Humidity: ");     shell_writeDec(humidity);      /*If the format value is the same, print the value*/     if (mPeerInformation.customInfo.humClientConfig.humFormat.unitUuid16 == 0x27AD)     {         shell_write(" %\r\n");     }     else     {         shell_write("\r\n");     } } Step to include the file to the demo. 1. Create a clone of the Temperature_Collector with the name of Humidity_Collector 2. Unzip the Humidity_Collector.zip file attached to this post. 3. Save the humidity folder in the fallowing path: <kw40zConnSoft_install_dir>\ConnSw\bluetooth\profiles . 4. Replaces the common folder in the next path: <kw40zConnSoft_install_dir>\ConnSw\examples\bluetooth\humidity_sensor\common . Once you already save the folders in the corresponding path you must to indicate in the demo where they are and drag the file in the humidity folder to the workspace. For test the demo fallow the next steps: Compile the project and run. Press SW1 for the advertising/scanning mode, and wait to connect it. Once the connection finish, press the SW1 of the Humidity Sensor board to get and print the data. Enjoy the demo! NOTE: This demo works with the Humidity Sensor demo. This means that you need one board programmed with the Humidity Sensor application and a second board with the Humidity Collector explained in this post. Figure 3.

Introduction When a Bluetooth LE Central and Peripheral devices are in connection, data within the payload can be encrypted. Encryption of the channel can be achieved through pairing with others. Once the communication has been encrypted, the Bluetooth LE devices could distribute the keys to save it for future connections. The last is better known as bonding. When two Bluetooth LE devices are bonded, in a future connection, they do not need to exchange the keys since they already know the shared secret, thus, they can encrypt the channel directly, saving time and power. However, if an attacker is listening to the first time that both (Central and Peripheral) Bluetooth LE devices enter into a connection state, the security of the link could be vulnerated, since the attacker could decipher the original message. Fortunately, Out Of Band (OOB) provides the ability (obviously, if both devices support it) to share the keys on an unknown medium for an attacker listening Bluetooth LE (for instance, NFC, SPI, UART, CAN, etc), increasing the security of the communication. This document explains how to enable OOB pairing on Bluetooth LE connectivity examples, basing on FRDM-KW36 SDK HID Host and HID Device examples.   Dedicated Macros and APIs for OOB Pairing The connectivity software stack contains macros and APIs that developers should implement to interact with the host stack and handle the events necessary for OOB. The following sections explain the main macros, variables, and APIs that manage OOB in our software.   Definitions and Variables gAppUsePairing_d It is used to enable or disable pairing to encrypt the link. Values Result 0 Pairing Disabled 1 Pairing Enabled   gAppUseBonding_d It is used to enable or disable bonding to request and save the keys for future connections. Values Result 0 Bonding Disabled 1 Bonding Enabled   gBleLeScOobHasMitmProtection_c This flag must be set if the application requires Man In the Middle protection, in other words, if the link must be authenticated. You can determine whether your software needs to set or clear this flag from the GAP Security Mode and Level. Red instances of the following table indicate that gBleLeScOobHasMitmProtection_c must be set to 1.   gPairingParameters This struct contains the pairing request or the pairing response (depending on the device's GAP role) payload. To enable and configure OOB pairing, oobAvailable field of the struct must be set to 1.   APIs bleResult_t Gap_ProvideOob (deviceId_t deviceId, uint8_t* aOob) This API must be implemented in response of gConnEvtOobRequest_c event in BleConnManager_GapPeripheralEvent or BleConnManager_GapCentralEvent functions (depending of the GAP role). This event only will be triggered if OOB is enabled and LE Legacy pairing is used. The gConnEvtOobRequest_c event occurs when the stack request the OOB data received from the peer device just after the gConnEvtPairingRequest_c or gConnEvtPairingResponse_c (depending of the GAP role). This API is valid only for LE Legacy pairing. Name of the Parameter Input/Output Description deviceId Input ID of the peer device aOob Input Pointer to OOB data previously received from the peer.   bleResult_t Gap_LeScGetLocalOobData (void) This API must be implemented either in response of gConnEvtPairingRequest_c or gConnEvtPairingResponse_c events  in BleConnManager_GapPeripheralEvent or BleConnManager_GapCentralEvent functions (depending of the GAP role) to get the local OOB data generated from the controller and in response of gLeScPublicKeyRegenerated_c event at BleConnManager_GenericEvent. Each time that Gap_LeScGetLocalOobData is executed in the application to obtain the OOB data, it triggers the gLeScLocalOobData_c generic event to inform that OOB data must be read from pGenericEvent->eventData.localOobData to send it to the peer device. This API is valid only for LE Secure Connections pairing.   bleResult_t Gap_LeScSetPeerOobData (deviceId_t deviceId, gapLeScOobData_t* pPeerOobData) This API must be implemented in response of gConnEvtLeScOobDataRequest_c event in BleConnManager_GapPeripheralEvent or BleConnManager_GapCentralEvent functions(depending of the GAP role). This event occurs when the stack requires the OOB data previously recieved from the peer. This API is valid only for LE Secure Connections pairing. Name of the Parameter Input/Output Description deviceId Input ID of the peer device aOob Input Pointer to gapLeScOobData_t struct that contains the OOB data received from the peer.   Enabling OOB on KW36 Bluetooth LE Peripheral Device The following example is based on the HID Device software included in the FRDM-KW36 SDK. It explains the minimum code needed to enable OOB. In the following sections, brown color indicates that such definition or API takes part in the stack and violet color indicates that such definition does not take part in the stack and its use is only for explanation purposes in this document.   Changes in app_preinclude.h file The app_preinclude.h header file contains definitions for the management of the application. To enable OOB pairing, you must ensure that gAppUseBonding_d and gAppUsePairing_d are set to 1. You can also set the value of the gBleLeScOobHasMitmProtection_c in this file, depending on the security mode and level needed in your application.  This example makes use of two custom definitions: gAppUseOob_d and gAppUseSecureConnections_d. Such definitions are used to explain how to enable/disable OOB and, if OOB is enabled, how to switch between LE Secure Connections pairing or LE Legacy paring.   /*!

In this example, gOobReceivedTKDataFromPeer is an array that stores the data previously received OOB from the peer device (using SPI, UART, I2C, etc), therefore, the procedure to fill this array with the data received from the peer depends entirely on your application. Notice that gOobReceivedTKDataFromPeer must contain the data received from the peer before to execute Gap_ProvideOob.   static uint8_t gOobReceivedTKDataFromPeer[16]; void BleConnManager_GapPeripheralEvent(deviceId_t peerDeviceId, gapConnectionEvent_t* pConnectionEvent) { switch (pConnectionEvent->eventType) { case gConnEvtConnected_c: { ... ... ... } break; ... ... ... #if (gAppUseOob_d && !gAppUseSecureConnections_d) case gConnEvtOobRequest_c: { /* The stack has requested the LE Legacy OOB data*/ (void)Gap_ProvideOob(peerDeviceId, &gOobReceivedTKDataFromPeer[0]); } break; #endif ... ... ... } }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍     LE Secure Connections Pairing When using Secure Connections Pairing, the application must handle two events at the BleConnManager_GapPeripheralEvent function. In gConnEvtPairingRequest_c event, you must implement Gap_LeScGetLocalOobData API to generate the local (r, Cr) values. The gConnEvtLeScOobDataRequest_c event indicates that the application is requesting the (r, Cr) values previously received OOB from the peer device (using SPI, UART, I2C, etc). Such values are contained into gOobReceivedRandomValueFromPeer and gOobReceivedConfirmValueFromPeer buffers. You must implement Gap_LeScSetPeerOobData in response to gConnEvtLeScOobDataRequest_c, This function has two parameters, the device ID of the peer and a pointer to a gapLeScOobData_t type struct. This struct is filled with the data contained in gOobReceivedRandomValueFromPeer and gOobReceivedConfirmValueFromPeer buffers.   gapLeScOobData_t gPeerOobData; static uint8_t gOobReceivedRandomValueFromPeer[gSmpLeScRandomValueSize_c]; /*!< LE SC OOB r (Random value) */ static uint8_t gOobReceivedConfirmValueFromPeer[gSmpLeScRandomConfirmValueSize_c]; /*!< LE SC OOB Cr (Random Confirm value) */ void BleConnManager_GapPeripheralEvent(deviceId_t peerDeviceId, gapConnectionEvent_t* pConnectionEvent) { switch (pConnectionEvent->eventType) { case gConnEvtConnected_c: { ... ... ... } break; case gConnEvtPairingRequest_c: { #if (defined(gAppUsePairing_d) && (gAppUsePairing_d == 1U)) gPairingParameters.centralKeys = pConnectionEvent->eventData.pairingEvent.centralKeys; (void)Gap_AcceptPairingRequest(peerDeviceId, &gPairingParameters); #if (gAppUseOob_d && gAppUseSecureConnections_d) /* The central has requested pairing, get local LE Secure Connections OOB data */ (void)Gap_LeScGetLocalOobData(); #endif #else (void)Gap_RejectPairing(peerDeviceId, gPairingNotSupported_c); #endif } break; ... ... ... #if (gAppUseOob_d && gAppUseSecureConnections_d) case gConnEvtLeScOobDataRequest_c: { /* The stack has requested the peer LE Secure Connections OOB data.

In this example, Oob_SendLocalRandomValueToPeer and Oob_SendLocalConfirmValueToPeer  are custom synchronous functions that demonstrate how you can implement a custom API that sends the local (r, Cr) read from pGenericEvent->eventData.localOobData pointer to the peer device using other protocols (SPI, UART, I2C, etc).   void BleConnManager_GenericEvent(gapGenericEvent_t* pGenericEvent) { switch (pGenericEvent->eventType) { case gInitializationComplete_c: { ... ... ... } break; ... ... ... #if (defined(gAppUsePairing_d) && (gAppUsePairing_d == 1U)) case gLeScPublicKeyRegenerated_c: { /* Key pair regenerated -> reset pairing counters */ mFailedPairings = mSuccessfulPairings = 0; /* Local LE Secure Connections OOB data must be refreshed whenever this event occurs */ #if (gAppUseOob_d && gAppUseSecureConnections_d) (void)Gap_LeScGetLocalOobData(); #endif } break; #endif ... ... ... #if (gAppUseOob_d && gAppUseSecureConnections_d) case gLeScLocalOobData_c: { /* Get the local LE Secure Connections OOB data and send to the peer */ Oob_SendLocalRandomValueToPeer((uint8_t*)pGenericEvent->eventData.localOobData.randomValue); Oob_SendLocalConfirmValueToPeer((uint8_t*)pGenericEvent->eventData.localOobData.confirmValue); } break; #endif ... ... ... } }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍     Simplified Flow Diagram of OOB Central and Peripheral Events LE Legacy Pairing The following figure shows a simplified flow diagram of the LE Legacy OOB pairing example in this document. The LE Central device is the one that contains the OOB TK data that will be shared OOB using the custom Oob_SendLocalTKValueToPeer function. It must be implemented at the gConnEvtPairingResponse_c event to ensure that both devices know the OOB TK before to execute Gap_ProvideOob since this function requests this data. If the OOB data is correct on both sides, the pairing procedure ends, and it is noticed through gConnEvtPairingComplete_c. LE Secure Connections Pairing The following figure shows a simplified flow diagram of the LE Secure Connections OOB pairing example in this document. After both devices enter in connection, the data that will be shared OOB using the custom Oob_SendLocalRandomValueToPeer and Oob_SendLocalConfirmValueToPeer  functions is yielded by Gap_LeScGetLocalOobData on both sides. The last one must be implemented at gConnEvtPairingResponse_c and gConnEvtPairingRequest_c events to ensure that both devices know the Peripheral and Central (r, Cr) OOB data before to execute Gap_LeScSetPeerOobData since this function requests this data. If the OOB data is correct on both sides, the pairing procedure ends, and it is noticed through gConnEvtPairingComplete_c. This is how OOB pairing can be implemented in your project. I hope this document will be useful to you. Please, let us know any questions or comments.

As know, FSK and OOK are the modulation types that can be configured in the radio by setting the bits 4-3 from the RegDataModul register, as shown in below picture taken from Reference Manual:                                                          A common inquire you could have is: what modulation should I use? Let's first understand how these modulations work. FSK: Frequency Shift Keying is a modulation type that uses two frequencies, for 0 and 1. In a spectrum analyzer we can see a spectrum similar to the next picture, where the frequency for 0's is separated from the central frequency with FDev, and same case for the frequency for the 1's: OOK: On Off Keying is a modulation type that represents a logic 1 with the presence of the carrier frequency and a logic 0 with the absence of it. In a spectrum analyzer we can see a spectrum similar to the next picture, where the central frequency represents a logic 1. We can not see a logic 0 in the spectrum due to it's represented as the absence of power. Then what modulation should I use? FSK is most commonly used because is more spectral efficient so has better sensitivity. In the other hand, OOK modulation is commonly used in applications where the frequency accuracy can not be guaranteed. It also helps in conserving battery power due to the power absence for the logic 0's. Regards, Luis Burgos.

Thread is a secure, wireless, simplified IPv6-based mesh networking protocol developed by industry leading technology companies, including Freescale, for connecting devices to each other, to the internet and to the cloud. Before starting a Thread Network implementation, users should be familiar with some concepts and how they are related to Thread protocol. IPv6 Addressing Devices in the Thread stack support IPv6 addressing IPv6 addresses are 128-bit identifiers (IPv4 is only 32-bit) for interfaces and sets of interfaces.  Thread supports the following types of addresses: Unicast:  An identifier for a single interface.  A packet sent to a unicast address is delivered to the interface identified by that address. Multicast: An identifier for a set of interfaces (typically belonging to different nodes).  A packet sent to a multicast address is delivered to all interfaces identified by that address. NOTES There are no broadcast addresses in IPv6, their function being superseded by multicast addresses. Each device joining the Thread Network is also assigned a 16-bit short address as specified in IEEE 802.15.4. 6LoWPAN All Thread devices use 6LoWPAN 6LoWPAN stands for “IPv6 over Low Power Wireless Personal Networks”. 6LoWPAN is a set of standards defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which enables the efficient use of IPv6 over low-power, low-rate wireless networks on simple embedded devices through an adaptation layer and the optimization of related protocols. Its main goal is to send/receive IPv6 packets over 802.15.4 links. Next figure compares IP and 6LoWPAN protocol stacks: The following concepts would explain the transport layer. ICMP Thread devices support the ICMPv6 (Internet Control Message Protocol version 6) protocol and ICMPv6 error messages, as well as the echo request and echo reply messages. The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is an error reporting and diagnostic utility and is considered a required part of any IP implementation. ICMPs are used by routers, intermediary devices, or hosts to communicate updates or error information to other routers, intermediary devices, or hosts. For instance, ICMPv6 is used by IPv6 nodes to report errors encountered in processing packets, and to perform other internet-layer functions, such as diagnostics. ICMP differs from transport protocols such as TCP and UDP in that it is not typically used to exchange data between systems, nor is it regularly employed by end-user network applications.  The ICMPv6 messages have the following general format: The type field indicates the type of the message.  Its value determines the format of the remaining data. The code field depends on the message type.  It is used to create an additional level of message granularity. The checksum field is used to detect data corruption in the ICMPv6 message and parts of the IPv6 header. ICMPv6 messages are grouped into two classes: error messages and informational messages.  Error messages are identified as such by a zero in the high-order bit of their message Type field values.  Thus,   error messages have message types from 0 to 127; informational messages have message types from 128 to 255. UDP The Thread stack supports UDP for messaging between devices. This User Datagram Protocol  (UDP)  is defined  to  make available  a datagram   mode of  packet-switched   computer communication  in  the environment  of an  interconnected  set  of  computer  networks, assuming that the Internet  Protocol (IP) is used as the underlying protocol. With UDP, applications can send data messages to other hosts on an IP network without prior communications to set up special transmission channels or data paths. UDP is suitable for purposes where error checking and correction is either not necessary or is performed in the application, avoiding the overhead of such processing at the network interface level. The UDP format is as follows: Source Port is an optional field, when meaningful, it indicates the port of the sending  process,  and may be assumed  to be the port  to which a reply should be addressed  in the absence of any other information.  If not used, a value of zero is inserted. Destination Port has a meaning within the context of a particular internet destination address. Length is the length in octets of this user datagram including this header and the data.   (This means the minimum value of the length is eight.) Checksum is the 16-bit one's complement of the one's complement sum of a pseudo header of information from the IP header, the UDP header, and the data, padded  with zero octets at the end (if  necessary)  to  make  a multiple of two octets.

The “BeyondStudio for NXP” Integrated Development Environment (IDE) provides a platform for the development of wireless network applications to be run on NXP’s JN516x family of wireless microcontrollers. For more details and installation guide.  JN-UG-3098 (BeyondStudio for NXP Installation and User Guide). This document explains the common issues that the user will face when trying to develop a new application using BeyondStudio IDE.   First of all, be sure that you are working with the latest SDK version and application note.    Import Problems After you import some application note that you want to take as reference. 2.2 Importing a Project. BeyondStudio for NXP Installation and User Guide.     1. Wrong Path A  common issue is a user uses another path for the installation of the SDK than the default one (C:\nxp\bstudio_nxp\workspace). When trying to find the Makefile ("SDK/JN-SW-4168/Stack/Common/Build/config.mk"), the IDE uses a relative path, for that reason it assumes that the file is in the correct directory. As the path was changed, the file can’t be found.   2.Project Directory After you select the Application Note (AN) you want to import remember that there will be an option for the JN517x as most of the projects are compatible between them (Zigbee 3.0, ZigBee Link Light). Nonetheless, BeyondStudio is not compatible with the JN517x.  While importing the project you only must select the JN516x project and none of the options must not be selected.     Linking Errors Open a source file (.c) or a header file (.h),  you will notice that the IDE shows a lot of errors even though the project has not been compiled yet. The errors you are seeing is Eclipse not being able to resolve various variables and functions within the SDK. You might see some errors like: Symbol “xxx” could not be resolved for example. After starting the compilation process, look at the console log and notice that the bin file is being generated correctly. Do not try to add another file in the path and Symbols trying to avoid all those errors; the IDE will look for the includes that the project needs. If you used the default path location, it will not have any problem with the compilation. The OS_Gen, ZPS_Gen, and PDUM_Gen, for example, are all files automatically generated based on the configuration files, performing a clean will remove those files but will be created again after a new compilation. File app.zpscfg Problems Encountered The next error will appear if the Zigbee Plug-in is not installed. Follow the installation procedure for the plug-ins 1.2.3 Installing the ZigBee Plug-ins BeyondStudio for NXP Installation and User Guide. Look at the installation folder that is included in the SDK. C:\NXP\bstudio_nxp\sdk\JN-SW-41xx\Tools\Eclipse_plugins\com.nxp.sdk.update_site For a better reference the ZPS Configuration Editor provides a convenient way to set ZigBee network parameters ZigBee PRO Stack User Guide I hope it helps.
