Using ZTC Black Box Application, ZTC-Ping.Request failed (error reports gZtcUnknownOpcode_c)

[freshmango90]

I only have one Zigbee device which is connected to Freescale Test Tool 12 and I'm able to send commands and receive them via Command Console in the Test Tool.

However, when I want to send "ZTC-Ping.Request" as below:

TX: ZTC-Ping.Request 02 A3 38 02 01 79 E1

Sync       [1 byte]    = 02

OpGroup    [1 byte]    = A3

OpCode     [1 byte]    = 38

Length     [1 byte]    = 02

EchoLength [1 byte]    = 01

EchoData   [1 byte]    = [79]

CRC        [1 byte]    = E1

Here's my response:

RX: ZTC-Error.event 02 A4 FE 01 FD A6

Sync    [1 byte]    = 02

OpGroup [1 byte]    = A4

OpCode  [1 byte]    = FE

Length  [1 byte]    = 01

Status  [1 byte]    = FD (gZtcUnknownOpcode_c)

CRC     [1 byte]    = A6

Any ideas why this isn't working?

Most likely the feature is not enabled. Please make sure that gUseHwValidation_c from ZtcPrivate.h is set to TRUE.

Hi Alexandru, Being a beginner, how would I know that I have to set that to true, and which file it's in? I've been learning about Zigbee and how it works, but it does not go into detail with codes and whatnot, so having said that, is there documents or tutorials that I may have missed? thanks in advance.

Edit: forgot to confirm that your answer is correct. I got the desired reply.

I'm glad it works. Now, the ZTC-Ping is a command used to test the ZTC communication between the Host and the BlackBox (in your case the serial communication between the PC TestTool 12 and the board) and is not ZigBee related. Being a validation feature is not enabled by default. You can find more documentation on the ZTC protocol in the BeeStack BlackBox ZigBee Test Client Reference Manual (BSBBZTCRM).
