XM122 and openthread codintegration

RE: XM122 and openthread codintegration

Thankyou very much for the detailed insight.

I have resolved the errors and my OpenThread application is now working with XM122 and XM122's API calls seems to be producing expected outcomes.

There were some errors mainly in my sdk_config.h and flash_placements.xml file. After resolving the errors and adding only required code sections (from XM122's example into OpenThread's example), I was able to compile the code and execute an initial run on the hardware.

Thanks again.

P.S: Thanks waqarrashid33 for your help.

Hi,

multiple definition of `RTC2_IRQHandler'

Are you using RTC2 for something in your application? RTC2 is used by the 802.15.4 radio driver and the OpenThread stack. Peripherals that are used by the 802.15.4 driver or the OpenThread stack cannot be used directly in the application for something else. See Thread peripheral requirements for a list of peripherals that are used.

multiple definition of `UARTE0_UART0_IRQHandler'

The same is true for UART0.

`.spim3_tx_buffer' will not fit in region `UNPLACED_SECTIONS'

You need to add the spim3_tx_buffer section in your flash_placement.xml. See the response from Vidar here for an example: RE: `.nrf_queue' will not fit in region `UNPLACED_SECTIONS' on NRF52810 , and this guide from SEGGER: Linking and section placement.

You also have several 'undefined reference' errors. For these you need to make sure you have enabled the related configurations in sdk_config.h by setting them to 1, and that you have added the source files and include directories to your SEGGER project.

Best regards,
Marte

I have been trying to compile the application by adding XM122's main.c file in OpenThread's subcriber example's main.c .. Actually what I did is that I commented-out whole code of Subscriber's example and pasted XM122's code.

After solving multiple errors, below are the errors which I am getting now and I am not sure why I am getting such errors.

Ok .. I get it .. Let me try this approach .. I will update you ..

RE: XM122 and openthread codintegration

Marte Myrvold — Tue, 25 Jul 2023 07:33:22 GMT

Hi,

You should use the nRF5 SDK for Thread and Zigbee as your starting point and add XM122 functionality to the OpenThread example, not the other way around.

Best regards,
Marte

RE: XM122 and openthread codintegration

obaidashraf — Mon, 24 Jul 2023 18:12:24 GMT

That's how I started with. I started with SDK 15.3 and add XM122 example and compiled it .. It compiled correctly. I then added OpenThread libraries and desired folders in the SDK and compiled OpenThread subscriber application in it as a separate example and it also worked.

Now I started adding OpenThread functionality in the XM122 example and I am getting errors. What I did is that I commented-out whole XM122's main.c and copied OpenThread's subscriber's main.c in it. It started showing a number of errors.

Is it the correct way? and is it how you and waqarrashid33 are suggesting?

RE: XM122 and openthread codintegration

Marte Myrvold — Mon, 24 Jul 2023 11:16:52 GMT

Hi,

As waqarrashid33 says, you should start with the OpenThread subscriber example and add the XM122 based application to that. The nRF5 SDK for Thread and Zigbee v4.2.0 has software components from nRF5 SDK v16.0.0. Therefore, if you are adding an application from nRF5 SDK to one in the Thread and Zigbee SDK, you might not need to add any additional libraries or files from the SDK.

Please be aware that for new development we recommend using nRF Connect SDK instead of nRF5 SDK. See nRF Connect SDK and nRF5 SDK statement and Debunking misconceptions: A technical analysis of nRF5 SDK and nRF Connect SDK for more information and comparisons.

Best regards,
Marte

RE: XM122 and openthread codintegration

waqarrashid33 — Sat, 22 Jul 2023 18:07:27 GMT

I would suggest to first run the subscriber example application on the XM122 and then expand it with the acconeer sdk.
