nRF5340 DK implements 802.15.4 raw API

Hi,

You can run nRF IEEE 802.15.4: Serialization RPMsg on the network core and use IPC service to communicate between the cores. I recommend using the IPC service sample as a starting point and modify what is sent from the application core to the network core.
Building the sample for the application core will automatically add the nRF IEEE 802.15.4: Serialization RPMsg sample as a child image for the network core.

Please also see the IPC service API.

Due to holidays we will have reduced staffing next week, and an increase in response time is expected.

Best regards,
Marte

My goal is to receive 802.15.4 packet on application core and transmit response packet for private protocol not zigbee. and I don't care a kind of communication for application core and network core. (If there is no significant difference in performance)

Can you clarify what it is you want to achieve?
If you want to use Zigbee you can just build the Zigbee samples in our SDK (under nrf/samples/zigbee) for the nRF5340 application core and the network core image will automatically be added as a child image.

Best regards,
Marte

I just want to reach my goal. I don't want to do this manually.

I copied the project of "802.15.4 RPMsg serialization". It is the project of network core. and I add application core project to the workspace. The application project is "rpmsg_service".

But, This workspace failed to build. This is log.

I have no idea why "Insert of code" for uploading log doesn't work properly. I attach my google drive link.

I have asked the developers about this.

Is there any reason why you are doing this manually? In the Zigbee samples this is already handled automatically by the nRF IEEE 802.15.4: Serialization RPMsg sample running on the network core.

I would expect this to be slower, but it should not be enough to be noticeable.

[quote user="_maibi"]4. What is 802154 serialization? Is it using ipc service?[/quote]

The 802.15.4 serialization uses RPMsg, which is part of OpenAMP, for data transport between the two cores. IPC signaling is used to indicate that there is new data to transport. You can read more about this in Inter-core communication.

Marte

I got it.

But, I'm a little confused.

1. Can the application core access radio fucntion directly?

Even if the registers of the network core cannot be accessed directly, is there a driver type that can be used in the application core in another form, that is, in the form of a function?

2. I starts with ipc_service project. I occured fail to build with these configs.

How can I fix?

3. I am now trying to use the ipc service to receive zigbee data from the network core, process the data in the application core, and then send a response through the ipc service.
I expect this to be slower than the existing nrf52840, is that correct?
Will this structure produce a response speed that can be used at the product level?

4. What is 802154 serialization? Is it using ipc service?

Hi,

[quote user="_maibi"]But, I can build another project of "remote_shell".[/quote][quote user="_maibi"]and I don't know what f/w should be flashed on network core.[/quote]

You should build the Radio test sample.
From step 2 in the Testing section of the nRF5340: Remote IPC shell sample documentation:

2. Program the Radio test (short-range) sample to the network core.

[quote user="_maibi"]It is not true. When I create the project of "802154_phy_test", It create application and network core project.[/quote]

What I meant by it only being supported on the network core is that the sample only supports building for the network core, i.e. using nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpunet as build target. When building the sample for the network core on the nRF5340 DK, the nRF5340: Empty firmware for application core sample will automatically be built as a child image of the 802.15.4 PHY test tool sample. So yes, you will get both a project for the network core and the application core, where the 802.15.4 PHY test tool is the firmware image of the network core and the Empty firmware for application core is the firmware image for the application core.

Best regards,
Marte

I faild to add these config to project of "802154_phy_test".

(I can't all logs for now. I think this web site has a problem.)

shortly,

'''

'''

I added these config to kconfig of application core.

CONFIG_NRF_802154_SER_HOST=y
CONFIG_IEEE802154_NRF5=y
CONFIG_NETWORKING=y
CONFIG_IEEE802154=y
CONFIG_NET_L2_IEEE802154=y

CONFIG_PARTITION_MANAGER_ENABLED=y

But, I can build another project of "remote_shell".

It works for these configs, But, It doesn't run in application.

It stuck with this log.

and I don't know what f/w should be flashed on network core.

I tried the project of 802154_rpmsg. but, It's same.

It is not true. When I create the project of "802154_phy_test", It create application and network core project.

Hi,

[quote user=""]

1. Can application core of nRF5340 access 802.15.4 API directly? If it can, How to setup kconfig? What f/w flash on network core?

proprietary IEE 802.15.4 question I read this question, but I failed build project properly.

Can you share your build log?

[quote user=""]2. I also tested 802154_phy_test sample project. But It looks too slow to implement my project.[/quote]

The 802154_phy_test sample is only supported on the nRF5340 network core, not application core.
