Device stops receiving after sending custom Zigbee commands

[pjbuntinx]

Hi,

I am currently developing a Zigbee (router) device that has a custom cluster with custom commands. I can send 10-20 custom commands to this device successfully (and receive them) but after this, the Zboss loop seems to freeze and won't receive anything anymore. Also, read/write attribute commands to for example the basic cluster don't get received anymore. Do you have any idea what could be the reason for this? The only thing you can do hereafter is reboot the board. Sometime after you get the problem, a lot of data is printed/spammed in the console by the NRF chip. Constantly the same data it seems. Small sample of the logs:

I am using a custom-developed board with a BT840 module which has an NRF52840 onboard. Here is a simplified example of my code: https://github.com/pieterjanbuntinx/test-nrf-custom-commands . In here the buttons and LEDs don't work (other pinouts on my board, I have removed most code for this on here). 

As the coordinator, I am using a custom board with an Espressif chip but I was also able to reproduce the problem with the shell example on an NRF dev board. It can be reproduced by repeatedly executing the following command: 

zcl cmd <short_addr> 2 0xfc00 0x00f1 -i -l 0x050301000004

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Pieter-Jan

I am using NRF connect in vscode and sdk version v2.5.2

Hi Pieter-Jan,

Please do a sniffer log of the network which includes the network startup, the successful messages, and the freeze. Upload the sniffer log as a .pcap file in a reply. See this guide on how to do sniffer logs for 802.15.4. If your network key differs from the keys in the guide, you need to share your key with us to enable us to decrypt the packets.

If you don't want the network key to be shared publicly, I can make the ticket private. Just let me know!

Best regards,

Maria

Hi Maria,

Sorry for the late response. I have enabled the thread analyzer and the stack usage of all the threads seems fine to me. When the problem occurs, the thread analyzer quits printing. I have added a print statement to the main thread that prints a message every second. This also stops working. Are there any other debug logs I can enable to help me debug this?

Thanks!
Best regards,
Pieter-Jan

[Maria Gilje]

Hi Pieter-Jan,

There is some more information we can get about which module the log is from. Enable CONFIG_LOG_MODE_DEFERRED=y to get a timestamp and a module name at the beginning of each logging output. In your log right now, the minimal log mode is active (only a letter indicating which logging level is printed).

You can also see how much buffer is used by adding the below code to your main.c and calling print_usage() in your while loop in main().

extern zb_buf_ent_t gc_iobuf_pool[ZB_CONFIG_IOBUF_POOL_SIZE];
extern zb_uint8_t gc_bufs_busy_bitmap[ZB_CONFIG_BUF_POOL_BITMAP_SIZE];

static void print_usage(void)
{
    size_t used = 0;
    for (size_t i = 0; i < ZB_CONFIG_BUF_POOL_BITMAP_SIZE; i++) {
        for (size_t j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
            if (gc_bufs_busy_bitmap[i] & (1 << j)) {
                used++;
            }
        }
    }

    printk("BUFs used: %d / %d\r\n", used, ZB_CONFIG_IOBUF_POOL_SIZE);
}

Best regards,

Maria

Hi Maria,

Below you can find the console with the extra debug logs. The device seems to always freeze at 19/32 buffers used. The amount of buffers used also does not decrease after waiting some time.

[Maria Gilje]

Hi Pieter-Jan,

Thank you for the extra log.

I think that the reason for the freeze is that the TX buffers are all allocated and are not being deallocated. Even though the total amount of buffers are 32, only 16 can be used for TX at the same time, so the actual maximum is 16 + 16 for TX + RX. The sniffer log you sent previously showed that the application stopped to send ACKs when the freeze happened, and together with the 19/32 buffers used printout it is likely that the reason for the freeze is that the TX buffers are all allocated. See the Zigbee stack memory management subsystem documentation for more information on this.

Now to what you can do to resolve this:

Examine where you allocate buffers and ensure that you release them after the work is done with zb_buf_free. There is likely some place where you allocate a buffer, but do not release it after.

Best regards,

Maria

Hi Maria,

That was indeed the problem. I have readded a zb_buf_free statement that I had accidentally removed before. Thank you for your help!

Best Regards,

Pieter-Jan
