ZUTH test client app

[thanos]

Hi to all,

I am trying to do a ZUTH (Zigbee unified test harness) test run, using the Silabs devices as golden devices (as per CSA recommendation) and nRF 52840 dongles as DUTs.

However, I haven't been able to program my 52840 dongles with the required FW to cooperate with ZUTH.

I tried the 'light control' examples binaries in the nRF SDK but the device was not compatible with ZUTH it appears.

I understand that there is a Zigbee Test Client App but I need help to access it.

Thanks in advance.

BR,

Hi Thanos,

It seems like you are using the nRF5 SDK. This SDK is deprecated and not recommended for development.

You should use the nRF Connect SDK instead. This SDK provides Zigbee as an add-on. For more information, see the Zigbee R23 add-on for the nRF Connect SDK.

Best regards,
Marte

Hi Marte,

kind reminder on this, thanks in advance.

Hi Thanos,

We do not have a dedicated sample for ZUTH test harness. What sample to use depends on what you want to test. Can you explain more about what you want to achieve with the test? Is it for certification purposes or just to test the ZUTH test harness? Do you have any specific features you want to test?

Best regards,
Marte

Hi Marte,

many thanks for the reply.

You are right, at the moment I want to make sure my ZUTH setup is working properly so I don't have any specific features I after testing.

I do have the Silicon Labs devices programmed as the golden reference (as per CSA instructions, it seems that, unlike Thread, Zigbee test harness only supports Silabs for reference devices) and I would like to hook some DUTs on and try my first tests. That's where I need your help, how to program a Nordic device to work as a ZUTH DUT.

CSA support suggested that I can use 'any vendor that provides ZUTH stack' in order to prepare a DUT. However, I haven't heard about ZUTH stack before, is this something that Nordic provides?

Many thanks again.

Hi Thanos,

I have not heard of a specific ZUTH stack before.

Any of our samples should be possible to use with ZUTH, but I recommend either the light bulb or light switch sample. If you are new to the nRF Connect SDK, I recommend checking out our nRF Connect SDK Fundamentals course on DevAcademy, specifically Lesson 1 Exercise 2, which shows how to build an application.

Since the samples do not support the nRF52840 dongle, you might have to modify them.

Best regards,
Marte

Hi there Marte,

thanks again for the reply.

It is highly possible that the CSA support meant 'zboss stack' and not 'zuth stack'.

I have also nRF52840 DKs that, I think, work directly with the sample apps, is this correct?

Ok, if you say that, e.g. the light bulb example would work with ZUTH, I just need to find out how, because I don't  'see' it in the device list.

Many thanks.

Our Zigbee add-on is based on the ZBOSS stack, so this should not be a problem if that is the case.

Yes, the nRF52840 DK is supported out of the box. You can see which development kits are supported under the requirements section in the documentation for each sample:

The samples might also work with other boards, but the boards listed are the ones we test.

What do you mean by not seeing it in the device list? Is this in the ZUTH client or something else?
