Zigbee Sleepy End Device Immediately Sleeps after Joining Network

[Patrick]

Hello,

In my current zigbee project I have a sensor end device which should sleep when possible. I am handling the ZB_COMMON_SIGNAL_CAN_SLEEP event and have added zb_set_rx_on_when_idle(ZB_FALSE) to main. I am not sure if it makes any difference but this project uses TWIM for sensor communication and the app_timer.

Once the device boots (not previously joined to a network), the device polls until a connection is made with the coordinator. Immediately upon joining the network, the device sleeps indefinitely and commissioning is never completed. During this apparent sleep state debugging appears to continue normally. If zb_set_rx_on_when_idle() is set to ZB_TRUE, the device is able to be commissioned normally.

Included below are the following: zboss_zignal_handler, main, console output showing only LOG INFO output, and finally console output with ZIGBEE_TRACE_LEVEL set to 4.

With a few exceptions, my sdk_config matches what is included with the zigbee light switch example.

Any advice on how to further troubleshoot is greatly appreciated.

[Jørgen Holmefjord]

Hi,

Did you test the original light_control example in the SDK to see if the Sleepy End Device functionality is working as expected there? You can put the light_switch example in sleepy device mode by holding button 3 (BSP_BUTTON_2) when resetting/powering the board.

Best regards,
Jørgen

Hi Jorgen,

I had not taken the time to test out the light_switch example but have now taken the time to. The good news is that the light_switch example works as expected (using SES). One of the first things I noticed between my firmware and the light_switch example is how when in "sleepy mode", the "CAN_SLEEP..." event is fired in between each "Failed to join network" event, unlike my firmware.

After a lot more digging I thinking that the issue lies somewhere in my toolchain and the compiled output. I have been using C++ and VisualGDB (Visual Studio addin, GCC 7.2.0) in this project and have made sure any of the zboss code has been guarded however I am still not seeing the correct behavior. Generally using VisualGDB and C++ has not been an issue but its obviously producing something that isn't quite right.

To test further I created a C project in VisualGDB and copied the light_switch example code in. Compiling this project also results in the odd behavior I was experiencing previously.

Seeing as I am using an unsupported IDE I do not necessarily expect support on that front but is there anything else I can look at? Under the hood VisualGDB is using GCC so I would expect that this issue could be a configuration problem.

Thank you.

I have done quite a bit more digging on this problem this weekend and think I am getting close to a solution. I modified the makefile included with the light switch example and was able to produce a properly functioning firmware using my project source files from VisualGDB. Unfortunately I haven’t gotten VIsualGDB itself to produce a properly functioning firmware but feel comfortable saying that this is a tooling problem. As such, I have a case open with their support to hopefully find a solution. 

[Jørgen Holmefjord]

Great, let me know if you need any more follow-up from our side.

[Patrick]

It turns out that I had apparently not copied everything needed from the Thread and Zigbee SDK into the VisualGDB folder structure. I originally only copied the folders that were obviously added by the Thread and Zigbee SDK but clearly missed some files that had been changed from the standard SDK. Everything is now functioning as expected.
