Zigbee CLI default configuration

[DaKa]

Hello,

I am developing a Zigbee coordinator with the nRF52840 DK and with the nRF52_SDK_for_Thread_and_Zigbee_v_4.1.0. I flashed the CLI example and everything works fine with it. I created a workspace folder where I copied the CLI example as a base for the development of my custom CLI.

I want to change the default configuration of the CLI but I struggle to understand how to do it.

1) How can I configure the application to enable logging for app and zigbee.report modules by default. So that the CLI client do not need to send `log enable info <module>`.
I thought that I could do it from the sdk_config.h file in the pca10056/blank/config folder but it doesn't work. The NRF_LOG_ENABLED is set to 1 by default.

2) How to set role to zc by default?

Best Regards,
Damien

Hi Marte,

Thanks for your reply.
About the logging, I checked and played around with the NRF_LOG_XXX macros, but I still need to enable modules from the client side in order to see the logs in the terminal. That is:
- The CLI agent example is running on the nRF52840 DK
- I connect to the serial port using minicom as a CLI client (on my computer)
- I can use the CLI commands in minicom as expected (bdb role, bdb start, zdo, etc...)
- BUT, In order to see the logs in minicom, I need to use the command "> log enable info app" to see logs using NRF_LOG_INFO(...), and the command "> log enable info zigbee.report"  to see logs using the NRF_LOG_INST_INFO(...) function.

So, what I want is to be able to configure default enable/disable when the application is started, so that I don't need to use the "log enable ..." command on the client side.

On the client side, before I enable any module log, I get this output:

Hi Damien,

Someone did something similar a few years back. Could you try implementing it as described in this comment by Andreas? The function zb_zcl_put_default_reporting_info() is no longer a part of the library, but you should be able to use zb_zcl_put_reporting_info() instead. 

Please let me know if this works for you or not.

Best regards,

Marte

Hi,

I don't think this is what I am looking for since it is a function from ZBOSS, and I am looking for the general configuration in the SDK, that enables/disables a module to log on client side of the CLI (through UART). The link you sent is about zigbee reports and is not about the configuration I am looking for.

I lost quite a lot of time so far on this, but couldn't find a solution. I will drop this configuration and simply send the log enable command from the client side instead.

Thanks for your help so far.

BR
Damien

Hi Damien,

I'm sorry, I misunderstood.

I asked a colleague about this, in case you decide to try some more. According to them you'll have to define a nRF log submodule. You can check out these macros for logging on instance level, and then use NRF_LOG_INST_INFO for logging.

Best regards,

Marte
