Problem joining XBee (Zigbee)

[roaspey]

I am trying to connect XBee 3.0 Zigbee to a Nordic USB dongle (PAC10059) which has the nRF52840 chipset.

I have been watching the traffic on channel 16 with a CC2531 sniffer which shows association attempts which

are initially successful, and then the network seems to keep reforming.

The ZC (nRF52840) is initialised as follows:

bdb factory_reset // power dongle off then on

bdb role zc

bdb channel 16

log enable info app // to show connection log

bdb policy enable

bdb start

Due to diagnosing the connection problem I then try to add the install code for the XBee 3.0 Zigbee router:

> bdb ic add 6E4D5F6989E752C9684A6D7C8BD7A4F9 0013A20041c78369
Error: Failed to add IC
> bdb ic add 6E4D5F6989E752C9684A6D7C8BD7A4F9 0013A20041C78369
Error: Failed to add IC

I have taken the install code from the XBee I? parameter, and the second parameter is the MAC address

of the XBee (EUI64 code?)

Anyone got any ideas why adding the install code to the ZC (PCA10059) isn't working?

Hi

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking exactly. Can you specify what "install code" you are trying to add to the nRF52840 Dongle, and how exactly are you adding it? Could you also upload a sniffer trace here so we can take a look at it to see if there is some strange behavior going on?

Best regards,

Simon

I am asking why it fails to add the install code for an XBee which I am connecting to an nRF52840 zigbee coordinator. The error codes are in the above. E.g. Error: Failed to add IC.

The XBee connects ok now but still I don't see why adding the install code for XBee failed on the ZC
