ZBOSS NCP version

[DaKa]

Hi,

I'm using the ZBOSS NCP sample from NCS v2.2.0 and flashed the nRF52840 DK after building it.

I am able to communicate with the NCP from the host, but I don't get how versioning is working.

I get this from the NCP:
- FW version: 0.0.0.1
- Stack version: 3.11.2.0
- Protocol version: 0.0.1.21
(Raw data I get from the version command -> "01:00:00:00:00:02:0B:03:15:01:00:00" in little endian with 4 bytes for each version types)

My question is, do I need to set the firmware version? Why is it not 2.2.0.0 (like the NCS version I was using when building)?

I think I understand the stack and protocol version. Stack version is simply the ZBOSS version used by NCP and protocol version is the document version used for the ZBOSS NCP protocol description.

Best regards,
Damien

Hello again,

My question is, do I need to set the firmware version? Why is it not 2.2.0.0 (like the NCS version I was using when building)?

Yes, I believe you should. That way, the versioning is in order if you were to update the fw using eg. MCUBoot. 

Could you expand a bit on how you are getting the version though? What version command are you using?

Hello,

Where do I set the firmware version?

The get version command is from the ZBOSS NCP Protocol description document.

I wrote my own NCP client based on that document.

Ah I see. Have you had a look at NCP_FW_VERSION? I am not sure, but that might be what you're looking for.

Either way, its good to set the fw version.

Yes that was it. I was able to overwrite

zb_osif_get_fw_version

in order to set the firmware version.

Thank you for your help.
