Example how to connect to mesh network

This application establishes connection to mbed 6LoWPAN gateway. After successful connection tahe application disconnects from the network.

Pre-requisites

To build and run this example the requirements below are necessary:

  • A computer with the following software installed

    • CMake
    • yotta
    • python
    • arm gcc toolchain
    • a serial terminal emulator (e.g. screen, pyserial, cu)
    • optionally, for debugging, pyOCD and pyUSB

  • A frdm-k64f development board

  • A mbed 6LoWPAN shield

  • A mbed 6LoWPAN Gateway

  • A micro-USB cable

  • A micro-USB charger for mbed 6LoWPAN Gateway

Getting Started

  1. Connect the frdm-k64f and 6LoWPAN RF shield together

  2. Flash mbed 6LoWPAN gateway.

  3. Open a terminal in the root mbed-mesh-api directory

  4. Check that there are no missing dependencies

    $ yt ls

  5. Build the examples. This will take a long time if it is the first time that the examples have been built.

    $ yt target frdm-k64f-gcc
$ yt build

  6. Start the mbed 6LoWPAN Gateway by connecting USB charger

  7. Copy build/frdm-k64f-gcc/test/mbed-mesh-api.bin to your mbed board and wait until the LED next to the USB port stops blinking.

  8. Start the serial terminal emulator and connect to the virtual serial port presented by frdm-k64f. For settings, use 9600 baud, 8N1, no flow control.

  9. Press the reset button on the board.

  10. The output in the serial terminal emulator window should indicate a log that network is established.

Using a debugger

Optionally, connect using a debugger to set breakpoints and follow program flow. Proceed normally up to and including step 7, then:

  1. Open a new terminal window, then start the pyOCD GDB server.

    $ python pyOCD/test/gdb_server.py

    The output should look like this:

    Welcome to the PyOCD GDB Server Beta Version
INFO:root:new board id detected: 02400201B1130E4E4CXXXXXX
id => usbinfo | boardname
0 => MB MBED CM (0xd28, 0x204) [k64f]
INFO:root:DAP SWD MODE initialised
INFO:root:IDCODE: 0x2BA01477
INFO:root:K64F not in secure state
INFO:root:6 hardware breakpoints, 4 literal comparators
INFO:root:4 hardware watchpoints
INFO:root:CPU core is Cortex-M4
INFO:root:FPU present
INFO:root:GDB server started at port:3333

  2. Open a new terminal window, go to the root directory of your copy of mbed-6lowpan-adapter, then start GDB and connect to the GDB server.

    $ arm-none-eabi-gdb -ex "target remote localhost:3333" -ex load ./build/frdm-k64f-gcc/test/mbed-mesh-api-test-6lowpan_nd

  3. In a third terminal window, start the serial terminal emulator and connect to the virtual serial port presented by frdm-k64f.

  4. Once the program has loaded, start it.

    (gdb) mon reset halt
(gdb) c
