A lot of thanks for your response Leo.
And yes, I am using the one of the AP_as_Data_Hub example provided by TI.
About the join question, I have understood how it works, but I still have problems with it in the ED scenario.
After a lot of reading mrfi files and macros, I start to understand what functions are used during the SMPL_Init(0). In "nwk_api.c", SMPL_Init function, after initializing and waking up, the nwk_join() function is called.
This function is defined in "nwk_join.c". The brief of this function is: "Join functionality for non-AP devices. Send the Join token and wait for the reply." If I have understood correctly, this function, firstly, creates the payload, that is to say, set the length, address, port ( since it is a join request is 3) and message (the join token if i am not wrong) and then "SMPL_Ioctl(IOCTL_OBJ_RAW_IO, IOCTL_ACT_WRITE, &ioctl_info.send);" sends the enclosed payload to the specified port/address. And then, it waits for a reply.
After reply waiting, there is an if: "if (SMPL_SUCCESS == SMPL_Ioctl(IOCTL_OBJ_RAW_IO, IOCTL_ACT_READ, &ioctl_info.recv))". Inside of it, if the reply (in the last frame received) is correct, sets the link token for the linking process and returns the SMPL_SUCCESS for the SMPL_Init. And here it is my problem. My "SMPL_Init(0)" on the ED never returns SMPL_SUCCESS, since the "SMPL_SUCCESS == SMPL_Ioctl(IOCTL_OBJ_RAW_IO, IOCTL_ACT_READ, &ioctl_info.recv" condition never is true.
If I set a breakpoint in this line, in the debug window, the "mrfiIncomingPacket" variable has the correct format, the AP address, the ED address, port 3, REQ reply 0x81 and the link token, but the values in ioctl_info.recv.addr and ioctl_info.send.addr does not match with the correct ones ( these values have to be the device address, haven't they? or I am wrong)
Could the value of reply delay create problems for a correct reading of frames? The Anaren module uses another crystal (27 MHz instead of 26 MHz).
Please I hope your answer, and thanks in advance. This is the code I am using.
