    Compilation instructions and hex files for Z-Stack firmwares

  • Is it possible to use the Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus-P as a ZigBee sniffer? I downloaded Packet-Sniffer-2 and flashed it with the cc26x2r1lp/sniffer_fw.hex (at first using cc2538-bsl.py, then later using TI's Flash Programmer 2 and the cJTAG pins), but the Sniffer Agent doesn't see it. TI's supported hardware list includes the CC2652R, but not CC2652P, but I was hoping they'd be similar enough that the same firmware would work. But on the other hand, the Z-Stack firmware for the two chips are different.

  • cc2538-bsl

    Python cross-platform script to upload firmware via the serial boot loader onto the CC13xx, CC2538 and CC26xx SoC.

  • Flash the stick with C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\SmartRF Tools\SmartRF Packet Sniffer 2\sniffer_fw\bin\cc1352p1lp\sniffer_fw.hex . As far as I know, you can flash it using the same methods you'd normally use to flash Z-Stack firmware. cc2538-bsl.py works, but if you ask it to verify, it'll show "ERROR: Timeout waiting for ACK/NACK after 'Get CRC32 (0x27)'". And note that once you flash the sniffer FW, you won't be able to re-flash it over USB; you'll need to use the cJTAG pins on the board (the Reset, TMS, TCK, etc… pins shown in this pic), which requires extra hardware, such as the CC-DEVPACK-DEBUG. Or at least I couldn't figure out how to do it; if it's possible, please let me know how.
