The 6LoWPAN development kit is designed to give a simple introduction to 6LoWPAN wireless networks in the 868/915MHz bands. The hardware consists of an OMAP-L138 based Edge Router equipped with a CC1180EM, 2 CC430F5137 based nodes and 2 CC1180DB nodes. The CC1180DB boards consist of a network processor (CC1180) pre-programmed with a 6LoWPAN software stack, and a MSP430F5438A microcontroller that controls the 6LoWPAN device. The CC430 based nodes consists of a CC430F5137 SoC (RF+MCU) that runs both the 6LoWPAN software stack and the controlling application. The Edge Router board is running Linux and is pre-programmed with Sensinode Nanorouter 2.0 software, which acts as a bridge between IPv6 and 6LoWPAN. The Edge Router is connected to a PC via Ethernet. The Edge Router sets up the network and configures the 6LoWPAN network parameters. The development kit demonstrates an example of a typical sensor network with a simple Network Analyzer software running on the nodes. The nodes are automatically given a unique IPv6 address and can be pinged from a PC using standard tools. Each node in the 6LoWPAN network also has a unique preprogrammed IEEE address. The battery powered nodes can act as routers that on request report their key data to the Edge Router. STEP 2 – Install the PC software and connect the Edge Router Install the Windows IPv6 stack on a Windows XP PC. The IPv6 installation is not needed in Linux and Windows 7, since IPv6 is already installed. Open a command prompt and write ipv6 install Assign the IPv6 address 2001::22 to the PC using the command prompt: (Run in administrator mode in Windows 7) netsh interface ipv6 add address “Local Area Connection” 2001::22 Set up a default route using the command prompt: (Run in administrator mode in Windows 7) netsh interface ipv6 add route ::/0 “Local Area Connection” Note! You must change “Local Area Connection” to the actual name of the Ethernet connection you want to use. You can get it from Windows Network Connections. The IPv6 address 2001::22 has to be unique on your network. Plug in the power cable to the Edge Router and connect the Ethernet cable between the Edge Router and the PC. Make sure that the Edge Router is not powered on. Insert the SD card into the slot on the Edge Router. Connect the CC1180EM to the adapter card and connect an antenna to the CC1180EM. Connect the adapter card to the J30 connector on the Edge Router. The adapter card can be fastened to the Edge Router by the provided M2 screws. Make sure that the switch S7-2 is in position ON, and all other in position OFF. Power on the Edge Router using the S4 switch. It will take approximately 40 seconds to boot the Edge Router. When the green LED on the Adapter Card goes ON it indicates that the Edge Router is up and running. You can connect the provided RS-232 NULL modem cable between the Edge Router and PC to get debug information, use e.g. Windows HyperTerminal with settings; Baud Rate 115200, 8 Data Bits, No Parity, One Stop Bit and No Flow Control.
SWRU276a October 2012 2/3 Jumper J1 STEP 3 – Connecting the nodes to the 6LoWPAN network Insert batteries in one or more of the CC1180DB boards and make sure the jumper is connected between P1-1 and P1-2 to power on the node. It will automatically connect to existing network. LEDs D1 and D2 are controlled from the CC1180 network processor and gives status on node connection. When the CC1180DB node is connected to the network the green LED (D2) will be on, if not connected it will be off. The red LED (D1) blink when node is communicating. LEDs D3 and D4 are controlled from the host MCU and displays the RSSI value. Both LEDs off: RSSI above -40dBm, green LED on red LED off: RSSI between -40 and -65dBm, both LEDs on: RSSI between -65 and -90dBm, green LED off red LED on: RSSI below -90dBm. The red LED toggles with 1 sec interval if 3 concurrent reply messages were missed or Analyzer is not activated on PC. Insert batteries in one or more of the CC430F5137 battery packs and connect an antenna. Connect the battery pack cable to power on the node. LEDs D1 and D2 are controlled from the 6LoWPAN stack in CC430 and gives status on node connection. When the CC430 node is connected to the network the green LED (D1) will be on. The red LED (D2) blink when node is communicating. When nodes are powered on they connect automatically to the 6LoWPAN network, either directly to the Edge Router or via other nodes (Routers) in the network. Upon request from the Edge Router they send messages including network information to the Edge Router. Warning! To minimize risk of personal injury or property damage, never use rechargeable batteries to power the boards. Do not leave the EVM powered when unattended. Note that there should only be one active power source at any one time. STEP 4 – Installing and Using NodeView Network Analyzer software Node View can be used to interact with the nodes in the network. It has several powerful features such as Network Analyzer, message logs, running demo applications and to send custom data to nodes. Download and install the latest Java runtime engine from www.java.com to your Windows PC. Minimum version of Java to run NodeView is 1.6.0 Extract the provided NodeView package to C:\NodeView NodeView package can be found via link on www.ti.com Start NodeView by double-clicking the extracted NodeViewProDyn.jar file in C:\NodeView Connect to your Edge Router by selecting File -> Add NanoRouter IPv6 in the RouterView tab. Enter the IPv6 address of the Edge Router which is 2001::11 The connected Edge Router is then shown in the Routers field. The connected nodes are shown in the Nodes field. You can now use standard network tools to communicate with the nodes. To ping a node right-click a node and copy the IPv6 address of the node. Open a command prompt on your Windows XP PC and write: ping6 –n 10 [IPv6 address] Replace [IPv6 address] with the copied IPv6 address of the node you want to ping. This example will ping the node 10 times. Use the ping command on Linux and Windows 7. You can also view the network topology in the NodeView tab Network analyzer.
