1 Introduction
This document is the user guide for the Atmel® RF4Control software stack. The
RF4Control stack is a ZigBee® RF4CE Certified Platform implementing the ZigBee
RF4CE standard [11].
The RF4Control stack is used with Atmel microcontrollers and IEEE® 802.15.4
transceivers. Some microcontrollers, such as the Atmel AT xmega56a3 [6], are
used for reference implementations. Other Atmel microcontrollers can be used
based on the application requirements. The ZigBee RF4CE specification makes
use of the 2.4GHz band, and Atmel IEEE 802.15.4 transceivers, such as the Atmel
AT86RF231, AT86RF233 [4], support the 2.4GHz band. In addition, the
RF4Control stack supports the sub-1GHz bands, as defined in the IEEE 802.15.4-
2006 standard [1], with the Atmel AT86RF212 [3]. For applications requiring the
use of a single-chip implementation (transceiver and microcontroller SoC), the
Atmel megaRF family provides such a single-chip solution. As a reference, the
ATmega256RFR2 [5] is used.
This user guide introduces the RF4Control architecture and its implementation in
section 2. Based on the stack, several example applications are implemented
demonstrating the use of the stack‟s functionality and APIs. Chapter 3 describes
the example applications.
Remote controlling is the main application area for RF4CE, and the Example
applications section introduces a few application examples (Terminal Target and
Key Remote Controller). Section 3.1.3 introduces a Single Button Controller
example application and walks through its implementation. The Key Remote

which uses the ATmega128RFA1 Radio Controller Board (RCB), is a certified ZigBee
Remote Control application. The software stack provides an API that is aligned with
the RF4CE network primitives, and which can be used directly from an application or
firmware. A serial interface API is also provided. The serial interface API can be used
for communication where the Atmel RF4CE stack is hosted on a separated
communication microcontroller and controlled by an additional microcontroller via, for
example, a UART, SPI or I2C serial interface. The serial interface approach is
described in section 0. An example application demonstrates using the serial
interface API with an UART interface (see section 3.3.6).
When working with the RF4Control stack, it is highly recommended to use the ZigBee
RF4CE specification version 1.01 [12]. Terms used throughout this document are
based on the ZigBee RF4CE specification. The ZigBee RF4CE also specified a
profile for remote control applications ZigBee Remote Control Profile (ZRC) [13].
Use this specification also as an additional source of information.
The RF4Control-ZID stack is used with Atmel microcontrollers and IEEE®802.15.4
transceivers. The ZigBee RF4CE specification makes use of the 2.4GHz band, and
Atmel IEEE 802.15.4 transceivers, such as the Atmel AT86RF231 AT86RF233,
support the 2.4GHz band.
This user guide also introduces the RF4Control-ZID architecture and its
implementation in Section 2.3. Based on the stack, one example application is
implemented demonstrating the use of the stack‟s functionality and APIs. Chapter $
describes the example application. The ZigBee RF4CE also specified a profile for HID
devices - ZigBee Input Device Profile (ZID). Use this specification also as an
additional source of information.[14]
1.1 Remote controlling
Remote controlling is the main application scope of the RF4CE standard. The first
profile published (ZigBee Remote Control profile, ZRC [13]) addresses the remote
controlling of consumer goods.
The RF4Control package contains a remote control example application in which one
board represents a TV (target node) while the other board represents a remote
controller (controller node). The end-user applications on both boards use the ZRC
profile, as defined by the RF4CE specification. A typical RF4CE network example is
shown in Figure 1-1.

Nodes can be made known to each other using a procedure called pairing. The ZRC
profile specification describes an automated/simplified pairing procedure, called push
button pairing, between a target node and a controller node.
Besides the pairing procedure, the profile points to the HDMI specification [15] for the
actual controller command codes (CEC Consumer Electronics Control).
1.2 HID Class Device
The RF4Control Package contains a ZID USB HID Adaptor application in which
adaptor act as HID Multimedia Keyboard and Mice, On the other end Key remote
controller will act as ZID HID Class Device. Which it sends the key board, mice and
mutitouch report to paired adaptor. ZID Profile uses push button pairing procedure.
2 RF4Control Stack implementation
2.1 Architecture
The Atmel RF4Control stack uses the Atmel IEEE 802.15.4 MAC as the underlying
layer. For detailed information about the MAC layer, see the AVR2025 MAC Software
Package [7].
Figure 2-1 shows the software architecture used for RF4Control stack
implementation.Figure 2-1. RF4Control software stack architecture.
The end-user application accesses the RF4CE network layer directly for initialization
and configuration. If the ZRC profile is part of the configuration, the ZRC profile
functions support the initialization and data exchange. If the ZID profile is part of the
configuration, ZID Profile functions support the initialization and data exchange.
The Atmel MAC software implementation is modular, allowing different hardware to
be used for RF4CE applications. The microcontroller and board are interfaced using
4
AVR2102
8357D-AVR-06/12
the Platform Abstraction Layer (PAL). The transceiver is interfaced using the
Transceiver Abstraction Layer (TAL). For further information about these layers, see
the MAC software package user guide [7].
2.2 ZigBee Remote Control profile
The ZigBee Remote Control (ZRC) profile defines the protocol (structure and
sequence of communication messages) between a ZRC-compliant remote control
(RC) device and a ZRC-compliant target device, such as a TV, DVD, etc.
The ZRC profile is specified by [13]. Compared to the RF4CE network specification
[12], the ZRC profile specification does not define primitives as Service Access Points
(SAP). Therefore the primitives descriptions cannot be used as RF4Control API
descriptions as is done within the network specification. The RF4Control API for the
ZRC profile is described within the following sections. For detailed information about
the API function, see also the reference manual provided in HTML format in section
2.6.
AVR2102

8357D-AVR-06/12
The ZRC profile interfaces to the RF4CE network layer to make use of the network‟s
standardized pairing and data transmission mechanisms. The pairing mechanism
specified by the ZRC profile is called push button pairing (PBP), and it includes the
discovery and pairing mechanisms. Push Button Pairing is described in section 2.2.1.
The ZRC profile also defines RC command discovery and RC command handling
procedures. These procedures are described in sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.3,
respectively.
In general, ZRC profile features are included in the firmware build if the
ZRC_PROFILE flag is defined within the Makefile or the IAR™ project file. Section
2.7 provides an overview of the build configuration.
2.2.1 Push button pairing
The push button pairing procedure uses and combines the discovery and pairing
mechanisms of the RF4CE network layer. After getting a user stimulus (Button Press
or PBP API call) on the controller, the PBP procedure automatically starts a discovery
procedure. The target device enters the auto-discovery response mode if triggered by
a Button Press or PBP API call. Once the discovery is successful, it automatically
starts the pairing procedure.
Dedicated PBP API functions are used by the target and controller nodes. Some PBP
API function parameters are used for discovery, and the remaining ones are used for
the actual pairing. Table 2-1 lists them for the target and Table 2-2 lists them for the
controller as implemented by the RF4Control stack. They are declared in the
pb_pairing.h header file.
The PBP functionality is included in the firmware build if the PBP_ORG/PBP_REC
flag is defined within the Makefile or the IAR project file. If the PBP_ORG/PBP_REC
flag is set, the PBP API functions are included and the discovery and pairing API
functions are hidden from the higher layers. The discovery and pairing functions are
used by the PBP implementation. The discovery and pairing API functions are
exposed to the application if PBP_REC/PBP_ORG is not set. Section 2.7 provides an
overview of the build configuration.

2.2.2 Command discovery
The command discovery procedure enables a target or controller to query the CEC
commands supported by the other node. The other node can respond by sending a
command discovery response frame containing a bitmap of its supported CEC
commands. The command discovery API is described in Table 2-3.
The command discovery functionality is included in the firmware build if the
ZRC_CMD_DISCOVERY flag is defined within the Makefile or the IAR project file.

2.2.3 RC command handling
RC command handling allows a controller node to send the RC command (CEC) to a
target node to perform the specified operation. For example, when a user presses a
“channel up” button on the remote controller, it sends a command over the air to the
target device (such as a TV) to increment the channel.
Three types of over-the-air commands are defined in the ZRC specification:
1. PRESSED command When a user presses an RC button, the PRESSED
command is sent to the target
2. REPEATED command If the user holds down a remote key for some time,
multiple REPEATED commands can be sent to the target
3. RELEASED command To stop the operation of a target device (TV, for
example), the user releases the pressed RC button and a RELEASED command
is sent
The Button Controller application example supports this command types, while the
Single Button Controller application example uses only the PRESSED command
type.
The REPEATED and RELEASED functionality is excluded from the firmware build if
the ZRC_BASIC_PRESS_ONLY flag is defined within the Makefile or the IAR project
file. If the ZRC_BASIC_PRESS_ONLY compiler switch is set, only the basic
PRESSED functionality is supported by the implementation. Section 2.7 provides an
overview of the build configuration.

2.3 ZigBee Input Device profile
The RF4CE ZID profile defines the over-air commandsand mechanisms required to
allow a Human Interface Device (HID) class device to communicate with a host. The
profile defines two types of device: a HID class device and a HID adaptor. The HID
class device can be used to support devices such as keyboards, mice or touchpads
and the HID adaptor can be used to communicate through a HID class driver to some
PC or other embedded host.

Figure - ZID class device and Adaptor architecture
Compared to the RF4CE network specification, the ZID profile specification does not
define primitives as Service Access Points (SAP). Therefore the primitives
descriptions cannot be used as RF4Control API descriptions as is done within
the network specification. The RF4Control API for the ZID profile is described within
the following sections.
The ZID profile specification uses the GDP profile for pairing and configuration
phase. GDP will use push button pairing protocol between an adaptor node
and a class device node
In general, ZID profile features are included in the firmware build if the ZID_PROFILE
flag is defined within the Makefile or the IAR™ project file.
2.3.1 Push button pairing
Refer section 2.2.1 for more information.
2.3.2 Configuration phase
Figure Configuration between adaptor and class device
10
AVR2102
8357D-AVR-06/12
The configuration phase enables the HID class device to get the attributes from HID
adaptor to check the compatibility with the adaptor and it also pushes its attributes to
the adaptor. Adaptor will use these attributes to populate the required descriptors for
the communication with the HID class driver.
2.3.3 ZID Command Handling
ZID command handling allows class device & adaptor to send the report to
each other. Apart from this, the adaptor can request the class device for the report.
Three types of ZID commands are defined in the ZID specification:
1. GET_REPORT command Adaptor can request the device for the report
2. REPORT_DATA command Sending the report to the other node
3. SET_REPORT command Adaptor can set the report at device side. It is also
AVR2102
11
8357D-AVR-06/12
used by the device to set the NULL report during the configuration phase.
Report data will be sent out by the class device to the adaptor which is then
forwarded to the HID class driver to perform the specified operation. For
example, when a mouse (class device) sends the mouse report data to the
adaptor and the response can be seen at HID class driver side.
The sample ZID device application example demonstrates how the application
can send out the report using the ZID profile API.
2.4 Channel agility
The RF4CE standard‟s frequency agility mechanism can be used to overcome a
jammed RF channel scenario. Although, the standard specification refers to
frequency agility, in reality channel agility is meant. In the context of the RF4Control
stack, the term “channel agility” is used.
The following paragraphs describe the design constraints and the implementation /
usage of the channel agility mechanism to supplement the RF4CE standard.
To detect a channel compromised by an external source of interference, a
mechanism called energy detection (ED) is employed. This functionality is provided
by the MAC layer, and is operated via ED scans. During ED scans the device cannot
receive any frames. Long or frequent scans result in dead times. To avoid long offline
durations, the most recently used channel (Base Channel) is scanned first. If the
measured channel energy exceeds the maximum ED threshold, all three channels
are scanned in sequence, and the channel with the lowest energy is set as the new
Base Channel.
The Atmel RF4Control stack provides a set of API functions allowing the user to
control the usage and behavior of the ED scans in the context of channel agility.
Table 2-5 lists the API functions and their parameters that can be used to control the
channel agility mechanism. The channel agility feature needs to be started by the
application using the nwk_ch_agility_request() API function, and it is then handled
automatically by the stack.
The channel agility API functions are included in the build process if the
CHANNEL_AGILITY compiler switch is defined within the Makefile or the IAR project
file. Section 2.7 provides an overview of the build configuration.

For more details of the actual API functions, see the HTML-based reference manual;
section 2.6.
2.5 Vendor-specific data handling
The RF4CE profiles define standard behavior to ensure compatibility between
different vendors. But some application requirements are not covered by the profile.
These requirements can be handled by application-specific frames. The RF4CE
standard allows transmitting application-specific frames using vendor data frames
handled in the profile context.
The Atmel RF4Control stack supports mechanisms (application hooks) for a
dedicated vendor specific data exchange in the ZRC profile context. These
mechanisms ensure the correct data handling without any impact on the standard
profile-specific data handling. Table 2-6 shows the API functions for vendor data
handling. The function prototypes can be found in the vendor_data.h header file
located in the RF4CE/Inc directory.
The vendor-specific API functions are included in the build process if the
VENDOR_DATA compiler switch is defined within the Makefile or the IAR project file.
Section 2.7 provides an overview of the build configuration.

combination with the Terminal Target application, demonstrate the use of the vendor
data exchange.
The ZRC Target (section 3.1.3 application example reveals the concept of vendor
data exchange by implementing a firmware over-the-air (FOTA) upgrade feature.
2.6 RF4Control firmware API
The Atmel RF4Control stack API is documented using Doxygen-style comments.
2.7 Stack configuration
The RF4Control stack can be configured to match end-user application requirements.
The configuration ensures that only functionality that is actually needed by the
application is included into the stack and that the footprint meets the desired or
minimum values.
The configuration is done in the same way as it is within the MAC software package
[7]; see its user guide for general information about stack configuration.
The RF4Control stack uses as the default CPU clock 16 MHz while be run on a
megaRF device. Depending on the application requirements the CPU clock can be
reduced (from the default 16 MHz operation) to 4 or 8 MHz by setting the define
F_CPU to 4000000 or 8000000 in the pal_config.h file. Reducing the CPU clock has
impact to the execution speed of the entire application.
The Atmel RF4Control stack can be configured by build/compiler switches. It is
defined within the app_config.h file, and is applicable to source code package
releases only.

2.8 Stack porting
This user guide describes how to use the Atmel RF4Control stack using a few
example boards. For a customer- or application-specific design, the existing stack
usually needs to be ported to a new hardware platform. The RF4Control stack is
designed in a way that abstracts the hardware-specific characteristics through lower
layers (Platform Abstraction Layer PAL, Figure 2-1).
Because the higher layers, such as the MAC, network, and profile layers, are
implemented independently from the underlying hardware platform, no changes are
usually required to these layers.
It is recommended to use an existing hardware platform and software application as a
basis for customer development. The application examples provided in chapter 3 are
a good starting point for your own application development.

The “Platform Porting” section of the AVR2025 user guide [7] describes how to port
from one hardware platform to another.
3 Example applications
The RF4Control stack package contains some example applications that can be used
for demonstration purposes and for getting familiar with the implementation for
customer application development. For demonstration purposes, the release package
includes pre-compiled firmware binary files (in .hex file format using the GCC
compiler or .d90/.a90 file format using the IAR compiler). These can be used out of
the box.
3.1 ZRC example application
3.1.1 Button Controller example application
3.1.1.1 Introduction
The button controller example application implements a button controller and its
target, which represents a TV, DVD, STB or similar device.
For the button controller, Atmel uses designated hardware called a Button Controller.
The counterpart of the button controller is the Terminal Target or ZRC Target
application. See 3.2 for further information about the Terminal Target setup, and
section.
The Terminal Target‟s user interface is realized by using a standard terminal
program, such as Windows® HyperTerminal. The target is controlled via the Terminal
target applications, for information about the ZRC Target application. program, and
the received button control commands are printed to the terminal program.
The handling of the Button Controller example application is described in section
3.1.2.1. The simpler button controller application, called a Single Button Controller, is
described in section 3.1.3
3.1.1.2 Button Controller board setup
The button controller setup consists of two boards connected together: (1) XMEGA-
A3BU-XPLAINED board and (2) the Transceiver board supports 2.4GHz and Sub
GHz. The XMEGA-A3BU-XPLAINED board holds buttons, LED, USB Interface and
Display. RF Communication handled by the Transceiver Board.
Figure 3-1 shows the XMEGA-A3BU-XPLAINED button controller application board.

3.1.2 Terminal target example application
The Terminal Target example application, which represents a TV, DVD, etc., can be
operated using several boards. The pre-compiled firmware for the supported boards
is located in the directory:
\thirdparty\wireless\avr2102_rf4control\apps\zrc\terminal_ \<
mcu_tranceiver_board>\GCC
or
\thirdparty\wireless\avr2102_rf4control\apps\zrc\terminal_tgt\<mcu_tra
nceiver_board>\IAR\Exe
where <mcu_tranceiver_board > represents the used hardware configuration, such as
at32uc3a3256s_rz600_at86rf212.
The AVR2025 User Guide ([7], section 7.3) provides further information about
firmware programming using AVR Studio.
Table 3-1 contains information about the recommended MCU fuse settings.
The board used for the Terminal Target application needs to be connected to a
PC/laptop via a serial interface; that is, an RS232/UART or USB interface. The
required USB drivers can be found here:
Atmel CDC USB driver used with XMEGA-A3BU-XPLAINED board: [16]
At the PC/laptop, a terminal program (Windows HyperTerminal, for example) is used
to control the Terminal Target application. Figure 3-1 shows the configuration of the
HyperTerminal program used for the example application.
If at32uc3a3256s_rz600_at86rf212 is used as terminal target, then Baudrate
needs to be set to 9600

AVR2102
8357D-AVR-06/12
The following actions can be triggered from the menu by entering a letter in the
HyperTerminal window.
(R) Perform a cold reset of the target device; NIB will be reset to default values and
stored in EEPROM
(S) Start the target device
(P) Start the pairing procedure on target device
(A) All-in-one start-up. Perform all three previous steps; that is, reset, start, and
pairing
(W) Perform a warm reset of the target device
(T) Print the pairing table
(U) Unpair a device and remove pairing entry from the pairing table of target
(C) Enable channel/frequency agility on the target device
(O) Open a sub-menu to configure channel agility
(B) Set the base channel on the target device
(Y) Toggle the standby mode of the target device. Target will sleep and then wake
up for 16.8ms every second. If target receives any data in 16.8ms window, it will
come out of standby mode
(D) Request the battery status from the controller. The target sends a battery status
request to the controller. The controller will send the response. The target sends
the request command continuously for one second (multi-channel mode) until
the controller wakes up (16.8ms window) to receive the data
(V) Request the firmware version from the remote controller. The target sends a
battery status request to the controller. The controller replies with the response.
The target sends the request command continuously for one second (multi-
channel mode) until the controller wakes up (16.8ms window) to receive the
data
(Z) Request the remote controller life status. The target sends an alive request to
the controller. The controller replies with the response. The target sends the
request command continuously for one second (multi-channel mode) until the
controller wakes up (16.8ms window) to receive the data. The LEDs on the
controller will blink for some time indicating that an alive request is received
(M) Request the remote controller to enable the accelerometer for a defined
duration(ON duration) and send the accelerometer position to the target
periodically(200 ms).After receiving this request, the controller will blink once for
indication and start sending the accelerometer position at regular interval(200
ms) till the ON duration expires.
Remote controller clearing
The remote controller might have stored any data to the microcontroller EEPROM
from previous operations. Therefore, it is recommended to clear any data that is
stored in the EEPROM and reset any previously stored pairing information. The
pairing table is stored in the MCU EEPROM.
The remote controller application including EEPROM is cleared by executing a cold
start reset. The cold start reset is initiated by pressing the SEL button first then
keeping SEL button pressed, hold down the PWR button. The application indicates
that it is ready for clearing when the LEDs next to the SEL & PWR buttons turn on.
Releasing the SEL & PWR buttons clears all stored data. The clearing procedure is
completed when LED ON. After clearing all previously stored data (expect IEEE
address), the remote controller application sets itself to sleep mode for power saving.
In some scenarios LED ON indicates that a problem has been detected. For example,
the application detects that it is not paired to any other device.
AVR2102
21
8357D-AVR-06/12
Pairing
In order to control the Terminal Target by the Button Controller board, it is necessary
to pair both boards with one another. The pairing procedure, called push button
pairing, is defined by the ZigBee RF4CE Remote Control profile specification.
Using the example application, the easiest way to execute push button pairing is as
follows:
Step 1: Enter „A‟ at the terminal program to execute an “All-in-one start.” This
includes the reset of the node, initialization of the ZRC profile, start of the
network layer, and the auto-discovery procedure as part of the push pairing
sequence. The terminal program indicates that it is ready for the push button
pairing procedure by printing “Press SEL key then keeping SEL pressed
press any FUNC key This starts the push button pairing at the button
controller.” and by flashing all the LEDs.
Step 2: Start the push button pairing procedure on the button controller board by
pressing the SEL button first then keeping the SEL button pressed, hold
down one of Target-1 or Target-2 function key. The output of a successful
pairing sequence is shown in Figure 3-3.
The information stored into the Terminal Target pairing table can be listed by
selecting „T‟ from the target menu.
Now the Button Controller can be used to send commands to the target.
The button controller board can be used to control different targets. For example, the
Target-1 key can be used to control a TV and a Target-2 key can be used to control
another target, like a DVD. The function key pressed during the pairing procedure
determines the target node to be controlled.
If the all-in-one start is not used to establish the pairing, the manual sequence needs
to be as follows: Reset, start, and then push button pairing.Figure 3-3. Terminal
Target example application output successful pairing.
22
AVR2102
8357D-AVR-06/12
In order to control another target device by the same button controller, the push
button pairing procedure needs to be repeated with another Terminal Target
application using a different Target key.
The Terminal Target example application is limited to three paired devices/controllers
at a time.
Operation
After successful pairing of the two boards (target and controller), the Button Controller
board can be used to control the Terminal Target application. The command code
(HDMI CEC [15]) of a key that is pressed at the Button Controller board is sent to the
Terminal Target application and printed in the terminal window. If a data frame is
received by the target, it flashes the data LED. All LEDs are flashed once if the
Remote Controller Board does not get an acknowledgement from the target node.
This can be used to check the coverage of the implementation. Pressing two push
buttons simultaneously is not supported.
The SEL & Target-1 or Target-2 keys can be used to switch between different target
devices. In order to do so, press the SEL button first and then press the desired
function key that was used during the pairing procedure. If a function key is selected
that has not been used for a pairing procedure with a terminal target application, all
LEDs will flash to indicate a malfunction. Wait until the LED flashing has stopped
before continuing.
The button controller boards support all three command types: PRESSED,
REPEATED, and RELEASED (section 2.2.3). Table 3-2 shows the button controller
board buttons and their corresponding ZRC command codes.
Table 3-2. KEY_RC board ZRC command codes.
Button
Command code
PWR
PRESSED
VOLUME
REPEATED
If power to the remote controller board is momentarily disconnected, the active
function needs to be reselected by pressing the SEL button followed by the function
button that was used previously during the pairing procedure.
From the terminal output, menu item C, channel agility, can be used to toggle (enable
or disable) the periodic channel agility mechanism at the target node. See section 2.2
for further information about channel agility. The current status (enabled or disabled)
of the periodic channel agility mode is printed to the terminal program (“Channel
agility (periodic mode) enabled,” for example).
Channel agility becomes very useful in noisy channel environments. When the noise
level on the current operating channel become too great (for demonstration purposes,
the noise threshold level was set to -80dBm) and the adjacent channels yield better
noise performance, the channel with the lowest noise energy will be selected as the
new base channel. The parameters used for the channel agility mechanism can be
configured using the menu item O, channel agility configuration.
If it is desired to demonstrate channel agility when the noise situation would not
ordinarily warrant changing the current channel, menu entry B, base channel change,
can be used to force a base channel change.
Menu item Y, standby, sets the Terminal Target application‟s transceiver to power
save mode. During power save mode, the receiver is set periodically to sleep and
wake up again. The transmit mechanisms of RF4CE allow the target to wake up
during the power save mode by sending a command from the remote controller.
AVR2102
23
8357D-AVR-06/12
Menu item M provides the user to enable the accelerometer at the controller side. It
also takes the input for the accelerometer ON duration. The target will receive the
accelerometer position from the remote controller every 200ms till the accelerometer
ON duration expires.
RF frame capture
Over-the-air RF frames that are exchanged between both nodes during startup,
pairing, and remote control operation can be captured and displayed on the screen by
using an RF sniffer.
Figure 3-4 shows an example of the RF frames exchanged during startup, discovery,
and pairing between the Terminal Target and the Button Controller applications. The
security is enabled at both nodes, and the KeyExTransferCount parameter is set to its
minimum value of 3.

3.1.3 Single Button Controller example application
To understand how to use the RF4Control API (see section 2.2 and section 2.6) in a
user-defined application, a simple Single Button Controller is introduced. It is simpler
than the Key Remote Controller application. It makes use of only a single button, and
can be operated as one module. It needs an adapter board only for programming.
The following description uses the Atmel ATmega128RFA1 RCB, called
RCB_6_3_PLAIN [19]. Besides the RCB_6_3_PLAIN board, the Atmel
ATmega128RFA1-EK1 [18] board, ATMEGA256RFR2_XPLAINED_PRO board used
to run this application.
24
AVR2102
8357D-AVR-06/12
3.1.3.1 Hardware
Figure 3-5. ATmega128RFA1 RCB_6_3_PLAIN.
The Atmel ATmega128RFA1 RCB_6_3_PLAIN board contains three general purpose
LEDs (D1, D2 and D3) and one push button for application control. Status LED D5 to
the right of the button displays the Atmel ATmega128RFA1 reset state. LEDs and
button are shown on the bottom side of Figure 3-5. For correct operation, the antenna
needs to be connected to the RCB‟s SMA connector, and two batteries (AAA) need to
be inserted into the RCB‟s battery holder. For further information about the RCB, see
[19].
3.1.3.2 Firmware programming
The AVR2102 package contains pre-compiled binaries providing an out-of-the-box
experience. The MAC User Guide ([7], section 7.3) provides further information about
firmware programming using Atmel Studio. Table 3-1 contains information about the
recommended MCU fuse settings.
For debugging and programming purposes, a JTAG [10] is required. The JTAG is
connected to the RCB via a Breakout Board (BB), Sensor Terminal board
3.1.3.3 Application handling
Once the firmware is downloaded to the ATmega128RFA1 device and the JTAG pod
and BB are disconnected, the application can be started. The RCB communication
peer is the Terminal Target application (see section 0).
3.1.3.4 Cold start
The cold-start reset and push button pairing procedure is initiated by pushing the
button on the controller and entering 'A‟ on the HyperTerminal menu on the Terminal
Target. Either device can start the push button pairing procedure.
In order to pair the Single Button Controller with the Terminal Target, the push button
pairing procedure is used. At the Terminal Target application, the push button pairing
procedure is started by entering „A‟ at the HyperTerminal menu on the Terminal
Target. The device is reset and started. Then the Terminal Target application displays
the ready message to the terminal window: “Press the push button pairing button at
the remote controller now.”
AVR2102
25
8357D-AVR-06/12
To start the push button pairing procedure, the RCB push button needs to be pressed
as the board is switched on. The board LEDs show the current status of the pairing
procedure:
LED 0 (D2): application reset and initialization; or error indication
LED 1 (D3): push button pairing (discovery and pairing); or error indication
LED 2 (D4): error indication
If the push button pairing procedure has been completed successfully, all three LEDs
are switched on for about one second. The Single Button Controller has limited error
handling capability. Blinking LEDs indicate that an error has occurred during
discovery or pairing.
After successful pairing, the Atmel ATmega128RFA1 device is set to sleep. Pressing
the push button wakes the MCU and sends an RF4CE frame
(POWER_TOGGLE_FUNCTION command) to the paired device, that is, to the
Terminal Target application. The Terminal Target application toggles its LED 1 and
the relay 1 if the POWER_TOGGLE_FUNCTION command is received. If the
Terminal Target application does not send an acknowledgement to the Single Button
Controller, all three controller LEDs are switched on for about two seconds.
3.1.3.5 Warm start - Reinstating existing pairing table
The pairing information is stored to the non-volatile memory (NVM) of the
ATmega128RFA1. The RCB can be switched off using the power switch (see left side
in Figure 3-5). If the push button is not pressed during power up of the RCB, a warm
start is performed. During the warm start, the pairing information is read from the
NVM as the Single Button Controller is powered up again. The pairing table used in
the last session is reinstated on power-up. All three LEDs are switched on at the
same time and switched off in sequence, indicating that the warm start reset has
been completed.
3.1.3.6 Development environment
Two different development environments are supported by the included project or
Makefile files:

3.1.3.9 Vendor-specific data exchange
For vendor-specific data exchange, the RF4Control stack provides vendor-specific
data handling API functions (see section 2.5). Every application can define the
semantics of the vendor-specific data. The Single Button Controller application uses
vendor-specific data exchange to implement the following features:
Battery status request/response
Alive request/response
Firmware version request/response
Rx Enable request/response
Firmware request/response for firmware over-the-air (FOTA) update
Firmware swap
For this application, the request messages are sent by the target node (Terminal
Target or ZRC Target application), and the controller node (Single Button Controller)
answers the request with a response message.
Example: The user initiates a battery status request by entering option D on the
Terminal Target menu. The target node sends the battery status request frame using
multi-channel transmission to the controller node. The controller, operating in power
save mode, switches its receiver on every second for a short duration. During this
window, the controller receives this request frame. The controller stack analyzes the
frame and calls the vendor data indication callback function vendor_data_ind(). Within
the vendor_data_ind() function, the payload is parsed and a battery status request is
identified. The controller measures its voltage level and replies with the battery
response message frame.
ZID example application
The RF4Control-ZID stack package contains example application that can be used for
demonstration purposes and for getting familiar with the implementation for consumer
application development..
3.2 ZID Example application
3.2.1 ZID USB HID Adaptor example application
3.2.1.1 Features
1. Compliance with ZigBee RF4CE network layer specification, as a target node
2. Compliance with ZigBee RF4CE ZID specification, as a target node
3. Integrated with USB-HID Stack.
4. HID Compliant Consumer Control device
5. HID Compliant Mouse and Keyboard.
6. ZigBee RF4CE network layer security
3.2.1.2 Application Overview
This section demonstrates the use of Zigbit RF233 USB stick as ZID adaptor which
receives ZID reports from ZID class device over the air and sends to the PC via USB
HID interface. Thus the ZID Remote (class Device) can control the PC. The ZID
adaptor communicates with the PC via the USB HID stack that is integrated into the
28
AVR2102
8357D-AVR-06/12
application. So that the ZID adaptor will act as a HID Compliant device connected to
the PC.
3.2.1.3 On Power Up/Initialization
When the USB adaptor is connected to the PC, it initializes the RF4CE ZID stack and
the USB HID stack enumerates as a HID Compliant composite device (as a
Keyboard, Consumer control device which controls multimedia keys and Mouse) as
shown in the screenshot. Wait for the device to enumerate when it is connected for
the first time.
After initialization, ZID adaptor, performs all in one start, this includes initialization of
the ZID profile, start of the network layer, and the auto-discovery procedure as part of
the push pairing sequence. This starts the push button pairing at by flashing the
Green LED on the board. After successful pairing of the two boards (adaptor and
class device), the key remote Controller board can be used to control the PC
applications via ZID USB adaptor. ZID report of a key that is pressed at the Button
Controller board is sent to the USB adaptor application and the corresponding HID
report is sent to the PC. ZID reports triggered by media player keys( volume
up/down/mute keys, * play / pause / stop /next/previous keys are handled by
supporting applications (for example, Windows master volume control, media player,
etc...)Along with media player remote, the ZID Remote application also demonstrates
Power point (PPT) remote and Pointing and clicking functionality as mouse. The Key
mapping details are provided in the ZID Remote controller device application.

3.2.5 ZID Terminal Adaptor Application
The board used for the Terminal adaptor application needs to be connected to
a PC/laptop via a serial interface; in case of uart an RS232/UART interface.
At the PC/laptop, a terminal program (Windows HyperTerminal, for example) is used
to control the Terminal adaptor application. For the terminal adaptor, then Baudrate
needs to be set to 9600.
Once the Terminal adaptor application is powered up,open the terminal program and
press any key to print the menu to the terminal window. The following figure shows
the terminal window with the application menu.
Figure. Terminal Adaptor example application menu
AVR2102

8357D-AVR-06/12
The following actions can be triggered from the menu by entering a letter in
the HyperTerminal window.
(R) Perform a cold reset of the target device; netw ork and ZID NIB will be reset to
default values and stored in NVM
(S) Start the adaptor device
(Z) Start the ZID connection procedure on target device
(A) All-in-one start-up. Perform all three previoussteps; that is, reset, start, and ZID
connection
(W) Perform a warm reset of the target device
(P) Print the pairing table
3.2.5.1 Cold reset and warm reset
The class device & adaptor might have stored any data to the NVM from previous
operations. Therefore, it is recommended to clear any data that is stored in the NVM
and reset any previously stored pairing information. This is achieved by cold reset.
The menu option („R‟) is available for the terminaladaptor to do cold reset. At the
class device side, Cold start reset is initiated by pressing the button on power on. If
we don‟t press the button on power on, it will do warm reset i.e initialize the network
and ZID nib from NVM.
3.2.5.2 Starting the node
The menu option („S‟) is available for the terminaladaptor to start the node after the
reset. At the class device, this will be triggered automatically after the cold/warm
reset.
3.2.5.3 ZID attribute initialization
This is not demonstrated in the sample application.Since we are using the default
attribute values. Generally this will be done in the custom application to initialize the
attributes based on the application/device requirements.
3.2.5.4 ZID connection
The menu option („Z‟) is available for the terminal adaptor to start the pairing
and configuration. At the class device, this will be triggered automatically after the
node start. After pairing and configuration, application will be notified of the status of
the pairing and configuration. On terminal adaptor, we can see the following
message for the successful connection.

3.2.6 ZID Adaptor operations
Once the USB Zigbit Adaptor is connected to PC, USB HID Adaptor will enumerate
the ZID Adaptor as multimedia keyboard and mice. Also it initiates and starts the
network functionality. It will toggle the led for other device to pair with this ZID
Adaptor.
3.2.7 Cold reset and warm reset
The class device & adaptor might have stored any data to the NVM from previous
operations. Therefore, it is recommended to clear any data that is stored in the NVM
and reset any previously stored pairing information. This is achieved by cold reset.
At the class device side, Cold start reset is initiated by application any external event.
If we don‟t do the cold start, it will do warm reset i.e initialize the network and ZID nib
from NVM.
3.2.8 Starting the node
In Class Device side starting the node will be triggered automatically after the
cold/warm reset.
3.2.9 ZID Attribute Initialization
This is not demonstrated in the sample application. Since we are using the default
attribute values. Generally this will be done in the custom application to initialize the
attributes based on the application/device requirements.

3.2.10 ZID connection
HID Adaptor to start the pairing initiation can be done at any time. At the class
device, this will triggered automatically after the node start. After pairing and
configuration, application will be notified of the status of the pairing and configuration.
In ZID Adaptor side we can see the LED blink stopped and LED is On.
3.2.11 ZID Report data from the ZID device
After the successful connection, class device will send out all the descriptors once.
After that, it will send out the report data on button press. If we keep on pressing the
button, it will send the report continuously. It will stop on button release after
completing the current loop.
Reports which is supported by the ZID Class Device
Mouse, Keyboard, Contact Data, Tap gesture, Scroll gesture, Pinch gesture, Rotate
gesture, Sync, Touch sensor properties, Tap Support properties.
The descriptor is received at ZID adaptor side will be made action on cursors and
related keys and its response. This demonstrates how to extract the report from the
received descriptor.
If anything goes wrong with pairing/configuration, we will get the connection
confirmation along with status indicating the reason.

3.3 Serial Interface example application
3.3.1 Introduction
The Atmel RF4Control stack provides a Serial Interface example application that can
be used for any inter-processor communication between a host controller running the
main application and a client controller handling the RF4CE communication over the
air. Both controllers use a serial interface to communicate. The host controller can be
implemented as a standalone microcontroller, or it can also be a personal computer.
Figure 3-9 shows a communication scenario example.
The client receives commands from the host, such as data transfer requests. The
client indicates received data over the air from its communication peer by returning
data indications to its host.
Figure 3-9. Communication scenario example.
The physical interface between the main application controller and the RF4CE client
can be manifold, including:
UART
USB
I2C (TWI)
Proprietary interface
The Serial Interface example application uses a UART (RS-232) or USB for the serial
interface. The physical interface handling is implemented by the PAL; see AVR2025
MAC Software Package [7] for further information about the PAL.

(target /
controller)
Serial Interface
e.g. UART, I2C
AVR2102

8357D-AVR-06/12
The logical interface is handled by the example application within the file
“serial_interface.c”. This file implements the logical protocol used for the
communication between the main application host and the RF4CE client application.
The same protocol scheme is used for host-to-client and client-to-host
communications.
3.3.2 Message structure
The message structure of the logical protocol is described by the following table.
Table 3-3. Logical protocol message structure (in bytes).
Message header

0x…
0x04
The message consists of the message header, message payload, and message
trailer.
The start-of-text symbol (SOT) and the length of payload field form the message
header. The value of the length field indicates how many bytes are contained in the
actual message payload; that is, the number of message payload bytes before the
message trailer end-of-text (EOT) symbol is expected. The message payload is
appended after the message header. The message payload starts with the message
code followed by the message data fields. The length and the code of each message
are listed in Table 3-4.
The order of the payload bytes is aligned to the RF4CE primitive specification [12]. If
more than one parameter is used by the primitive, the parameters are concatenated
to the end of a byte stream in the message payload. Parameters whose size is longer
than 8 bits in length are sent with the least-significant byte first. Parameters with 24-
bit lengths are encoded as 32-bit values where the most-significant byte contains a
dummy value and is ignored by the serial interface. Parameter lists such as
DevTypeList and ProfileIdList, which have a variable length based on the primitive
specification, consist of a fixed length when using the serial interface protocol. The
serial interface protocol sets the maximum length for each list; that is, the size of
DevTypeList is set to 3 and size of ProfileIdList is set to 7. List values of unused
entries are ignored, but need to be present.
The following examples introduce this concept.
3.3.2.1 Message structure example 1: NLME-RESET.request primitive
If the main application host wants to reset the network layer of the RF4CE application,
it sends the NLME-RESET.request command to the RF4CE client. See [12] for further
information about the NLME-RESET.request primitive. This request command
requires the SetDefaultNIB parameter. Following this example, the value of the
SetDefaultNIB value is set to true (1). Using the Serial Interface application, the
NLME-RESET.request is encoded and sent as a byte stream via the serial link as
follows:
Listing 3-1. NLME-RESET.request command byte stream.

AVR2102
8357D-AVR-06/12
Byte stream from application host to RF4CE client via serial interface:

0x02: Length field value
0x2A: Message code for NLME-RESET.request
0x01: Message parameter SetDefaultNIB; here 0x01 = true
0x04: EOT
The RF4CE client answers a NLME-RESET.request with a NLME-RESET.confirm
primitive. Using the Serial Interface application, the NLME-RESET.confirm message
is encoded and sent as a byte stream via the serial link as follows:
Listing 3-2. NLME-RESET.confirm command byte stream.
Byte stream from RF4CE client to application host via serial interface:

0x04: EOT
3.3.2.2 Message structure example 2: NLME-AUTO-DISCOVERY.confirm
primitive
The RF4CE client application generates a NLME-AUTO-DISCOVERY.confirm
primitive as the result of the NLME-AUTO-DISCOVERY.request. Listing 3-3 shows
the NLME-AUTO-DISCOVERY.confirm primitive message that is forwarded from the
RF4CE client application to the main application host.
Listing 3-3. NLME-AUTO-DISCOVERY.confirm message.

0x01 0x02 0x0A 0x36 0x00 0x08 0x07 0x06 0x05 0x04 0x03 0x02 0x01

3.3.2.3 Message structure exception
As described, the message data payload is aligned to the RF4CE primitive order and
size, in general. There are two exceptions to this rule, however: (1) the NLDE-
DATA.request and (2) the NLDE-DATA.indication primitive messages. The parameter
order for these primitives is changed in comparison to the RF4CE specification.
Listed below are the primitives with their own parameter order for the Serial Interface
application example:
NLDE-DATA.request parameter order:
PairingRef, ProfileId, VendorId, TxOptions, nsduLength, nsdu
NLDE-DATA.indication:
PairingRef, ProfileId, vendorId, RxLinkQuality, RxFlags, nsduLength, nsdu

For better readability, the Atmel RF4Control stack uses the header file
nwk_msg_code.h to assign symbolic names to the message codes. For functional
compatibility, enumeration and assigned numbers should not be changed in this

3.3.5 Protocol adaption
The message structure described here is an example implemented by the Serial
Interface application. The protocol or message structure can easily be adapted to the
end-user‟s application needs. For example, a checksum, such as CRC, can be added
to detect and correct errors that might occur over the serial link.
3.3.6 Serial interface usage
As introduced in section 3.3.1, the Serial Interface application can be used in a
scenario where the Atmel RF4CE stack in hosted on one microcontroller and the
main application processor controls it via a serial interface. The following section
explains how to use the Serial Interface application to set up a communication link.
The following figure shows such a setup.
Figure 3-10. Application setup using serial interface.
The main application microcontroller A hosts an application, such as a TV, controlling
the RF4CE client A. The other main application microcontroller B hosts an
application, such as a remote controller, controlling the RF4CE client B. The main
application microcontrollers use a serial interface to communicate with their RF4CE
clients.
The application hosts send commands to their RF4CE clients to configure the RF4CE
communication. The charts below show a typical scenario of commands that establish
an RF4CE link and send a data frame to the target.
The data communication between the host and the client serial interface is described
in section 3.3.2.
A typical RF4CE network application can be realized using the following hypothetical
operating scenario:
Main

RF4CE

Step1: Node initialization: Each client is configured (reset, set capabilities, set
LQI threshold, etc.)
Step 2: Discovery and pairing. Each client is directed to start discovery and
pairing procedures
Step 3: Data transmission. Each client is controlled to transmit and receive
RF4CE application data

There is no need to synchronize the auto discovery request on the target node and
the discovery request on the controller node because the discovery request
commands are sent by the RF4CE client several times, depending of the discovery
repetition interval and the maximum discovery repetitions. The target node (Client A)
is ready for the discovery request from the controller node and it is based on the
duration parameter used for the auto discovery request command.

3.4 ZigBee Remote Control serial interface
The RF4Control stack provides a ZRC Serial Interface application that is similar to
Serial Interface application. The major differences are that the ZRC Serial Interface
application supports:
push button pairing API instead of the normal discovery and pairing mechanism
remote control command discovery
RC command handling instead of normal data transfer
vendor-specific commands
a controller and target configuration instead of a generic platform configuration
3.4.1 ZRC Serial Interface message codes
The underlying architecture and message structure of the ZRC Serial Interface
application remain the same as those of the Serial Interface application described in
section 0.
Table 3-5 lists the message codes and message lengths supported by ZRC Serial
Interface protocol.

4 Serial bootloader support
The serial bootloader firmware is capable of programming (flashing) the device
program memory with a new program application image without using a device
programmer (e.g. JTAGICEII).
4.1 Functionality Overview
This feature is supported on all the extension boards of Xmega-a3u and
Xmega256RFR2.. Please refer to “Supported boards” section 11.4 in the MAC user
guide [7].
The bootloader program is also available at thirdparty\wireless\addons\bootloader.
Note: In case, if bootloader firmware needs to be programmed using device
programmer, then following fuse settings needs to be used
Table 4-1. Recommended fuse settings for applications using serial bootloader
Fuse settings can also be specified in terms of bytes as given below -
Extended : 0xFE
High : 0x92
Low : 0x42
Serial bootloader consists of two parts: embedded bootstrap code that should be
loaded to the flash memory of ATmega128RFA1 and PC based application that
sends data to the embedded bootstrap over serial link. Embedded bootstrap code
uses the received data to program the internal flash memory of the MCU. A simple
communication protocol is used to ensure proper programming. Motorola S-record
(SREC) format files are supported as source images for the serial bootloader PC part.
To upload (flash) the new image (.srec extension) into device program application
memory (flash), a dedicated serial bootloader PC application (either a GUI or
console) is executed on the host. This application is part of BitCloud SDK for megaRF
and available at [23].

For more details on serial bootloader programming to flash the image through serial
bootloader application, please refer AVR2054 Serial Bootloader User Guide [23].
To upload the application image using the programmer, we need to merge the boot
loader image with the application image (srec_cat tool can be used). Then we have to
upload the merged image to the board.
For example, To upload the serial interface application image to Atmega256RFR2
zigbit modules, first we need to run the following command to merge the application
image with the bootloader image after generating the application image.
srec_cat Serial_Interface_Platform.hex -intel bootloader.hex -intel -o
Serial_Interface_Platform_BT.hex intel
Then we can use Atmel studio programmer to flash the merged image to the target
board.

5.3 Registering ZRC indication callbacks
The application needs to register the indication callbacks for network layer/ZRC
profile at the network startup. The following APIs are provided by Network layer/ZRC
profile to the application for registering the indication callbacks.
void register_zrc_indication_callback(zrc_indication_callback_t *zrc_ind_callback);
void register_nwk_indication_callback(nwk_indication_callback_t *nwk_ind_cb);
The application needs to define the structure of the corresponding indication callback
(zrc/network) and fill it with the required callbacks. In case of partially filled indication
structure, we have to initialize other callbacks to NULL to ignore them. Then it should
call the corresponding API passing the structure as an argument.
5.3.1 Indication structure
The structure used for registering the network indication callbacks is shown below.
typedef struct nwk_indication_callback
{
nwk_ch_agility_indication_cb_t nwk_ch_agility_indication_cb;

profile to the application for registering the indication callbacks.
void register_zid_indication_callback(zid_indication_callback_t *zid_ind_callback);
void register_nwk_indication_callback(nwk_indication_callback_t *nwk_ind_cb);
The application needs to define the structure of the corresponding indication callback
(ZRC/Network) and fill it with the required callbacks. In case of partially filled
indication structure, we have to initialize other callbacks to NULL to ignore them.
Then it should call the corresponding API passing the structure as an argument.
5.5 Indication structure
The structure used for registering the network indication callbacks is shown below.
typedef struct nwk_indication_callback
{
nwk_ch_agility_indication_cb_t nwk_ch_agility_indication_cb;

78
AVR2102
8357D-AVR-06/12
} nwk_indication_callback_t;
Generally nwk_ch_agility_indication_cb and nlme_unpair_indication_cb indications
will be available to the ZID application. Other indications will be internally handled by
the ZID profile layer.
The structure used for registering the ZRC indication callbacks is shown below.
typedef struct zid_indication_callback_tag
{
#if (defined ZID_ADAPTOR) || (defined DOXYGEN)
zid_heartbeat_indication_cb_t zid_heartbeat_indication_cb;
zid_standby_leave_indication_cb_t zid_standby_leave_indication_cb;
#endif
#if (defined VENDOR_DATA) || (defined DOXYGEN)
vendor_data_ind_cb_t vendor_data_ind_cb;
#endif
zid_report_data_indication_cb_t zid_report_data_indication_cb;
#if (defined ZID_DEVICE) || (defined DOXYGEN)
zid_get_report_indication_cb_t zid_get_report_indication_cb;
#endif
} zid_indication_callback_t;
For example:
static zid_indication_callback_t zid_ind;
main(void)
{
/* initializing the required ZID indication callbacks */
zid_ind.zid_report_data_indication_cb = zid_report_data_indication;
register_zid_indication_callback(&zid_ind);
}
Static void zid_report_data_indication (uint8_t PairingRef, uint8_t
num_report_records,
zid_report_data_record_t *zid_report_data_record_ptr,
