BDB_vStart

void BDB_vStart(void);

Description

This function starts the ZigBee Base Device (ZBD) and must be called after BDB_vInit() and just before the application enters the main loop (for example: APP_vMainLoop()).

Depending on the node type and whether the node was previously a member of a network, the function may or may not perform an action. In either case, the function invokes the callback function APP_vBdbCallback() with a suitable event.

• If the node was not in a network:

  • For a Router node that supports Touchlink commissioning, the function selects a radio channel for the node from the set of primary channels defined for Touchlink.

  • For other Router, Coordinator, and End Device nodes, no action is taken and the application then must join the node to a network.

    • In the above cases, the function generates the event BDB_EVENT_INIT_SUCCESS.

• If the node was in a network:

  • For Coordinator and Router nodes, no action is taken by the function and the event BDB_EVENT_INIT_SUCCESS is generated.

  • For an End Device node, a series of rejoin attempts are performed. If a rejoin attempt is successful, the event BDB_EVENT_REJOIN_SUCCESS is generated. If all rejoins are unsuccessful, the event BDB_EVENT_REJOIN_FAILURE is generated unless unsecured joins are enabled, in which case a join through Network Steering is attempted.

The above actions are described in more detail in Section 2.1.
