Node not joining the network after flashing with new firmware

I am able to setup the ADRadioNet demo as explained in the document and it is working fine until I upgraded the firmware on one of the units. Now, the node is unable to join the network. I followed the procedure to flash the unit & hope I did not toast the node.

  • I presume you flashed your device with the Flash Programmer tool as suggested. It won't toast the device, so don't worry. The Renesas Flash Programmer tool erase the complete memory - data as well as program. This means your node configuration settings are lost for ever. Hence you need to re-configure the device as intended. Please make sure what this device is originally in your network - Endpoint? or Router?, and start configuring all the parameters.

    Please note, if you are using IAR tool, then your node may not require to be configured again. This is because IAR tool erases only the program memory and not data.
