Project Setup with Simplicity Studio

[gilbertf]

Hi
working on adapting the firmware to the MINI-ZBRBS dual relay module. I have successfully flashed the firmware using a Raspberry Pico 2 with debug probe firmware and modified the source code to match the pin-out of the module (one of two relays).
Now I want to introduce the possibility to control the second relay. Therefore I installed the most recent Simplicity Studio 5. After downgrading to Simplicity SDK 2024.6.2 importing the project (file src/zbminir2/zbminir2.slcp) is possible without NullPointerException error. Now I'm expecting to be able to run the "Pin Tool", but nothing happens. Similar for ZCL. Opening zcl_config.zap is stuck in the process.
Any ideas how to continue? Tried with Linux and Windows.

Hey!

Couple of things (potentially) at play here:

1. Make sure you use the import feature (File -> Import) to import the project - attempting to open the *.slcp file directly gives me a null pointer exception as well. Sounds like you got this right though..
2. The pin tool not opening is because I did not include the pintool file. I've just comitted it - try reimporting and it should work.
3. zcl_config.zap not opening: I remember having to modify the .zap file to make sure the reference to mfg-specific-cluster.xml resolves correctly at build time (using the cli setup in this repo - ie. without Simplicity Studio). This is done by passing it as an environment variable (refer to CLUSTER_XML in build.sh). This likely breaks opening it in Simplicity Studio (at least I get an error related to it) - the original definition was:

    {
      "pathRelativity": "relativeToZap",
      "path": "..\\..\\..\\mfg-specific-cluster.xml",
      "type": "zcl-xml-standalone"
    }

If you fix that it should open.

Hope that helps! I'm using Simplicity Studio on Windows for what it's worth.
