Hi everyone, Im trying to create a zigbee network with an xbee 3.0 attached to a connectcore 6ul pro with yocto. how can i control the xbee (configure the parameters and send packages)? ---

Pablovi96, Have you looked at the documentation and sample applications at [https://www.digi.com/support/productdetail?pid=5619&type=documentation](https://www.digi.com/support/productdetail?pid=5619&type=documentation) Digi Support ---

Yes, but I dont find any information about how to control the xbee. I have tried to connect the USB and find the device with XCTU but doesnt work. ---

I would not expect XCTU to locate the radio via the CC6UL. I would expect it to find it if you mounted it on a Development board for the XBee and connected that to the PC. As for the other, you might need to send an email to [tech.support@digi.com](mailto:tech.support@digi.com) for someone to provide you the link to the data you are looking for. ---

Ok so I need a development board for the xbee? I was hoping to be able to do it from the CC6UL… Thank you ---

Hi Pablovi96, You do not need an XBee dev board. The socket on the 6UL Pro is UART 2. [https://www.digi.com/resources/documentation/digidocs/embedded/dey/2.6/cc6ul/bsp\_r\_xbee-socket\_6ul](https://www.digi.com/resources/documentation/digidocs/embedded/dey/2.6/cc6ul/bsp_r_xbee-socket_6ul) Your Yocto build will need a library to talk to the module. [https://www.digi.com/resources/documentation/digidocs/embedded/dey/2.6/cc6ul/yocto\_c\_xbee-libraries](https://www.digi.com/resources/documentation/digidocs/embedded/dey/2.6/cc6ul/yocto_c_xbee-libraries) Personally, I prefer python but you can use whatever you prefer. Then you just use the existing info in the library help which you can find on Github. [https://github.com/digidotcom/](https://github.com/digidotcom/) There is a GUI for setting the XBee, XCTU, but it does not come in a Linux ARM build.
