5 Initial Steps

5.1 Installing the USB Driver

To get the required USB driver for the CC Debugger, it is necessary to install one of the tools listed below:

• SmartRF Studio [8]

• SmartRF Flash Programmer [9]

• SmartRF Packet Sniffer [10]

• PurePath Wireless Configurator [12]

• PurePath Wireless Commander [13]

Alternatively, you can download Cebal – CCxxxx Development Tools USB Driver for Windows x86 and

x64 [4], which is a standalone installer including only the device driver.

After the driver is installed, connect the CC Debugger to the PC. The USB driver is installed automatically.

You can quickly check that the debugger has been associated correctly with the USB device driver by

opening the Windows Device Manager. The debugger should appear as a “Cebal controlled device”.

Currently, the CC Debugger can be used together with the following PC Tools:

• IAR Embedded Workbench for 8051: In circuit debugging of system-on-chips

• SmartRF Flash Programmer: Flash programming of system-on-chips

• SmartRF Studio: RF testing of radio devices (transceivers and SoCs)

• SmartRF Packet Sniffer: Packet sniffing with selected radio devices

• PurePath Wireless Configurator: Programming of CC85xx devices

The debugger operates as the interface between the RF device and the tools listed above. Ensure that the

correct connection is made between the device and CC Debugger before starting to use the tools.

The connection of the device to the CC Debugger is covered in Section 6.
