• Transmit at least 345 bytes (600 - 255), for
example by filling the 64-byte TX FIFO six
times (384 bytes transmitted).
• Set PKTCTRL0.LENGTH_CONFIG=0.
• The transmission ends when the packet
counter reaches 88. A total of 600 bytes
are transmitted.

15.3 Packet Filtering in Receive Mode
CC1101 supports three different types of
packet-filtering; address filtering, maximum
length filtering, and CRC filtering.
15.3.1 Address Filtering
Setting PKTCTRL1.ADR_CHK to any other
value than zero enables the packet address
filter. The packet handler engine will compare
the destination address byte in the packet with
the programmed node address in the ADDR
register and the 0x00 broadcast address when
PKTCTRL1.ADR_CHK=10 or both 0x00 and
0xFF broadcast addresses when
PKTCTRL1.ADR_CHK=11. If the received
address matches a valid address, the packet is
received and written into the RX FIFO. If the
address match fails, the packet is discarded
and receive mode restarted (regardless of the
MCSM1.RXOFF_MODE setting).
If the received address matches a valid
address when using infinite packet length
mode and address filtering is enabled, 0xFF
will be written into the RX FIFO followed by the
address byte and then the payload data.
15.3.2 Maximum Length Filtering
In variable packet length mode,
PKTCTRL0.LENGTH_CONFIG=1, the
PKTLEN.PACKET_LENGTH register value is
used to set the maximum allowed packet
length. If the received length byte has a larger
value than this, the packet is discarded and
receive mode restarted (regardless of the
MCSM1.RXOFF_MODE setting).
15.3.3 CRC Filtering
The filtering of a packet when CRC check fails
is enabled by setting
PKTCTRL1.CRC_AUTOFLUSH=1. The CRC
auto flush function will flush the entire RX
FIFO if the CRC check fails. After auto flushing
the RX FIFO, the next state depends on the
MCSM1.RXOFF_MODE setting.
When using the auto flush function, the
maximum packet length is 63 bytes in variable
packet length mode and 64 bytes in fixed
packet length mode. Note that the maximum
allowed packet length is reduced by two bytes
when PKTCTRL1.APPEND_STATUS is
enabled, to make room in the RX FIFO for the
two status bytes appended at the end of the
packet. Since the entire RX FIFO is flushed
when the CRC check fails, the previously
received packet must be read out of the FIFO
before receiving the current packet. The MCU
must not read from the current packet until the
CRC has been checked as OK.
15.4 Packet Handling in Transmit Mode
The payload that is to be transmitted must be
written into the TX FIFO. The first byte written
must be the length byte when variable packet
length is enabled. The length byte has a value
equal to the payload of the packet (including
