7. Packet Sniffer (1)
Launch the Packet Sniffer. A dialog will
request the user to select a protocol.
The CC2511 capture device can be
used with the SimpliciTI or the Generic
(no parsing) protocols. A new window
will appear.
The USB dongle should be listed with
chip type CC2511 and EB type
CC2511 USB dongle in the “Capturing
Device” tab.
Highlight the device to make it your
capture device.
8. Packet Sniffer (2)
Next, select the Radio Configuration
tab and make sure the radio registers
on the device are set according to the
format of the radio signals you are
sniffing.
If this is the first time you use the
tool, press the browse button to
locate a .prs file with packet sniffer
register settings for CC2511.
You can generate your own .prs files
with the “Register Export” function in
SmartRF Studio
9. Packet Sniffer (3)
Finally, press the small “play” icon
on the tool bar to start sniffing
packets.
If there are radio packets on the
air, and the CC2511 has the
appropriate radio settings, the
captured packets will be displayed
in the packet sniffer display
window.
Enjoy!
10. Developing USB Software
A good start for developing your own
USB application for the CC2511 USB
dongle would be the “CC USB
Firmware Library and Examples”
software package.
The Library contains a complete USB
framework that allows the user to
develop any USB device type.
Examples showing implementations of
a HID device and a CDC device are
included.
The software can be downloaded from
the CC2511EMK web page or directly
from
www.ti.com/lit/zip/swrc088
11. Development Tools
The preferred tool for developing
software for CC2511 and for single
stepping and debugging is IAR
Embedded Workbench for 8051.
A free, code size limited version can
be downloaded from the web. See
www.iar.com/ew8051
12. Thank You!
We hope you will enjoy working
