10. RX: Observe PER
The PER test receiver will display the
PER value (number of lost and
erroneous packets divided by the
number of packets sent, displayed as a
fraction of 1000).
The receiver will also display the number
of received packets and a moving
average RSSI value based on the last 32
packets.
By pressing button 1, all counters on the
receiver will be reset and the receiver will
restart the PER calculations.
11. SmartRF Studio
After running the PER test, the next
recommended step is to install SmartRF
Studio and to connect the evaluation
board to the PC.
When installing SmartRF Studio, you will
also install the USB drivers required for
the SmartRF05EB board.
SmartRF Studio can be used for RF
testing and evaluation of C2530.
SmartRF Studio can be downloaded from
www.ti.com/smartrfstudio
12. Flash Programmer
Texas Instruments has a simple tool which can
be used to program the flash on the CC2530.
The Flash Programmer application, available
on the kit web page [2], can be used to
program Intel HEX files, read the contents of
flash and several other operations.
Programming of a CC2530 can be done
through the SmartRF05EB.
Production programming tools are available
from TI’s developer network [4].
13. IAR Embedded Workbench
To develop software, program and
debug the CC2530, you should use IAR
Embedded Workbench for 8051.
A free evaluation version of IAR EW8051
is included in the kit. A free, code size
limited version can be downloaded from
the web. See www.iar.com/ew8051.
14. Packet Sniffer
In order to debug RF protocols, it is
possible to use TI’s SmartRF Packet
Sniffer.
You can use the CC2531 USB dongle or
the SmartRF05EB with a CC2530EM to
capture the packets.
15. Thank You!
We hope you will enjoy working with the
CC2530 and associated Low-Power RF
products from Texas Instruments.
