CC2511 Dongle 4 Connecting CC2511 Dongle to SmartRF04EB. Please see the “CC2430DK_CC2510_CC1110_User_Manual” for more information on the SmartRF04EB and how to use the CC2510EM. Make sure to install SmartRF® Studio before connecting the SmartRF04EB to a PC. SmartRF® Studio can be downloaded from the www.chipcon.com or www.ti.com/lpw The CC2511 have a 2 wire debug interface that is used for chip programming and debugging.
CC2511 Dongle Figure 1 CC2511 Dongle powered from USB cable Figure 2 CC2511 Dongle powered from SmartRF04EB 6. Turn on the power on the SmartRF04EB. See Figure 3. Figure 3: SmartRF04EB Power switch, power on. The CC2511 can now be programmed with the Chipcon Flash Programmer software. The firmware on the CC2511 can also be debugged using the IAR embedded workbench debugger. Please see the IAR user manual and the Chipcon Flash Programmer user manual for more details.
CC2511 Dongle 5 Using SmartRF04EB as an In-Circuit Emulator (ICE) The SmartRF04EB can be used as ICE for the CC2511 To use the SmartRF04EB as ICE, the IAR Embedded Workbench software must be installed. The Embedded Workbench is a C-Compiler, Simulator, and ICE debugger. See the IAR Embedded Workbench documentation supplied with the kit for instructions how to set up the ICE debugger for use as an ICE.

Figure 5: SmartRF04EB debug connector for debugging CC2511 Dongle / other external target systems 5.1 Debugging USB firmware When writing and debugging USB firmware one should remember that when Windows (or another OS) detects a USB device it will assume that it works in accordance with the USB specification.
CC2511 Dongle 5.2 Known problems When using the debug interface through the level-converter on the SmartRf04EB. (Shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2) it might become unstable. This problem is more likely to occur a low voltages or with crosstalk in the cable at high interface speed. First make sure that the 10 pin flat cable used to connect the CC2511 USB Dongle to the SmartRF04EB is as short as possible. Next it might be necessary to reduce the debug interface speed in order to achieve stable operation.
CC2511 Dongle 6 CC2511 application examples This section describes the application examples available for the CC2511. These application examples focus on how to use the USB on the CC2511. The examples is available both as source code and ready-to-upload .hex files from the Chipcon website. There are three CC2511 application examples. • Wireless mouse / practical joke. • Wireless USB to Serial port converter. • Wireless WinAmp remote control.
CC2511 Dongle 6.1 Wireless mouse / practical joke This application demonstrates the use of the CC2511Dongle as a USB composite HID (Human Interface Device), with both keyboard and mouse. The application will work on most operating systems. This application example uses the USB framework found in the CC2511 firmware library to setup the USB on the CC2511 Dongle and to handle all USB standard requests. In addition the Class requests required by the HID device class are implemented in a separate file.
CC2511 Dongle 6.2 Wireless USB to Serial port converter This application example is a wireless USB to serial port (RS232) converter. It creates a virtual serial port in Windows. Data sent to this virtual serial port will be sent to the CC2511 Dongle over USB, then to CC2510 EM over radio and finally out on the serial port on the CC2510 EM / SmartRF04EB. Data sent to the serial port on the SmartRF04EB will be transferred to the virtual serial port in Windows.
CC2511 Dongle When Windows have finished installing the device, a new serial port will appear in the device manager in Windows. See Figure 9. Figure 9: Virtual serial port in Windows Device manager The Windows driver will only work if the “Ti Wireless USB to Serial” is assigned to COM1 to COM9. (In Figure 9 it is assigned to COM6) If there are many COM ports installed on the PC, Windows may chose to assign it to a number higher than 9. If that happens it must be changed.
CC2511 Dongle 6.3 Wireless WinAmp remote control This application example is a wireless remote control for WinAmp media player. It is a twoway remote, which display the song information of the song played on the LCD screen on the SmartRF04EB. The communication between the CC2511 Dongle and WinAmp is handled by a custom WinAmp plug-in. Hence this remote control will work with WinAmp only.
CC2511 Dongle 8. If windows ask for the file “cudal.sys” or “cudal98.sys”, point to “cudal.sys” or “cudal98.sys”. 9. Turn on the CC2510EM / SmartRF04EB. 10. The USB dongle may have to be removed and reinserted once to the PC for the application to work. 6.3.3 Running the application 1. Start WinAmp, the gen_chipcon_remote plug-in will automatically be loaded. 2. Make sure the CC2510 USB Dongle is plugged into a USB port on the PC. 3. Turn on the SmartRF04EB development card, with the CC2510EM.
CC2511 Dongle 7 USB development framework A versatile, efficient and easy to use USB development framework is available for the CC2511. The intension with this framework is to make USB development as quick and easy as possible. The framework includes a firmware framework for the embedded software on the CC2511, and a Windows USB driver framework. In addition there is general example code and libraries available showing how to use the CC2510 and CC2511 MCU, radio and other peripherals. 7.
CC2511 Dongle As shown in Figure 10 the USB library is divided into five modules: The USB Framework (usbfw) contains all USB status information and functions for initialization, device reset handling, and transfers on endpoint 0. It also contains basic macros and functions for endpoint control and FIFO access. Vendor and class requests are passed up to the application, and standard requests further down for internal processing.
CC2511 Dongle The complete documentation of the CUDAL framework is available in a compressed HTML file, “cudal.chm”, found in “CC2511DK\pc_sw\CUDAL\doc” 7.2.1 Windows USB driver license The Windows USB driver framework CUDAL is based on the USBIO driver from Thesycon. This driver is not free and requires a licence. Texas Instruments have a license that allows its customers to do the following: • Use the application examples included in the kit.

The LED is connected to pin P1_1. Setting P1_1 high (to logic 1) will turn the led on.
CC2511 Dongle 8.3 Debug connector The CC2511 Dongle has debug connector (P3) that is compatible with the SoC debug connector on the SmartRF04EB. This enables the CC2511 Dongle to be programmed and debugged via the SmartRF04EB. The debug connector and the test pins on the CC2511 Dongle can be removed to reduce its size. If that is done, programming and debugging can still be done using the connector on the back of the CC2511 Dongle (P5). The pin-out of the debug connector (P3) is given in Table 2.
