EZ430-RF2500 and SimpliciTI with CCS

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SIMPLICITI, CC2500

 

I can't find any documentation on how to use the SimpliciTI functions in code composer, by starting a project from scratch.

 

Can you either explain how to do this, or point me to some documentation/tutorial that can?

 

What I've tried so far:

 

Downloaded SimpliciTI and it's in: C:\Texas Instruments

Added a linked folder to: C:\Texas Instruments\SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1\Components

Under project properties, under pre-defined symbols added: MRFI_CC2500

Under project properties, under include options I added the paths:

"C:\Texas Instruments\SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1\Components\simpliciti\nwk"

"C:\Texas Instruments\SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1\Components\simpliciti\nwk_applications"

"C:\Texas Instruments\SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1\Components\mrfi"

"C:\Texas Instruments\SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1\Components\bsp"

"C:\Texas Instruments\SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1\Components\bsp\boards\EZ430RF"

"C:\Texas Instruments\SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1\Components\bsp\drivers"

Coded In main.c: 

#include "bsp.h"

#inc lude "mrfi.h"

#include "nwk_types.h"

#include "nwk_api.h"

#include "bsp_leds.h"

#include "bsp_buttons.h"

 

My Results:

It doesn't compile and gives 130 errors.  

 

Obviously I'm missing some key points.  On how to integrate SimpliciTI into a program for the EZ430 using CCS

 

(I am using CCS Version: 4.2.3.00004 )

    I would recommend starting with importing one or more of the example projects into CCS, getting them to build and run first. Then you may use the example as a starting point to build your own application, by adding/removing/modifying source files as needed. For this, I would suggest making a copy of the SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1 folder in a different location, then import and modify the project from there.

    The SimpliciTI Sample Application User's Guide in the \Documents folder walks through the process of importing and building the example projects. If you have specific questions on which minimum set of files are required when creating a new application, please post that to the MSP430 forum.

    Thanks for the suggestion.  However, I don't just want to get a program to work, I want to know how it's working.  I want to be able to start it from scratch.  I want to know what I need to do in CCS to make the SimpliciTI routines compile with my code.  I can do it in IAR as there are some tutorials online showing how to do that.  Do you, or anyone else, know how to do this in CCS?

    Grant,

    I'm not aware of tutorials or step-by-step guides for creating a SimpliciTI application from scratch. You may want to post the question to the MSP430 forum as they may be able to provide additional help there.
