SimpliciTI version 1.2.0 is available now at www.ti.com/simpliciti.
The major driving force behind this version includes support for Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) development. FHSS is supported via a new network application PLL (nwk_pll) which, when enabled, manages a coherent clock system across the entire network. Utilizing this allows for generating a coherent channel changing schedule required for implementation of FHSS systems.
Additionally, a UART Bridge sample application has been added. This application shows a simple wireless UART interface between two RS232 interfaces. Included with this project is a simple UART driver for use on both the 8051 and MSP430 systems. This driver is identical to the one in design note DN117 with added support for additional radios and MCU's.
All sample application projects have been expanded to support the full set of radios capable on each platform. This should speed the process of starting development for projects which can be based on one of the samples.
Several bug fixes have been implemented. Most notably would be the addition of a time out mechanism in the transmit while loops. This eliminates the occasional hang seen during transmit operations. See the release notes included with the distribution

Hi Jim,
The link to download the 1.2.0 version seems to be broken. I end up at a "Sorry, we couldn't find your page" page.
Thanks,
Barry
Of course it is! Grrrr... Nothing is ever easy, right? I'll look into it and get back to you.
When do you expect the CCS version to be available? And does the IAR version support cc430?

We are working to get the CCS version out as soon as possible. I don't have a hard date but we are shooting for mid first quarter 2012.
Yes, the IAR version supports the CC430.
Did you manage to resolve the issue with regard to downloading the latest simpliciti.. i.e the link is broken or unavailable

Unfortunately the people needed to correct the problem are already on vacation for the US Thanksgiving holiday and won't be back until Monday.
I thought about removing the post but then everyone who was notified of the original would not find it but leaving it seems a little like teasing the community. Either way leaves something to be desired.
My apologies for any inconvienence,
Hello
I am a student.
And currently i am working on a project based on ez430 Chronos watch.
I wanted to know that using SimpliciTI Rf Protocol a packet of how many bytes can i transfer at a time?
I have observed that Chronos control center sends packets of 3/4/7/22/24 byte depending upon various functions used.
I am not an Electronics Engineering student so i have almost nill knowledge on rf communication.
Please help me.
Thank you
Manan
I'm having the same problem... the download link for SimpliciTI-IAR-1.2.0.exe seems broken....

Hi Manan,
Im no Moderator here but please create a new thread if you have an offtopic question. This is not the appropriate thread for asking general Simpliciti questions.
Anyways the maximum number of bytes that you add as payload to a packet are defined by MAX_APP_PAYLOAD in the smpl_nwk_config.dat file. All messages that got a longer payload than that are just discarded and not sent. So this is the limit for your messages. SimpliciTi itself is limited to the size of the Radio FIFO which is 64 bytes for the whole packet(incl. address,length and so on). It is limited to this size because imho it expects a complete packet by the RX ISR and cannot handle split packets, same applies for TX.
The hardware itself is limited to packets of up to 255 bytes.
Yes, it is still broken. I'm still working the issue. I'll post as soon as it is corrected.
The download link for IAR SimpliciTI does not seem to be working. Can you send me the file directly?
As much as I would like to provide an ftp drop for this package, I am bound by some minor legalities which preclude me from doing so.
There are peoople still working on getting the link fixed. As simple as it that task seems to be, it has yet to be achieved.

I got a copy from a contact at TI. Thank you

That makes it all the more frustrating for the rest of us that have been waiting almost 2 weeks since the announcement that the download was available :-)
