How to use cc430 SoC

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC430F5137

I wanted to generate a psuedo noise sequence.  I ordered cc430f5137 from texas instruments. I received an SoC of cc430. I do not know how to connect it to my circuit  ( which is a PCB) or how to program that SoC. Please help how to use it? Or any ideas to generate pn sequence on hardware?

     right this is your goal so why not buy a ready to use Launchpad like 5529 series has all on board chip and in circuit debugger?

     It is not clear you ordered chip or development kit with two board for ISM band?

     Are you also referring to a pcb you developed or the two pcb of kit?

    To program these chip you need a FET adapter it can be buy from TI or Elprotronics.

     In hardware no pseudo noise device is present so you need software to do that.. Why a so odd choice to do this task???

  • Does launchpad have all the functionalities of cc430 ?
    I ordered a chip. (no boards)
    I m referring to pcg i developed.

     No but it is ready to use out of the box and you can test your program.

     Too many variable are on table so radio or processor can be not working, Evaluation kit first time is better than use a so complex device. I suppose your pcb is ok so you need solder al pieces then buy a UIF programmer from TI to load your code.

  • On the product page of the CC430 (see the auto-link in your own post) you can find the CC430 users guide and the device datasheet.
    The CC430 SoC is a combination of an F5xx family MSP microcontroller and a CC series RF peripheral.
    The users guide tells you how to program the controller and its integrated peripherals, the datasheet gives you pinout and electrical data.
    There are some example projects including schematics (e.g. the Chronos watch) where the (very critical) RF part design (BALUN etc.) can be looked at.
    However, what has this to do with pseudo-noise sequence generation? Why did you order a CC430 and not one of the other MSPs? For which, as Roberto mentioned, a number of LaunchPad demo boards (including programmer and some basic support parts like pushbuttons and LEDs) are available?
    If you want to get some hint about how to proceed, you should tell us way more about what exactly you want to do and how you originally planned to do this. Else it is a bit like "I want to cure cancer and bought a microscope and don't know how to proceed"
