smart rf studio 7 shut down

Hello.

I'm using smart rf studio 7 with a windows 7 computer.

After few minutes receiving pakets , my computer displays a message to close the working window, an I must restart the rx window, and reset parameters to use again smart rf studio 7.

Have you got a solution for me, to avoid this shutdown of smartrf studio after few minutes?

Best regards.

Benoît.

  • Hi Benoit,

    This is indeed not how it should be. Could you tell a bit more about the version of SmartRF Studio and the device and settings that you are using. This makes debugging a bit easier.

  • Hi Oyvind,

    I'm using Smart rf studio 1.16.0.

    My two evaluation boards are : smart rf  trxeb pcb rev 1.7 with cc1120dk_em_420_470 rev1.1.0

    One evaluation board is running connected by SPI  with a personnal prototype board with pic microcontroller sending 2 pakets / second, with 5 data bytes in each packet.

    The second eval board is in expert mode, packet RX, 434.07 Mhz, 2FSK, 1.2kbps, 32Mhz xtal.

    It runs good, receive and display packets during a few minutes, and after, there is a shutdown, I don't know why, and I mus restart the demo board and all the parameters, and I loose a lot of  time... Can you help me?

    I can work like that, but it is very unconfortable...

    Regards.

    Benoît

  • The bad news is that I don't have a solution yet. The good news is that I get the same behaviour as you. That means I have good hopes to find a solution. The default packet length (30 bytes) did not give this behaviour so I could only see it when sending 5 bytes. I will let you know when I have some news.

  • Hi Benoit,

    Attached you will find a patch that should solve the problem you have seen. The zip file contains some files that should replace the existing files of the installed SmartRF Studio. Remember to install the latest version of SmartRF Studio 7 first. Currently this is version 1.16.1.

    I did some testing of the solution and could not recreate the problem. Hopefully you will see the same.

  • Thank you for all.

    My design is almost finished, so I can't find the necessary time to install the patch.  But when I will find this time, I'll try to install this patch, and I'll tell you  the result.

    Best regards.

    Benoît.
