Where does the simple link example runs?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1120

First announce that I am a novice.

I have a MSP EXP430G2 launchpad and connects with CC1120. I try to run the official examples, but where does the program runs? Does it runs on CC1120 or on the msp430 MCU?

    If you look at the CC1120 datasheet/ Userguide you will see that this chip does not contain a MCU core and that to control the chip, SPI commands have to be sent.

    Hence to use CC1120 in a system the user has to develop a program running on a MCU where part of the program needs to be SPI read/ write to CC1120.

    Thank you, TER! You have solved my long-time confusion.
