Radio Tool 1.1_fix is now available

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200, CC3100

Radio Tool version 1.1_fix is now available for download.

The primary change in this version is fixing the CW (Carrier Wave) generation in TX mode.

A bug in SDK 1.1.0 is causing the Carrier Wave(CW) to malfunction. In general, you'll experience the following problem when using RadioTool 1.1:

  • Cannot stop CW after starting CW TX
  • Cannot change CW tone'''

This is partially fixed in version 1.1_fix. For CC3100, the fix is already incorporated in the source code and binary. For CC3200, only the provided binary file has this fix applied because this requires the user to modify the simplelink\source\driver.c source file as provided in the SDK. If you are using the provided cc3200 binary, no action is required from your end.

If you need to compile your own radio tool binary file with the corrected CW mode functionality, please incorporate the following change:
In line 805 of simplelink\source\driver.c, please change from:

if (pCmdExt && pCmdExt->RxPayloadLen < 0 && pCmdExt->TxPayloadLen)

to:

if (pCmdExt && pCmdExt->RxPayloadLen < 0)


Please note that this change is only for fixing the CW issue for radio tool (or transceiver mode). If your application does not utilize this functionality, please change it back to default as we are not certain on the side effect of this change outside of radio tool context.
