CC1310 How to monitor received packet

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1310, CC2650

Hello, 

I have loaded simple link RX in launchpad 1 and TX in launchpad 2.

How can I monitor reception of packet in launchpad 2 ? 

When I try to turn on SmartRF Studio it tells me I have to update firmware ?! What I am doing wrong ?

  • Hi,

    When it says, you have to Upgrade the Firmware then Click on the Upgrade Button then it will automatically do the upgrade and afterwards it recognizes the chip as CC1310. Double Click on CC1310 and it opens up Control panel window.

    First you can try the link (TX--> Rx) with SmartRF Studio.

    Check RF Parameters Button in SmartRF Studio.

    Put one Module in Tx ( Packet Tx), Check Packet count to Infinite mode . By default it loads with 50KBPS data rate at 868MHz. If you want you can change the freq to 915MHz for example. Press Start button

    Put the other module in Rx (Packet Rx), make sure Freq is the same as with the Tx freq and press Start button. You should see Receive packets in the Window.

    Thanks,

  • Hello

    Thank you for your answer.

    I success to use SMART RF Studio for sending packet and receiving using the continuous mode. Now what I am trying to do is to send a triggering sgnal from TX to RX so RX can generate an interrupt at reception of this signal.

    How would you process to perform this and how can I monitor this ?

    Thanks in advance for your time.

    Regards

  • Hi PM,

    Good Day. i am following the same you explained in the above tag. but i am not receiving any packets. Here my board is not Launchpad, it is our customized boards.

    the same hardware i used for CC2650 by replacing the CC1310 to CC2650 to test the BLE and 802.15.4 communication , it was working fine.
    can you please let me know what mistake i am doing ?

    appreciate your quick response.

  • Cindy: Take a look at the examples we have in TI-RTOS. What you ask about is a bit outside what SmartRF Studio is targeting

    RameshG: Your description of your hardware is not clear. Have you done some conducted tests to see if your hardware is capable of transmitting/ receiving?

    What sort of antenna do you use?
  • Hi TER,

    My hardware is designed with CC1310 chipset based on sensor tag reference .infact we used same hardware for cc1310 and cc2650. The antenna we used is same as sensor tag pcb antenna .

    Btw , what is mean by conducted tests ts ?

    Can you plz provide me some info on it .

  • Conducted: That you connect a spectrum analyser directly to the SMA connector on the board. The measurement is done over a conducting wire (to put it a bit simplified) compared to radiated where you pick up the signal over the air.

    CC1310 operate on a different frequency than CC2650. If you use the same antenna on both frequencies the antenna efficiency on one of the frequencies will be very poor.
