LAUNCHXL-CC1350: Connection Questions

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1350,

Hi -

I have some questions regarding the CC1350. I have a LAUNCHXL-CC1350, which has the XDS-110 embedded on the board. I have been using SMART RF Studio to control the radios and that is working out well.

When we actually use the CC1350 on our new device, I'd like to not rely on our firmware developer's to make an API for me to interface with the radios. That said, if our product's hardware layout exposes the JTAG pins (JTAG_TDO, JTAG_TDI, JTAG_TMSC, and JTAG_TCKC) to a header can I connect a XDS-110 to those JTAG pins to control the radios via the XDS-110? Are there any other JTAG pins that I will need?

If this can be done, what special considerations do I need to be aware of? Do I need to pull the processor into reset or anything like that?

Additionally, if I can control the radios on our design with an XDS-110, does the SmartRF Studio have a CLI or set of dlls that I can use to allow my test software to control the radios through the XDS-110? If yes, where can I find the documentation on using that CLI or set of dlls?

Thanks.

You also need to connect RESET_N and GND to XDS110. There's no CLI command for SmartRF Studio.

For CLI: Select "Test Environment" from the Tools menu in the upper left corber in SmartRF Studio.

Thanks for noting that I need those two other pins connected as well. What about dlls that I can use? Even if they don't have anything to do with SmartRF Studio, a dll or CLI would be great to make my LabVIEW software talk directly to the radios.

In SmartRF Studio 7 (v 2.6.1) all I see in the Tools drop down is Flash Programmer, Flash Programmer 2, Packet Sniffer, and Smart Test Environment. What is the CLI option?

Have you looked at what the "Smart Test Environment" can do?

I wasn't feeling well yesterday, but now that I take a closer look at what the test envioronment has in it, I think that is what I am looking for. I will start playing around with it!
