EZ430-RF2500 and SimpliciTI with CCS

So I figured some things out and I can now compile my code.  But I can't get the code to work as I want it to.  First I'll state for others what I did to get it to compile.  Then I'll ask my question.

First what I did to get it to compile:

First copied the Configuration folder from: C:\Texas Instruments\SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1\Projects\Examples\eZ430RF\Simple_Peer_to_Peer\CCS and pasted it into my project folder (Wireless_Transmitter_Control) which is in my workspace folder.

In CCS:

Added a folder to the project titled Components, with sub-folders bsp and mrfi

With in each sub-folder I linked to files that were installed with simpliciTI.  I installed to the default place so these linked files were:

for the sub-folder bsp:

C:\Texas Instruments\SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1\Components\bsp\bsp.c

C:\Texas Instruments\SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1\Components\bsp\bsp.h

C:\Texas Instruments\SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1\Components\bsp\bsp_macros.h

and for the subfolder mrfi:

C:\Texas Instruments\SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1\Components\mrfi\mrfi.c

C:\Texas Instruments\SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1\Components\mrfi\mrfi.h

C:\Texas Instruments\SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1\Components\mrfi\mrfi_defs.h

Then in under Project -> properties -> C/C++ Build -> MSP430Compiler -> Predefined Symbols -> Predefine Name

I added the MRFI_CC2500 (in addition to the already present _MSP430F2274_

Then under  Project -> properties -> C/C++ Build -> MSP430Compiler -> Include Options

I added the following paths:

C:\Texas Instruments\SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1\Components\mrfi

C:\Texas Instruments\SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1\Components\bsp

C:\Texas Instruments\SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1\Components\bsp\boards\EZ430RF

C:\Texas Instruments\SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1\Components\bsp\drivers

Then under Project -> properties -> C/C++ Build -> MSP430Compiler -> Command files

I added the command files I copied into my project form the peer to peer example, so for me the paths were:

"${workspace_loc:/Wireless_Transmitter_Control/Configuration/smpl_nwk_config.dat}"

"${workspace_loc:/Wireless_Transmitter_Control/Configuration/End_Device/smpl_config.dat}"

Once I did all that I could get my code to compile.  It's very simple code, that I copied from a tutorial from a class taught at UC Berkeley (http://wsn.eecs.berkeley.edu/290Q/)

Following the tutorial, I can get the code to compile and run correctly in IAR, so I know it's not the algorithm.

The code is:

#include "mrfi.h"

#include "radios/family1/mrfi_spi.h"

int main(void)

{

  BSP_Init();

  P1DIR &= ~0x04;

  P1REN |=  0x04;

  P1OUT |=  0x04;

  P1IE  |=  0x04;

  MRFI_Init();

  MRFI_WakeUp();

  MRFI_RxOn();

  mrfiSpiWriteReg(CHANNR,0x10);

  __bis_SR_register(GIE+LPM4_bits);

}

void MRFI_RxCompleteISR()

{

  P1OUT ^= 0x02;

}

#pragma vector=PORT1_VECTOR

__interrupt void Port_1 (void)

{

  P1IFG &= ~0x04;

  mrfiPacket_t packet;

  packet.frame[0]=8+20;

  MRFI_Transmit(&packet, MRFI_TX_TYPE_FORCED);

  P1OUT ^= 0x01;

}

The interupt for pushing the button works, and the LED toggels.  However nothing to do with the radio works.  I can verify that because I keep one of the EZ430-RF2500 boards programed by the IAR and the one programmed by CCS neither sends packets nor receives them.

The only thing I can think of is that I'm not initializing something, or something is wrong in the command files, which I don't understand at all.

Hi, 

Did you finally got your configuration or initialization working? I have the same issue and I don't know what to do.

Thanks
