Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-TS430PM64, CC2500, MSP430F2618

I am using MSP-ts430pm64 board and I want to interface it with CC2500 using code composer studio .
How can I  do it?

    So what is your problem?

    Do you want to knwo how to connect the CC2500 to the board? Or how to connect the board with the PC so you can program it with CCS? or how to writ ethe code for the MSP on the board, so it accesses the CC2500?

    Theboard is for use with the F14x and F41x devices. Which one do you have? (depending on which one you use, two jumper resistors have to be removed and two have to be soldered).

    The board is connected to the PC using a FET, typically the MSP-FETU430IF USB programmer.

    For connecting the CC2500, well, that's up to you to decicde which features you need  or whant. The basic data connection is 3-wire SPI. Example code about how to use SPI are available.
    Also, you may want to take a look at the demo code for the EZ430-RF2500 demo board. However, the low-level SPI will be different for the F14x,a s it has an USART module and no USCI module.

    I have MSP430F2618 mcu.

    and yes I want to know how to connect it to cc2500 2g4 interface board and also how to write the program.
    I have FET USB programmer .

    Thank you

    You should have the schematics. So connect VCC, GND, link the SPI signals to the appropriate pins on the MSP (you don't have too many choices where the pin functions list the SPI signals of the 2618s USCI.

    However, the MSP-ts430pm64 board is not officially meant for the 2618. At least not according to the schematics I have. Even though it looks like it could work.

    Well, I already pointed you to the EZ430-RF2500 target board which also uses the CC2500 for RF transmissions.
