How to run SimpliciTI on MSP430f5529 USB Experimenter's Board + CC2500EMK

Hi guys,

I am working on a base station that receives data from an end device using simpliciTI. The information will be handled to a PC via USB. So far I have used the MSP430FG4618 experimenter's board as end device along with the CC2500EMK. The original base station is another MSP430FG4618 experimenter's board + CC2500EMK. The data is sent properly and now want to dump it into a virtual COM port on a PC.

I am trying to implement the base station on the MSP430f5529 USB Experimenter's Board to take advantage of the USB capabilities of the F5529. I want to have SimpliciTI (also using the CC2500EMK) on the MSP430f5529 USB Experimenter's Board to communicate with my end device but it seems that the stack is not available for this board (at least on SimpliciTI V1.1.1).

Can you tell me what do I need to modify on the BSP folder to get simpliciTI working on the MSP430f5529 USB Experimenter's Board?

Thanks,

Efrain

Efrain,

there is already a SimpliciTI port available for the MSP430F5529 which can be found here:

Leo,

Thanks for the info. On the meantime I got it to work modifying the BSP file based on the project posted on http://e2e.ti.com/support/low_power_rf/f/156/p/126946/1015220.aspx#1015220 where SimpliciTI is implemented on the EZ430-RF2500. I just had to look on the board connections for the RF headers and modify accordingly. I got it to work with simpliciTI 1.1.1 but will definitely update to V1.1,1_5 and will let you know how it works.

Best,

Efrain

Leo,

I was checking mrfi_board_def.h for the F5529 and noticed that GDO2 is mapped to P2.1 while in the actual board GD02 is connected to P2.4. Nevertheless for the EZ430 RF header P2.1 connects to GDO2,

This makes sense when using the EZ430 RF but why is GDO2 mapped to P2.1 on mrfi_board_def.h if it is connected to P2.4?

Thanks,

Efrain
