EZ430-RF2500: Actual toolchain for ez430-rf2500 with Simpliciti

Part Number: EZ430-RF2500

Hello all,

I´m looking for the actual toolchain for the superb ez430-rf2500. I have extended experience with arduino environments, but when it comes to the TI world it is all new for me.

This is what I want to do:

- Set up an access point with two end devices

- Each end device has an attached I2C sensor

- As the hardware I2C pins are already used by the C2500, I2C is a little bit more complicated

- Therefore I want to use the software I2C as mentioned in the SLAA703  - what a cool idea!

- If I could evolve in programming the devices, I´d also like to insert bidirectional communication (e.g. for parametrization)

This is my setup so far:

- SImpliciti 1.2.0 stack (for IAR)

- Latest IAR embedded Workbench 7.10.3

- Created a project for Data Hub for the ez430-rf2500

- Downloaded the example code for the Slaa703

These are my challenges yet:

- The ez430 USB programmer dongle doesn´t start (it says "Interface dll version 2.4.9.1" and "Invalid parameter(s) : (Configure) , mode=0xe, value=0",)

--> Where can I find some information about to handle this problem (then I´d be able to download code...)

- The code example defines some "stdint.h", which doesn´t go along with the simpliciti´s "bsp_msp430_defs.h", if  I use the "stdint.h", I have to link to the dlib library (clib library should be deprecated as I read)

--> how can I resolve this definition conflict?

I hope the forum can give me some help, because it seems I´m lost in the deep black hole of compiler language and so on. :)

Regards

Muku

  • Hello Muku,

    Start with trying to program the ez430-rf2500 using the example code. Is the error that you're seeing in IAR? I would recommend following the instructions found in the eZ430-RF2500 Development Tool User's Guide and get the code example working.

    While it's very good that you have an idea about what you want to design at a high level, I think it will help your development if you break it down into small steps. Then, it's typically easier to find issues that way!

    Hope this helps!
