cc2538EM without smartRF in ACM-USB?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2538

 Just i got my new CC2538EM (cc2538em alone) , Connected it to my computer through USB(as a power source)

i Believe i connected jumper correctly for USB mode .Checked whether my linux recognized it or through dmesg and lsusb , but could not get recognized (checked even with windows)

First time i am connecting to my computer after i unpacked , I did't connect cc2538EM with any other device before i connect to USB

Do we should program it with SmartRF before connect with USB or is it possible to all the config cc2538EM with USB alone.(Just for information i am trying to progaram cc2538EM with contiki)

I think everything can be done in cc2538EM without any assistance of SmartRF or do we need SmartRF definitely for programming it 

If any other further information needed mention it 

  • No, the SmartRF is required to program the CC2538. It is possible to create a USB bootloader that would enable you to re-image a CC2538 over the USB. However out of the box there is no such boot loader on the device and you need to place it into the SmartRF06 and download a firmware image using XDS100 based JTAG.
