CC2540EMK-USB: Programming dongle with SmartRF05EB

Vladimir Pavlenko

Part Number: CC2540EMK-USB

Hello!

Please direct me to the document describing how to connect CC2540Dongle (USB) to SmartRF05EB to flash different firmware to 2540. Have looked through dozen of docs without success, turned out to be not so simple to find. Do I need any special cable to do it? Should it be included with SmartRF05 board?

Thanks!

I found such a cable that was included in EB set, is this right one (please see picture, I plugged it in the P3 block)? Now, if this is correct, how do I detect where is pin 1 on the dongle? How should the red wire on the cable be oriented here?

You can try both and see which one works.

Thank you, didn't notice that this leaf has exactly needed picture :)! Did I get it right that red wire should be on the farther side from USB connector of the dongle?

Was kind of scary to burn the thing out :). Everything works fine, thank you!

Don't worry. It won't burn out anything.

You might need to apply power to the USB dongle also (by default it is not provided by the debug header on the SmartRF05EB).

Cheers,
Fredrik
