Development tool for packet sniffing with a cc430f6137 chip

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC430F6137, SIMPLICITI

Which a development tools can I use as a packet sniffer (my own protocol) with a cc430f6137 chip? I want to use Smart Rf Packet Sniffer. I also have an eZ430-Chronos Development Tool, there is an USB access point in this kit, but it is impossible to use it as packet sniffer with Smart Rf Packet Sniffer.

    Tankist, 

    The CC430x series of devices is supported by SmartRF Studio thru the little FET debuggers (grey boxes). Basically, if you can program the CC430 from IAR then you can use the same hardware setup to run SmartRF Studio with. (SmartRF Studio is not the exact same as Packet Sniffer, but it will let you sniff packets over the air)

    Regards,

    Sorry, but I ment a hardware devices (an USB dongle or a some development board) which support a packet sniffing at 433 MHz with a Smart Rf Packet Sniffer

    The packet sniffer application lists all the units it is compatible with when you run it initially. Once you pick one of the supported setups you then use SmartRF Studion to build a packet sniffer configuration file based on the smartRF Studio settings used for your target board. If you open up smartRF studio and turn on the register view, you will see the register export button. The register export has a packet sniffer setting export option.

    The only problem I had was that SimpliciTI 1.1.1 did not have any valid smartRF studio configuration files for the mrfi files that were supplied. The .srfs files in the mrfi/smartfr/[radio] directory would not load into smartRF studio 7 (version 1.8.0). So I had to enter all the register settings into smartRF studio by hand before I could create the packet sniffer configuration.

    Timothy Barr, thanks. I would try to use the SmartRF05 evaluation board with the CC1110 evaluation module. I do not need to use a SimpliciTI protocol, I want to use the sniffer in generic mode (I want to use my own protocol).
