CC2543 Transmit and Receive Example

Hello Prashanth, 

Have you tried using SmartRF studio for communicating between your boards? This is a straight forward way to verify that the hardware is functional. Sample code for CC2543 is available on its product page under tools and software tab.

Hello SVS, 

Thanks for the reply, I have only one CC debugger.  

Is there any other way to try SmartRF with one CC debugger and connect two CC2543 boards ? 

I modified the PER test code to operate in Master beacon mode (text marked in red is what i have changed in the code to operate in master mode) and flashed it to one board and connected the other to SmartRf in packet RX mode, but i did not receive any packets.  freq used : 2402 Mhz , modulation used : GFSK 250kbps 160khz

// Wait for user to press S1 to enter menu.
/* while(halButtonPushed() != HAL_BUTTON_1) {
#if(POWER_SAVING)
halSleepEnterPowerMode(CPU_HALT);
#endif
}*/

#if(POWER_SAVING)
// Interrupt disable on P0.1 (Button1).
P0IEN &= ~BIT1;
// Disable CPU Interrupt for Port 0 (IEN1.P0IE = 1).
P0IE = 0;
#endif

// Query user for operating mode.
// mode = queryMode();
mode = MASTER ;

if(mode == MASTER) {
while(1) {
// Start transmitting beacon packet every 10 ms.
masterBeaconMode();
do {
// Start PER terst in transmit mode.
runCondition = masterTxMode();
} while(runCondition == ACK_COMMAND_RESTART);
}
}

Hello,

According to the last post in this thread, the code for the CC2543(www.ti.com/.../toolssoftware needs to be updated as per the stated bug in the previous post. Please update the code and send me to projects@distronix.in

We have tried with the software files provided in the TI site but failed to get the desired output.

You can download PER test SW from www.ti.com/.../cc2543-cc2544dk

To YiKai Chen,

I don't have the development kit with me so a lot of lcd stuff is needed to be removed from the code segments given. Moreover when I removed the LCD functionalities and tried to implement the core BLE broadcast the debug window was stuck at  the interrupt section. I have attached the screenshot of the debug process where I am stuck right now.

Kindly help me to get through it. 

What CC2543 EVB do you use?

I am currently using the module given in the website :

www.ti.com/.../TIDC-MINI-BLUETOOTH-LOW-ENERGY-BROADCASTER

Hello Aninda,

Use the software developed for the Mini Bluetooth® Low Energy Broadcaster board instead:

CC2543 mini-BLE Broadcaster

Hello Eirik,

The errors I got were from the same sode segments given by you. Need some alternatives for it. You can see the pictures attached for more reference.

Thank you

Aninda Ghosh

Hello Aninda,
What are you trying to achieve? To simply send ble advertisements?
DO you have en exact copy of the TIDC-MINI-BLUETOOTH-LOW-ENERGY-BROADCASTER board?

Dear Eirik,

Yes what I am trying to achieve is to simply transmit BLE advertisements. And yes I have the Exact copy of the board.

Aninda

Hello Aninda,
Then simply use the suggested software (NOT the PER test). and choose the cc2543_weather_station project configuration for the correct board project board configuration. Look at the GenericBroadcaster project.
