SMARTRFTM-STUDIO: Programming on CC13xx using smart rf TM studio

Part Number: SMARTRFTM-STUDIO
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1310

I am trying to program the RF radio settings (TxPower) for my CC1310 module. The Technical documents asks me to use SmartRF Studio to program it. But I am not able to find instructions on how I may transfer my settings from SmartRF Studio --> CC1310 module

technical document reference:

In Contiki Directory - /cpu/cc26xx-cc13xx/rf- core
prop-mode.h:53:  uint16_t tx_power; /* Value for the PROP_DIV_RADIO_SETUP.txPower field */
prop-mode.c:395:  smartrf_settings_cmd_prop_radio_div_setup.txPower = tx_power_current ->  tx_power;

  • You can use the Code Export Feature in SmartRF Studio.

    A code export of the 50 kbps settings will give you the following:

    RF_cmdPropRadioDivSetup.txPower = 0xA73F, which will give you an output power of 14 dBm given that CCFG_FORCE_VDDR_HH = 1 in ccfg.c

    Changing the output power in SmartRf Studio to for example 5 dBm, will give you:

    RF_cmdPropRadioDivSetup.txPower = 0x18C6
