LAUNCHXL-CC1352P: PropietaryRF is the modern equivalent of the BasicRF

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC1352P

I have some firmware written with BasicRF concepts... my understanding is that the BasicRF is a radio protocol that has expired... is the PropietaryRF the modern version...? Could the PropietaryRF interact with BasicRF? 

Let's supose that my modern tag must interact with an old base that uses BasicRF, would PropietaryRF interact with the BasicRF?

Thank you again. See you later.

  • Unfortunately, I am not familiar with BasicRF, but the way the CC13x2 devices works is that you have different API available.

    You have BLE command/API that works together with the BLE PHY and IEEE commands/API that works with for example Zigbee.

    When customers want to use for example BLE or Zigbee, they write their application on top of the stack, and it is the stack that uses the API commands.

    For proprietary stuff (everything that is not a standard) you have the Prop commands/API.

    Here the customers, in many cases, access these API commands directly from their application.

    We also have stacks, for example the TI-15.4 stack, that uses the prop API.

    Customers can off course write their own application that uses the IEEE and/or BLE API directly in the applications (instead of using our stack), but we do not provide any code examples for this.

    For the Prop. API the rfPacketRX and rfPacket TX are the best examples to start with.

    Please not that you cannot mix and match PHYs and APIs as you want to.

    For example, the OQPSK settings used in zigbee should only be used by the IEEE API.

    In SmartRF Studio you can open a device in one of 3 modes (BLE, IEEE, PROP). Then you will see what PHYs/settings goes with which API.

    To answer if Prop. can interact with BasicRF , you need to provide info about all relevant RF paramters (freq, data rate, RX BW, deviation, modulation format etc.), and packet format.
