CC1101: How to import an XML with CC1101 register settings back into SmartRF Studio?

Andrew Buckin

Part Number: CC1101

Tool/software:

Hello,

I have a set of CC1101 register values that I extracted from my C++ code (radio channel settings, power, frequency, etc.).

I converted these values into an XML file similar to the one SmartRF Studio exports.

Now I’d like to do the reverse — import this XML back into SmartRF Studio, so I can view and possibly fine-tune the configuration within the tool.

The problem is: I can’t find any option in SmartRF Studio 7 to import an XML file.

Is there a way to add my custom XML configuration file (for example, by placing it in the devices/cc1101 or configurations folder) so that it appears in the available setup list?

Or does SmartRF Studio not support reverse XML import at all, and I should use a different format?

Any advice or examples on how to make SmartRF Studio recognize a custom XML configuration would be greatly appreciated. Andrew.

It turned out to be quite simple, it just required a little time.
The key point is that your files must start with ts_ in order for SmartRF Studio to recognize them.

I'm currently doing something similar, I found the document below, following it, I was able to create my own category as well as custom settings. The issue I'm fighting is, using my custom settings, SmartRF Studio always selects the Seq. number included in payload as well as changes my Length config and enables CRC by default.
