Where can I find the Factory firmware for the CC2500/CC2550DK

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2500, CC2550

 

Recently I bought a CC2500/CC2550DK development kit in the hope there would be a CD inside which contain the Factory firmware code (source and executable).

But to my surprise, there is no CD inside the kit at all.

I have checked the TI website, I could not find the Factory firmware either.

I need to design a product which involve a PC and an independent embedded system with CC2500 for its wireless link.

So I need some reference code for the USB and CC2500 which works on the CC2500/CC2550DK development kit (Factory firmware code would ideal).

Any one could help me on this?

 

Thanks,

Adam

    Hi Adam,

    The CC2500/CC2550 are tranceivers / transmitters only, there is no code running on these as the external MCU handles all this. We do have example code available here:
    http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/cc2500.html

    You can also evaluate the radio performance etc. with the SmartRF04EB board and SmartRF Studio in the DK.

    We don't release code for the SmartRF04EB itself, nor is this the intention with this board, so you will need a external USB controller and hook it up to the CC2500.

    Hi Kjetil,

     

    I am talking about the code for the Silicon Labs C8051F320 which control the CC2500 on the  CC2500/CC2550DK SmartRF04EB board. (I have spent more than $600 including tax and shipping for the kit purchased from mouser.com)

    I can try different sample code provided by TI. But once I programmed the C8051F320 with sample code, how can I restore to its original Factory firmware without the Factory firmware code either in binary or source form available from TI? I spent more than $600 in the hope to get the source code to speed up my development process. But there is not even a CD inside.

    Could you help with my issue?

    Thanks,

    Adam

    Adam, 

    The Factory FW can be found in your SmartRF Studio installation folder. Typically located here:
    C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\Extras\Srf04Eb

    If you want to download you own FW it's important that you keep the bootloader in the 8051 intact, otherwise you will need programming tools from Silabs. See chapter 9.1 in the Development Kit User Manual.

    The bootloader is provided as a pre-compiled library only.
