CC2511 development examples

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2511, CC2500, SIMPLICITI

I currently have a design that uses the CC2500 on both transmitting and receiving ends.  I just got a CC2511 development kit with the intention of using the USB dongle to take the place of my receiver so I can send data directly to the PC.  Sounds easy enough, right? 

Well... I have some of the examples up and running like the HID device and the winamp remote and they work nicely.  My issue is that the C code for the dongle with the RF and USB libraries is some pretty dense material without any real documentation.  I have plenty of embedded firmware experience as well as object-oriented experience on the PC side but trying to pick my way through that code with all of the USB and RF abstraction is a bit daunting.

I also need to change the RF settings to match my previous design, and really I don't want or need to use the high level RF library with the handshaking, acknowledge, et al routines.

So I guess what I'm looking for/asking is if anyone has done their own development with the CC2511 based on the libraries from the development kit and can give me a simpler example.

Thanks.

    I have modified the usb dongle example firmware for CC2511 recently by removing all Radio related part and creating my own Fifos for application level buffers for USB handlers. I then used SimpliciTi stack examples for CC2500 to make CC2511 a USB-RF Gateway. Radio part in usbdongle firmware is a bit complex to follow actually compared to the examples for CC2500.
