Need help to start on SimpliciTI with MSP430G2553

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2500, SIMPLICITI, MSP430G2553

I am starting to design a wireless communication on MSP430G2553 and CC2500 . I can find all tutorial on net are with TI standard KIT . I have reference design from cc2500 datasheet .It is properly working . SO i need to start on it with SimpliciTI .I am using CCS 5.5.

1.>Where can i start ?????

2.>What are basic SimpliciTI libraries i need to use???????

3.>How can i edit bsp_board_def.h according to my custom design ??????????

  • Start by checking the wiki: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:SimpliciTI and http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/SimpliciTI_FAQ. The later has an entry on adapting the code to other MCUs. CC2500 is supported.

  • Thanks for reply

    I adapt it to G2553 as per porting guide .But now i am facing another issue .

      My code is running without error but on hardware it hangs up in mrfi_radio.c  at around line 390

    #ifdef MRFI_ASSERTS_ARE_ON
    #define TEST_VALUE 0xA5
      mrfiSpiWriteReg( PKTLEN, TEST_VALUE );
     MRFI_ASSERT( mrfiSpiReadReg( PKTLEN ) == TEST_VALUE ); /* SPI is not responding*/


    As it says SPI is not working I tried all setting for SPI plus try changing hardware still it hangs at same place .

    1.> What are possible things i need to changes in code rather than http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/MSP430_SimpliciTI_Porting_Guidelines .  ???????????


    i had tried http://e2e.ti.com/support/low_power_rf/f/156/p/114890/419123.aspx also still same problem

  • You have to check if you have setup SPI correctly.

    - Look at the code examples for the launchpad: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:Sub-1GHz#EasyLink_versions.

    - Have you tried to probe the SPI interface to check that the interface is at the expected pins.

  • Thanks TER

    I check my SPI setup I think it is ok .I tried it on external ADC it works . still i am attaching "mrfi_board_defs.h" 7563.mrfi_board_defs.h

    and "bsp_board.c"
