CC1120 and Tm4C123gxl (OR tm4c1294xl)

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1120

Dose any one try to implement a wireless network with CC1120 and TM4C123gxl?? According to official document and other official example, CC1120 is always working with MSP430. But now I have a program needing to integrate these two kits and I feel desperately helpless. Waiting for answer or response online. T^T

  • Ok, where are you in the process? Do you have a CC1120 EM and a Tiva kit and wonder what to do or do you actually have SPI connection between the two up and running and wonder how to implement a network?

    I am just getting start and I am a total novice. I have download a lot of documents and the official examples of the two kits, but I dont know how to make these two kits work together and can communicate with another board. THX

  • CC1120 is programmed over the SPI interface. By programmed I mean setting the registers and issuing strobes that makes the radio go to TX ,RX, IDLE etc. To learn how you get a CC1120 to talk to another, check the easylink example here: http://www.ti.com/lit/zip/swrc253

    To use this code on the TIVA you have to find out how to use the SPI. I assume that it exist some examples on this in the TIVA ware. Test first if you manage to read/ write to a single register to test that the SPI communication is up and running.

    Thank you. I would try studying the examples you recommend.  Also, I wonder that can CC1120 works in ISO18000 stacks? Or it can only function in SimliciTI or  6LoWPan?

  • CC1120 is compliant with most stacks that uses the frequency range and modulation format the device can support.

    ISO18000 is a document that covers a lot of frequencies and usages so it's not possible to answer without knowing which part you want to build a system to be compliant with.

    The kit I own is CC1120-433MHz. If I want to build a system using ISO18000-7(which is specific for 433MHz), can CC1120 fits the stack? If it fits, what should I do to implement the stack on CC1120?

  • You implement the stack on a MCU since CC1120 does not have a MCU core. How to implement the layers above PHY in a stack is outside the scope of this forum. I believe CC1120 will fit the PHY in ISO18000-7.
