Need help CC1125DK debugger interface MSP-FET430UIF correct set-up

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1125DK, MSP430F5438A

Hi all,

I am working on a UNB project as part of my school paper and have not really much experience in microcontroller

programming but with a little understanding on wireless communication. So basically I am starting from scratch.

I just got this CC1125DK kit and had tried the smartRF  studio working when connecting directly both the evaluation

boards working /communicating. However when i connect the MSP debugger interface in between, error came up

even after updating all the devices' firmware to current versions as prompted when i initially opened the apps.

Attached are screen shots of the two errors when opening the device controller panel either with SmartRF studio or

SmartRF flash Programmer.

Note that :

1) I have powered off the evaluation board as I noticed it wont get recognized when its ON .

2) I kept the switches  at ENABLE and UART mode as I understood from the CC1125DK quick start guide .

The reason why I am doing is because I wanted a couple of things to try:

1) Make the on-board sensors running by making or loading the 'preset' codes

2) Bypass the microcontroller and just use the transceiver side only and let an arduino-connected sensor

    as the I/O device instead.

I am not sure if what I am doing to get what i need make sense. So I would appreciate any help.

thanks

ariel

    Ariel,

    The TRXEB serves two functions,

    1. RF evaluation and debug platform (no MCU code needed)

      • Please refer to our online User Guide of the TRXEB platform to explain in some details about its capabilities.

        http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swru294a/swru294a.pdf

      • To use SmartRF Studio 7.0 the PC is connected directly to the TRXEB using the micro-USB on the side of the board. The gray MSP430UIF-FET is not used and should be removed from the PC for best behavior of the tools.

    2. Initial system development platform (MSP430F5438A based systems only)
      • The TRXEB board contains a MSP430F5438A microcontroller that can be programmed by connecting a MSP430UIF-FET tool and using IAR or CCS (C-compilers) to write your own application it.
      • We have provide the software that runs on the boards in source code for you to get started developing your own applications quickly.
      • http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swru296b/swru296b.pdf
      • In this case the SmartRF Studio 7.0 tool does not run
      • PS: the SmartRF Flash programmer can be used in this mode, but only version 1 and not version 2. Version 1 is for our 8051 and MSP430 based solutions and version 2 is for ARM only (at this time)
