CC1200EMK-868-930: Can CC1200EMK daughter card work with TMS320F28379D Delfino Board

Part Number: CC1200EMK-868-930
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F28379D, CC1200DK, CC1200

Hello TI officers,

I am interested in the CC1200EMK-868-930 daughter cards, but TI's website on it says that "The CC1200DK is required for operation and needs to be ordered separately". Previously, I have bought TMS320F28379D Delfino board, and I am asking you guys if I can simply use my board to communicate with the CC1200EMK cards. Which communication protocol can I use ? 

And one more thing, the CC1200EMK's user guide says that I need to install SmartRF Studio on my PC in order to work with CC1200DK board. Is it required in my case, or can I use Code Composer Studio to program the CC1200EMK cards via the XDS100v2 on-board debugger of TMS320F28379D ? Do I need a specific debugger to program the EMK cards ? 

Regards,
An.

  • To control the CC1200, a SPI interface is required. Meaning that any MCU with a SPI interface can be used to control the chip. But you need to write a driver that does the SPI transfer as described in the CC1200 UserGuide.

    SmartRF Studio is used to find the register settings.

    Which MCU are you planning to use in your product?
  • Hello TER,

    I'm using C2000 MCU in my product, particularly TMS320F28379D control CARD.

    Does TI have any library supporting the CC1200 MCUs, which have source code files containing functions to control the chip using SPI ? Because I was using TMS230F28379D, and it has C2000 Ware support library. 

    If I am using the TMS320F28379D control CARD together with CC1200EMK ( connected through SPI wires), can I use SmartRF Studio to view register values of CC1200EMK ? Or do I have to buy a CC debugger in order to do this ? 

    Thanks and regards,
    An.

  • You can use SmartRF Studio without any chip connected and do a register export and use the resulting file in your code.

    As far as I know we don't have any example code that uses C2000 + CC1200. You can take a look at the example code we have for MSP430 and port this.
  • Thanks a lot TER.
