EZ430-RF2500: Default RF settings of the SimpliciTI peer to peer example for eZ430-RF2500

Part Number: EZ430-RF2500

Hi,

  I would like to know what are the default RF parameters like data rate, tx power, bandwidth etc for the simple peer to peer example provided for eZ430-RF 2500 using SimpliciTI protocol.

Thanks,

Vignesh 

  • Hi Vignesh,

    Default values are shown in the CC2500 datasheet and smartrf settings are provided in SimpliciTI-CCS-1.1.1/Components/mrfi/smartrf/CC2500/smartrf_CC2500.h

    Regards,
    Ryan
  • Hi Ryan,
    Thanks for the reply. Now, I'm able to modify the code and implement my application for the RF link between 2 ezFET-RF2500 USB dongles with simpliciti protocol. However, in actual application, the transmitter will be a custom designed sensor node which houses the Anaren based CC2500 - system on module package (www.anaren.com/.../A2500R24A.pdf) along with MSP430F5529 MCU. It would be of great help if I can get some resources for implementing simpliciti on such system. Thanks in advancee!
  • Hi TER,
    Thanks for the response. I have few queries in the shared wiki page. The reference uses a FRAM based MSP430 whereas I use MSP430F5529 which I hope doesn't have memory protection unit. So should I just have to leave the parts of the modification code which has the peripheral declarations that doesn't suit my target device? 

    Can I use the ported bsp files for the MSP-EXP430F5529 experimenter's board?(link)

    Thanks,

  • Hi,
    I was successfully able to port SimpliciTI to the MSP430F5529 platform. I use CCS v4 andMSP430F5529LP launchpad is used to debug the custom designed board based on MSP430F5529. But, I'm unable to program the custom board. Is there any restriction that MSP430F5529LP can't be used with CCS v4?
  • Any good reason why you haven't updated CCS in a long time? The newest in CCS7?
  • Hey,
    Initially I had issues in using simpliciti with ccsv6 so I used ccs v4. Now, I am able to use the ported simpliciti code on ccs v6. But the wireless link seems to be not working. Is there any way of making sure how to debug this issue. I didn't have any error in the ported simpliciti code.

    Thanks,
  • Hi,

     While running simpliciti on my custom board with Anaren CC2500 module and MSP430F5529, in debug mode, the code stops at the following line which states that SPI is not initialized.

    MRFI_SPI_ASSERT( MRFI_SPI_IS_INITIALIZED() ); /* SPI is not initialized */

    I have attached the modified files of my mrfi_board.c and mrfi_board_defs.h files for your reference.

    I also read the following post where the same issue has been addressed but it didn't help in resolving the issue.
