CC1120: MSP430 + CC112x

Part Number: CC1120
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WMBUS, MSP430FR4133,

Hello,

I am interested in developing a 169 MHz Wireless M-Bus solution, but I need to understand the following before I make a decision, I will be grateful if you can provide me with answers:


1-) Is a free WMBUS Wireless M-Bus Protocol Software available for the two-chip solution of the MSP430 + CC112x and CC120x from TI - the WMBUS download seems to be for the CC13x0?
2-) If the answer to the question above is yes, are there any limitations to the stack (limited number of nodes, no source code, no support, etc.)?
3-) What is the development platform for this stack?
4-) Is there another free software stack provided by TI other than the WMBUS that can also be used to create a low-power star network with the same hardware - I am particularly interested in the 169 MHz?

Thanks in advance.

  • Hello Cem,

    I will consult the subject matter expert and get back to you shortly.

    Thanks,

    Seong

  • Cem,

    1) I see on the WMBUS page that multiple other TI hardware platforms, including the two-chip solution of the MSP430 + CC112x and CC120x high performance transceivers are also supported, specifically the 868 and 169 MHz bands.

    2) A simple example for 169MHz network is here --> http://www.ti.com/tool/TIDC-MULTIBAND-WMBUS

    3) Code Composer Studio

    4) Not that I am aware of.

    Support for the wM-Bus stack is available from Stackforce GmbH. Services include stack customization and porting to hardware platforms beyond Texas Instruments’ reference design. You can contact Stackforce here.

  • Dear Seong,

    The download link for the software on the WMBUS page seems to be for the CC13x0 only as the name of the file downloaded is wmbus_cc13x0_rtos_2_0_0.exe. I could not find a stack for the two-chip solution on that page.

    I asked STACKFORCE, they told me that they do not provide any support for the free stack provided by TI and suggested I contact TI.

    Thanks,

    Cem

  • Hi Cem,

    A simple example for 169MHz network using a MSP430FR4133 + cc1120 is here. This should help you get started.

    We don't have any other code examples for WMBUS. We just have the WMBUS stack (or rather Stackforce implemented one). I'm not sure why they said that, but I will look into this and get back to you.

    BR,

    Seong

  • Hi Seong,

    Here is the correspondence between myself and Stackforce (David Rahusen) that took place on Sept 3, 2019.

    --------------

    Dear Cem,

    the TI package is maintained by TI. As far as I know yes, but unfortunately we cannot provide support or information on deliveries that are not maintained by STACKFORCE.

    Did you try to get in touch with TI?

    Kind regards,

    David

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    TI website states that "Multiple other TI hardware platforms, including the two-chip solution of the MSP430 + CC112x and CC120x high performance transceivers are also supported, specifically the 868 and 169 MHz bands". My question is: Does the free TI Wireless M-Bus stack include a 169 MHz solution with two-chip combination of the MSP430 + CCxxxx? It is hard to understand from TI document slat149b.pdf this. Please clarify. Thanks in advance.
