CC3220S-LAUNCHXL: CC3220S RadioTool

Part Number: CC3220S-LAUNCHXL
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3120, CC3220S

HI 

I am conducting the RF test using the Radiotool for my custom board.
I following the CLI command sample to test TX continuous(2s), TX packetized(2s) and RX(2s) periodically

The command i used to test.

1. ::TX Continuous ::CC3120 via UART ::channel 1 ::54Mbps OFDM ::max power ::packet size 1400bytes ::destination MAC address
01:23:45:67:89:AB ::infinite amount of packets ::long preamble ::all 0 pattern ::10 seconds testing time
RadioToolCLI.exe -X1 -P7 -B115200 -T -z1 -c1 -m13 -w0 -l1400 -a 0123456789AB -n0 -e0 -r0 -t10
2. ::TX Packetized ::CC3220 via UART ::channel 1 ::1Mbps DSSS ::max power ::packet size 512bytes ::destination MAC address
EE:EE:EE:EE:0E:EE ::100ms delay ::long preamble ::incremental pattern
RadioToolCLI.exe -X2 -P7 -B115200 -T -z2 -c1 -m1 -w0 -l512 -a EEEEEEEE0EEE -n0 -e0 -r1 -t10

3. ::RX ::CC3120 via UART ::channel 6 ::show as number of packets ::20 seconds testing time ::only report statistics at the end
RadioToolCLI.exe -X1 -P7 -B115200 -c6 -R -t20

If i run the code on the cc3220s launchpad, it can working well.

However, its not working on my board even using the same image file. My board will stop response for the command after several cycle.

The board i used is working well using my application code and can communicate to my server. 

Regards

Nicky



I found the chip stop response after several cycle

  • Hi Nick,

    Have you tried increasing the delay?
    Have you checked your power rails while the test is running?
    Have you tried changing the packet size and seeing if it anything different happens?

  • HI Michael
    Have you tried increasing the delay?
    it running in slow rate, i have 2 second interval between each test

    Have you checked your power rails while the test is running?
    The power is ok, i have monitored during the whole test.

    Have you tried changing the packet size and seeing if it anything different happens?
    I found its hang during the RX test only. If i disable the RX test, it can run for a long time.
    When it hang, it stop during after received the timestamp on the 5th line.
    And the return message also have an additional message "UART received lenght 77"

    Regards
    Nicky
