Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2520, MSP430F2618

I am unable to connect CC2520 Development kit with SmartRF studio 7 . The application is able to display a USB device ID but displays no chip found despite having connected the CC250DK_EM board .

Hi,

What is the USB device you've mentioned in your post?

Is it smartRF05EB or CC debugger?

Hi,

Have you tried with the other module?

Is the behavior the same as with the first cc2520EM?

Thank you for the quick response :) .Found the problem . Actually I had attached CCMSP-EM430F2618 board with SmartRF05EB and then attached CC520DK_EM to the MSP board.That is why it was unable to recognise the RF chip. On removing CCMSP-EM430F2618 and attaching CC520DK_EM directly to the SmartRF05EB board, i was able to use the hardware.

Can you please tell me how I can program a custom board having CC2520 and MSP430F2618 for simple data transmission and reception using SmartRF studio?

Hi,

Well, I'm not sure if studio supports such sort of connection, it's used as some kind of

replacement for the uC (MSP in your case), however, may be I wrong here, and you should

post a question in RF tools forum and may be in MSP forum, though I'm not familiar with the

last one.

Anyhow, the first place I would be looking for an answer to your question is in the user guide

of this specific kit.
