Question regarding the CC2520EMK

Hi Brian,

Yes, this should be possible as long as you have the correct firmware on your SmartRF04EB that supports CC1110-CC1111DK. The firmware will detect CC2520.
Preferably CC2520EMK should be used with the SmartRF05EB.

I have bought cc2420MSP430ZDK. I have MSP430 experimenter boards with MSP430FG4618/ MSP430F2013 and separate CC2420EMK. Is there any application note directly on it. If I connect CC2420EMK on MSP430 experimenter board, the RF chip is not recognized on smartRF. I don't understand whats the problem.

Also I need z-stack for cc2420. Could you please help me in this regard.

Hi Morten,

What is the correct firmware for this configuration?  Where can I find it?..  Thanks for your help!

Team,

We are still attempting to resolve this issue and cannot locate the proper FW to download into the CC2420 EB.

I found this post on updating the FW -

 http://e2e.ti.com/support/low_power_rf/w/design_notes/updating-the-firmware-on-the-smartrf-eb-board-from-smartrf-studio.aspx

however, this does not appear to match up with SmartRFStudio 7 and I cannot locate the correct files on my laptop anywhere.  Please advise, we're clearly missing something here.

Thanks,

John

Morton,

I've been playing with this using a SmartRF04 and a CC2520EM.  It doesn't appear that the latest FW version supports the CC2520 on the SmartRF04.  I found a forum post here: http://e2e.ti.com/support/low_power_rf/f/155/p/15915/61224.aspx - from 3 years ago that seems to indicate that it isn't supported and the SmartRF05 board is required.  However, this is with SmartRF Studio version 6.

Can I get a definite confirmation that SmartRF04 and CC2520EM will or will not work together?  We need to get this customer moving and if he needs a different eval kit we need to get that going.

Thanks,

John
