CC2520 + MSP430FR4619 / MSP430FR5728 instructions to use SmartRF Studio

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FG4619, MSP430FR5728, CC2520, MSP430F2618

Hey guys,

I am trying to establish a communication between two custom boards. One is using CC2520 + MSP430FG4619 and the other one CC2520 + MSP430FR5728.

It is my first time working with MSP430 and CC2520 devices. My aim is to get the CC2520's in an active state so that I can command them via SmartRF Studio and check their general function. Does anybody have experience with this issues on custom boards or some code to help me out? Which instruction does the CC2520 need to get over the SPI that it is recognized by the RF Studio? Any idea how I can see that my hardware is working properly?  By now Smart RF Studio only recognizes my MSP's but always says "unkonown rf device" since it does not recognize the CC2520's. I could not find any solution in any documentation, neither in the CC2520 datasheet nor in the Smart RF Studio description. I could only find support for experimental boards but not for custom ones...

I am very thankful for any advice. Thank you very much in advance. You are my last chance ;-)

Best regards

Flo

    Hi,
    I would recommend you start by taking a look at the examples written for MSP430F2618 available here: http://www.ti.com/lit/zip/swrc090 and then port those from the development kit http://www.ti.com/tool/cc2520dk to your MSP platform of choice.

    Thanks,

    Thank you very much for yur help!
    I can send instructions to the CC2520 via SPI but what I still don't get is which instructions the CC2520 really needs to get recognized by the SmartRF Studio. It still only recognizes the MSP430 but not the transceiver...
    Any redommendations on that??

    Dit I get it right, that SmartRF Studio should recognize the CC2520 on a custom board if it is in the active mode and configured through the MSP430 via SPI? I connect the board with a MSP-FET430 UIF debugger.

    Thanks in advande!

    You have to use CCDebugger to use CC2520 with SmartRF Studio. The MSP-FET430 UIF is only used to communicate with MSPs.
