CC2500 gets stucked in receive mode

Hi all,

i was able to perform transmission and reception of messages by using CC2500 and MSP430F147. I do not use addresses.

I perform the reception of a messages by using interrupt on GDO0 configured to asserts when sync word has been received, and de-asserts at the end of the packet.

Then, to read the received data i use the function "RFReceivePacket" given by Texas.

char RFReceivePacket(char *rxBuffer, char *length)
{
  char status[2];
  char pktLen;

  if ((TI_CC_SPIReadStatus(TI_CCxxx0_RXBYTES) & TI_CCxxx0_NUM_RXBYTES))
  {
    pktLen = TI_CC_SPIReadReg(TI_CCxxx0_RXFIFO); // Read length byte

    if (pktLen <= *length)                  // If pktLen size <= rxBuffer
    {
      TI_CC_SPIReadBurstReg(TI_CCxxx0_RXFIFO, rxBuffer, pktLen); // Pull data
      *length = pktLen;                     // Return the actual size
      TI_CC_SPIReadBurstReg(TI_CCxxx0_RXFIFO, status, 2);
                                            // Read appended status bytes
      return (char)(status[TI_CCxxx0_LQI_RX]&TI_CCxxx0_CRC_OK);
    }                                       // Return CRC_OK bit
    else
    {
      *length = pktLen;                     // Return the large size
      TI_CC_SPIStrobe(TI_CCxxx0_SFRX);      // Flush RXFIFO
      return 0;                             // Error
    }
  }
  else
      return 0;                             // Error
}

The system works well, but unfortunately some times the receiver gets stucked, and the GDO0 signal never de-asserts.

Maybe the receiver never gets the "End of packet" sent by the transmitter? Or maybe i do some error in reading received data?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Oscar
