cc2530: Unit fails to work on HID demo

Part Number: CC2530

Hi,

I want to use to the HID demo on this unit. I placed it on the smartRF05eb which recognises the emk. Programming (and verifying) the simple_hid_eb.hex file using smartRF Flash Programmer work properly, however there is no change on the unit.

I also have a CC2530emk which I can flash with its simple_hid_eb.hex and it works immediately.

What is the problem? Is it related somehow to the differences between smartRF04 and smartRF05?

Thanks,

Ariel

  • Ariel,

    You write that : "however there is no change on the unit". What do you mean? have you been able to verify that the Flash image is the same by reading it back and running a compare?

  • Hi TA,

    I have 2 units: CC2530emk and CC1110emk which both connect to the SmartRF05 on the same socket. When the CC2530 unit is programmed there is an immediate response on the SmartRF05 lcd screen and its buttons react as expected.
    However, when the CC1110 unit is programmed there is no response regarding the application that has been programmed on it. The lcd continues to display "Texas Instruments SmartRF05 EB CC1110" instead of interaction with the application.

    According to your question: I have been able to (and indeed) verified the hex file.

    While exploring this issue deeply, I compared between the IAR workspaces of the this demo project and found out that the CC1110 calls files that are related to SmartRF04 and the CC2530 calls files that are related to SmartRF05. Therefore, as I understand, I need to rearrange the workspace to have CC1110 calling to SmartRF05 files properly.

    Is that right and if so, can you instruct me how to do it?

    Regards,
    Ariel
