LAUNCHXL-CC1352P: Basic RF examples (from CC2530) for CC1352P

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC1352P
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2430, CC2530, CC1352P, Z-STACK

Hi everyone,

We are using the CC2530 in a battery powered device and we have developed our FW based on TI basic_RF.c / .h libraries (for instance light_switch - sfr05_cc2530 code example). These devices (End Devices role), are sending and receiving frames to/from a Zigbee network with a Coordinator and several Routers based on CC2430 with Zstack 1.4.3. This is due to we need a very fast sending from ED to Coordinator and/or Router, so the joining process is no needed to send /receive frames. This work fine. 

Now, we want to migrate to CC1352P for different reasons. We would like to use a similar CC2530 BasicRF FW but using CC1352P (LAUNCHXL-CC1352P-2). So, my questions are:

1. Is there any example similar to BasicRF for the CC1352P to make compatible our system? In the SDK  SimpleLink CC13x2 26x2 V5.10.0048 we can not found any example for this. 

2. If not, is there any possibility to use any example in the SDK to send frames without joining in a zigbee network? 

3. Any example for P2P or Star communication?

Thanks.

Joaquim.

  • Hi

    We do not have any such. For bacic RC and TX examples in the SDK we have the rfPacketRx and rfPacketTx examples, but these will pnly work with the proprietary API (CMD_PROP...) and the only settings we have prop. on 2.4 GHz is 100 and 200 kbps 2-GFSK, and 250 kbps MSK.

    For Zigbee you need to use the IEEE API and the 250 kbps OQPSK settings.

     As far as I know, the only code examples we have usnig these commands are the zigbee examples.

    You can probably try to take the rfPacketRX and TX examples and change the API from PROP to IEEE (you can find the settings and the command in SmartRF Studio), but we do not have any example code for this.

  • Hi Joaquim,

    I'm not sure whether Inter-Pan messages would resolve your application need, but they are a Z-Stack feature that I recommend you consider.  Inter-PAN transmission enables Zigbee devices to perform limited, insecure, and possibly anonymous exchange of information with devices in their local neighborhood without having to form or join the same Zigbee network.

  • Hi Siri,

    Thanks for the answer. 

    Following your suggestion, I have captured the BasicRF (CC2530) whole frame (hex bytes) and replicate it through SmartStudio and CC1352P using IEEE 802.15.4 mode (250Kbps, O-QPSK). I can send the captured frame to the Coordinators and Routers and it works fine. 

    Now, I will try to implement this in the RfEasyLinkRX and TX changing the RF setup according to SmartStudio. 

    Thanks for the help.

    Joaquim.

  • Hi Ryan,

    Thanks for your suggestion. It is interesting this feature. I will work on this also. I have seen the way in the Z-Stack overview with INTER_PAN compile option.

    BR,
