Thank you for purchasing a development kit for Low Power RF System-on-Chips from Texas Instruments. About this Manual This manual covers the CC1111 USB Dongle or the CC2511 USB Dongle found in the CC1110- CC1111DK/CC2510-CC2511DK development kits. Both these USB dongles are also available separately as the CC1111EMK868-915 and CC2511EMK evaluation module kits.
Figure 1. Kit Hardware Component Overview System on Chip. A collective term used to refer to Texas Instruments ICs with on-chip MCU and RF transceiver. Used in this document to reference the CC1111/CC2511 and the CC1110/CC2510. In Circuit Emulator. ICE functionality is built into the SmartRF04EB.
“I/O B” connector on SmartRF04EB to power the dongle from the EB (see Figure 3). The CC1111/CC2511 USB Dongle should only be powered by one of the two sources at a time. Do not connect the USB cable to the USB Dongle while it is powered from the SmartRF04EB. The SOC_DEM has a voltage level converter on the P3 connector, so the SmartRF04EB and the USB Dongle may have a different power supply voltage.

Figure 4. SmartRF04EB Power Switch, Power On The CC1111/CC2511 can now be programmed with the SmartRF Flash Programmer software. The firmware on the CC1111/CC2511 can also be debugged using the IAR Embedded Workbench debugger. Please see the SmartRF Flash Programmer [2] user manual for more details.
SmartRF04EB or other 3rd party programming tools. The USB Dongle can be used as a reference. Please see the CC1110/CC2510/CC1111/CC2511 section of the TI web site for an updated list of 3rd party programming tools.

General Purpose I/O Connectors All GPIO pins on the CC1111/CC2511 SoC that are not used on the USB Dongle are routed to the P4 “Test pins” pin-row. They can be used for debugging or to connect external devices to the CC1111/CC2511.
While the CC2511 USB Dongle has a PCB antenna designed as a meandered inverted F antenna, the CC1111 USB Dongle has a chip antenna with a PCB track added for tuning of the resonant frequency. The performance of the PCB antenna on the USB Dongle will be affected by its nearby surroundings.
