Repeater Demonstration
The Repeater application increases the range between two boards or monitors the activity on an SMAC
based communication system. To execute this demonstration application, user need a tool to send and
receive characters over two serial ports in addition to what Freescale supplies.
This chapter provides a simplified example. Currently, the code cannot be used as a generic repeater, this
application implements two modes of repeater and an SMAC sniffer.
Prior to loading the Repeater demonstration application, the application must be generated using BeeKit,
as described in the BeeKit Wireless Connectivity Toolkit User's Guide.
The MC1322x SMAC Repeater demonstration application is consistent with previous SMAC Repeater
applications (those that run on the MC1319x, MC1320x, and MC1321x boards) but implements a new
SMAC sniffer which is a demonstration on how to monitor SMAC communication.
See
Section 1.3, "UART/USB Virtual COM Port Setup"
port for this application.

Generating a Project From BeeKit
Once the UART/USB virtual ports have been configured proceed to generate the project from BeeKit.
1. Open BeeKit (Start->Programs->Freescale BeeKit->Freescale BeeKit).
2. In BeeKit, select the MC1322x SMAC codebase (File menu -> Select Codebase...)
3. Click on File -> New Project and choose the Repeater template.
4. Follow the steps as displayed in the New Project wizard.
5. Configure the properties as needed.
6. Validate the solution
7. Export the solution.
Create the project folder with the structure as shown in
MC1322x SMAC Demonstration Application User's Guide, Rev. 1.3
