Chipcon products from Texas Instruments. 2 About this manual This manual covers the hardware of the CC2533 RF4CE Basic development kit. To use the development kit the RemoTI software must be downloaded from http://www.ti.com/remoTI. Separate manuals cover the RemoTI target emulator PC software and the software development suite.

for instructions to run the PER and latency test, and the RemoTI Latency and Packet Error Rate Application Note (SWRA262) for sample measurements. On/Off, switches power on the target. Note that most applications can still receive remote control commands when powered off, but the latency is longer Packet Error Rate Figure 1: Remote Control Key layout 4.3 The Target Module...
4.5 RemoTI Software Included with the RemoTI software package is the Target Emulator application. This application is located at the C:\Texas Instruments\RemoTI\bin folder. The target module is programmed to be a RF4CE network processor that receives commands from the Target emulator software and handles the RF4CE protocol The Target Emulator lets you emulate a remote control on the PC.
The latest version of RemoTI software can be downloaded from the Texas Instruments website (http://www.ti.com/remoti), where you will also find a complete user manual. 4.6 Installing the target module Windows drivers Before your PC can communicate with the target modules over USB, you will need to install the driver files for the target module.

swru266 Figure 6: The driver installation is completed (Windows XP) Select the following directory <Installation Path>\Tools\Driver for the needed *.inf and *.sys driver files. The driver is now installed and the PC is can communicate with target module using a virtual COM port.
swru266 4.7 Testing the Remote Control application You are now ready to use the development kit to test remote control. The RemoTI software package includes a remote control target emulator. This is an application that is running on a PC and emulates TV or A/V equipment. It controls the RemoTI receiver using a serial port interface.
Figure 8: SmartRF flash programmer interface 5.2 Programming and debugging the remote control The CC2533 can be programmed and used as an in-circuit emulator using the debugging interface on the rear under the battery compartment cover. The CC Debugger is used to program and debug remote control applications.
Note Pin 1 marking ► Figure 9: Connecting the remote control to the CC Debugger Care should be taken when connecting the CC Debugger cable to the remote control. There is no protection from connecting the cable with wrong orientation. The pin 1 marking on the CC Debugger adapter board must match the pin 1 marking on the remote control.
6 The Target Module The target module is designed to allow flexible interfaces for many common types of interfaces used in typical remote control applications. The target module uses a CC2533EM RF reference design 6.1 Target module hardware description 6.1.1 CC2533EM interface The signal names for the CC2533EM interface is detailed in Table 1: RemoTI target...
6.1.2 The USB port is used for powering the board and for serial interface to the CC2533. A TUSB3410 is used to translate the serial port interface to USB interface. Future versions of the target module may use devices with integrated USB interfaces. In order to support devices with integrated USB interface 0-ohm resistors are used to select between interfacing USB directly to TUSB3410 and to the EM connector.
6.1.5 Debug interface A 2x5 pin 1.27 mm pitch header (J5) is used for programming and debugging the CC2533 on the EM socket. The pinout of this connector is shown in Table 3 below. EM connector pin numbers in parentheses.
The IR receiver is a Vishay TSOP85238. The receiver is optimized for 38 KHz input signal. The IR input is connected to the IR_IN signal The IR transmitter is a Vishay TSKS5400S. The diode is only used for short distance IR signals as the target module is intended to be mounted on the receiver side of the equipment.
7 Appendix A: Opening the remote control Yes, we know you will do it… Here are the instructions how to open the remote control without breaking it. First insert two thin flat screwdrivers on the bottom of the remote between the two slots. Press carefully to open the casing on the bottom.
swru266 8 Appendix B: How to upgrade the target module USB driver The target module USB driver information is stored an EEPROM for the TUSB3410 USB interface device. This EEPROM includes Vendor ID, USB ID, USB device name, and serial number.
Remove the short on the pins 1(GND) and pin 11(I2C SDA) on the interface header before clicking “Program EEPROM” Figure 18: Using the EEPROM burner software After successful programming, unplug the mini-USB cable, mount the CC2533EM on the target module and plug in the mini-USB cable again. The target module will now appear as a COM port in the device manager.
