    TX Parameter Testing Basics To investigate the TX performance of the CC2543 and the CC2544, you can either use a Spectrum Analyzer or an RF Power Meter. Use the “Continuous TX” test mode in SmartRF Studio to set up the device to transmit a signal at the desired frequency.

  • Page 15: Rx Parameter Testing Basics

    RX Parameter Testing Basics To investigate the RX performance of the CC2543 or CC2544, you can use a signal generator or “Packet TX” in SmartRF Studio (with another EB+EM) to generate the packets to receive. The receiver can be configured by using the “Packet RX” test feature in SmartRF Studio.

Note that, by default, the CC2544 dongle is not powered through the debug connector, so an external power source must be used while programming. The easiest solution is to connect it to a USB port on the PC.

    The drivers for the evaluation board are normally located in the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\SmartRF Tools\Drivers, where C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\SmartRF Tools\ is the default root installation directory for SmartRF Studio. The path may be different if you have chosen a different installation directory for SmartRF Studio.

Locate the SmartRF05EB file and select that driver for installation. Finally, verify that the device is associated with the correct driver by opening the Device Manager on you PC.
  • Page 22 Can I use another compiler than IAR to develop software for CC2543/44? Yes, there are several tools available that can be used for CC2543 and CC2544. Any 8051 compiler (e.g. Keil, GCC, and SDCC) can, in theory, be used. Note that these tools may have limited debugging support for CC2543 and CC2544.
