    swru209b Getting started Setting up the hardware After opening the kit, make sure you have all components. Please contact your TI Sales Representative or TI Support [17] if anything is missing. Start by connecting the antennas to the SMA connector on the RF evaluation boards. Tighten the antenna’s screw firmly on to the SMA connector.

  • Page 8: Running The Preprogrammed Zigbee Sensor Demo

    SmartRF Studio is a PC application developed for configuration and evaluation of many of the RF-IC products from Texas Instruments, including the CC2530. The application communicates with the CC2530 via the USB controller on the SmartRF05EB board. The USB controller uses the debug interface of the CC2530 to execute commands and to read and write registers.
  • Page 9 swru209b PC. SmartRF Studio also offers a flexible code export function of radio register settings for software developers. Before proceeding, please download and install the latest version of SmartRF Studio from the web [2]. By installing Studio, the USB drivers needed for proper interaction between the PC and the hardware of the CC2530DK will also be installed.
  • Page 10 swru209b Figure 4 - CC2530 control panel in SmartRF Studio Figure 4 shows the main control panel for the CC2530. It lets you perform a number of operations:  Run TX Test modes for testing of RF output power and spectrum; e.g. by connecting a spectrum analyser or a power meter to the CC2530EM SMA connector to perform RF measurements.

    After installation refer to the Z-stack User’s Guide document found in the installation folders of Z- Stack™. The default root installation path for Z-Stack is C:\Texas Instruments\. A software package with the source code for the Sensor Demo, and Intel HEX files ready to be programmed on the devices, is available on the CC2530ZDK web site [11].

  • Page 12: Rf Testing

    swru209b RF Testing NB! When running RF performance tests, it is recommended to disable all other peripherals on the SmartRF05EB in order to avoid unwanted noise on the on-board voltage. In particular, make sure the RS232 level converter/line driver is disabled. RF testing can be performed by using SmartRF Studio together with the Development Kit.

  • Page 13: Rx Parameter Testing Basics

    swru209b RX Parameter Testing Basics To investigate the RX performance of the CC2530, 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. By adding a jammer (a third node that generates either noise on the same channel or a strong signal on an adjacent channel) it is also possible to measure co-channel rejection and selectivity/blocking performance.

  • Page 16 swru209b Figure 8 - CC2531 USB Dongle connected to SmartRF05EB The debug connector on the CC2531 USB Dongle matches the debug connector on the SmartRF05EB (and the CC Debugger). Note that, by default, the CC2531 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.

  • Page 19: Joystick

    swru209b 10.1 Joystick The joystick detects five positions (centre, up, down, left, right) and one event (pushed). The two aggregated signals, JOY_MOVE and JOY_LEVEL, are used to detect a joystick event when using a SoC (e.g. the CC2530). JOY_MOVE is high whenever the joystick is moved away from the centre position, including pushing.

  • Page 21 swru209b Figure 11 - Switch P8 effect on LED 1-4 Due to lack of pins, some of the signals are shared. The chip select signal to the EM will also be affected when LED3 is used by the SoC (e.g. CC2530). In most cases, this will not be a problem, since the SoC does not, by default, implement a SPI slave.

  • Page 24: Frequently Asked Questions

    swru209b 11 Frequently Asked Questions When connecting the SmartRF05EB to my PC via USB, the dialog window below appears. Why? What should I do? The SmartRF05EB will be recognized as a USB device by the operating system, and it will ask the user to provide information about which USB driver that should be associated with the device.
  • Page 25 swru209b How can I measure the current consumption of the CC2530? The easiest way to measure current consumption of the chip in various modes is to connect the EM directly to the SmartRF05EB and disconnect everything on the board that consumes power by removing all jumpers.
