11 Frequently Asked Questions

Q1 When connecting the SmartRF05EB to my PC via USB, the dialog window below appears.
Why? What should I do?
A1 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.
If you have installed SmartRF Studio, just follow the instructions and select "Automatic
installation". Windows should find the required driver (cebal2.sys), as specified in an .inf file.
Both files (.inf and .sys) are included in the SmartRF installation.
If you have not installed SmartRF Studio, it is recommended that you do so before proceeding.
Both the SmartRF Studio User Manual and SmartRF05EB User's Guide has more details.
Q2 SmartRF05EB with the CC2530EM is not detected by IAR/SmartRF Studio. Why?
A2 Make sure you have installed SmartRF Studio as described in section 5.4. Then verify that the
device is associated with the correct driver by opening the Device Manager on your PC. When
the EB is connected, the "Cebal controlled devices" list contains "SmartRF05EB". If the board is
listed as an unknown device, please follow the steps outlined in the SmartRF05EB User's Guide.
