10. TX: Start PER Test
The transmitter is now configured for the
PER test. The PER test is started and
stopped by pushing the joystick (as a
button). The transmitter will display the
number of packets sent during the PER
test.
After stopping the test, it will start from
the beginning if the test is restarted.
13. Flash Programmer
Texas Instruments has a simple tool
which can be used to program the flash
on the CC2530.
The
Flash
Programmer
application,
available on the kit web page [2], can be
used to program Intel HEX files, read the
contents of flash and several other
operations.
Programming of a CC2530 can be done
through the SmartRF05EB.
Production
programming
available from TI's developer network [5].

11. RX: Observe PER
The PER test receiver will display the
PER value (number of lost and erroneous
packets divided by the number of packets
sent, displayed as a fraction of 1000).
The receiver will also display the number
of received packets and a moving
average RSSI value based on the last 32
packets.
By pressing button 1, all counters on the
receiver will be reset and the receiver will
restart the PER calculations.
14. IAR Embedded Workbench
To develop software, program and debug
the
CC2530,
Embedded Workbench for 8051.
A free evaluation version of IAR EW8051
is included in the kit. A free, code size
limited version can be downloaded from
the web. See www.iar.com/ew8051.

12. SmartRF Studio
After
running
the
PER
recommended step is to install SmartRF Studio
and to connect the evaluation board to the PC.
When installing SmartRF Studio, you will also
install the USB drivers required for the
SmartRF05EB board.
SmartRF Studio can be used for RF testing
and evaluation of C2530.
SmartRF Studio can be downloaded from
www.ti.com/smartrfstudio
15. Packet Sniffer
In order to debug RF protocols, it is possible to
use TI's SmartRF Packet Sniffer.
You can use the CC2531 USB dongle,
included in this kit, or the SmartRF05EB with a
CC2530EM, to capture the packets.
