For more information of CMT2310A-EB, please refer to its schematic diagram - CMT-RF_EB revXXX SCH.pdf In summary, CMT2310A-EB can be regarded as a development board with HC32L136 as the main control, which provides a variety of user-computer interaction interfaces (LCD lattice, beeper, LED, keys, USB-to- UART bridge, etc.).
AN241 2 Parameter Setting Based on CMT2310A-EB and CMT2310A-EM, a firmware for testing and evaluation of multiple functions of CMT2310A chip will be pre-burned at the factory. This firmware will be updated according to functional changes. You can download it from the official website of Hope Microelectronics Co., LTD., and use the J-link debugger and use J-Flash software for burn update (Chapter 4 of this article will describe the firmware update in detail).In the following section, parameter setting menu of the factory firmware will be described in detail.

AN241 Ony in the 2FSK mode, 2400bps, 1200Hz is set as the derived parameters of 2ppm. Therefore, when setting this configuration, ensure that the CMT2310A-EM is tested in TCXO mode or the frequency deviation of the two EMs is very small. Otherwise, the communication effect will be affected and the performance will be indirectly misdiagnosed.
