Page 6: Development Kit Contents
swru318 Development Kit contents CC2543-CC2544DK The CC2543-CC2544 Development Kit (CC2543-CC2544DK) includes hardware and software that allows quick testing of the CC2543 and CC2544 RF performance and offers a complete platform for development of advanced prototype RF systems. Evaluate the CC2543 and the CC2544 right out of the box. The kit can be used for range testing using the pre-programmed PER test application running on the two devices. - Page 7 swru318 SmartRF05EB The SmartRF05EB (evaluation board) is the main board in the kit with a wide range of user interfaces: 3x16 character serial LCD Full speed USB 2.0 interface UART LEDs Serial Flash Potentiometer ...

CC2545EMK The CC2545 Evaluation Module Kit (CC2545EMK) is an add-on module to the CC2543-CC2544DK and the latter must be acquired to be able to use the CC2545EM in the same manner as the CC2543EM. The CC2545EMK contains the following components ... -
Page 9: Getting Started
swru318 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 [9] 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 10: Running The Preprogrammed Packet Error Rate Test
swru318 Running the Preprogrammed Packet Error Rate Test 5.2.1 Introduction The CC2543EM, CC2545EM and CC2544Dongle come pre-programmed with a Packet Error Rate (PER) test application. The PER number is the ratio between number of packets being lost and the total number of packets being sent. The PER relates to the more traditional Bit Error Rate (BER) through the formula ... -
Page 11: Program Flow
swru318 5.2.2 Program Flow The PER test has two modes of operation, MASTER mode and REMOTE mode. The CC2543/45 can run both modes while the CC2544 can only run the MASTER mode. This is because the CC2544 is mounted on the CC2544 USB Dongle board which has no graphical user interfaces (required for configuration of REMOTE mode operation). - Page 12 swru318 If a beacon packet was received and an acknowledgement was sent the program enters the state called “remoteRxMode”. In this state the REMOTE device go in to a Rx mode and continuously updates the LCD on the SmartRF05EB with the packet error rate, the Received Signal Strength Indication value (RSSI) and number of good packets received.

swru318 5.2.3 Set Up the CC254x Proprietary Mode Packet Error Rate Test The PER test can be set up between any combination of CC2543EM and CC2545EM. The CC2544Dongle has no graphical user interface so it is limited to MASTER mode operation. It is set to the MASTER mode by default when powered. -
Page 16: Evaluate The Cc2543/44/45 Radio Using Smartrf Studio
SmartRF Studio is a PC application developed for configuration and evaluation of many of the RF-IC products from Texas Instruments, including the CC2543 and CC2544. The application communicates with the CC2543/44/45 via the USB controller (the CC2511) on the SmartRF05EB board. The USB controller uses the debug interface of the CC2543/44/45 to execute commands and to read and write registers. - Page 17 swru318 Figure 7 - CC2543 control panel in SmartRF Studio Figure 7 shows the main control panel for the CC2543. 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 CC2543EM SMA connector to perform RF measurements.

Page 18: Setting Up The Software Development Environment
swru318 Setting up the Software Development Environment To develop software and debug an application on the CC2543/44/45, it is recommended to use IAR Embedded Workbench. It supports debugging of CC2543/44/45 through the SmartRF05EB, so no additional hardware is required. IAR EW8051 is bundled with all the required files for CC2543/44/45 to start development: ... -
Page 19: Rf Testing
swru318 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 20: Rx Parameter Testing Basics
swru318 RX Parameter Testing Basics To investigate the RX performance of the CC2543/44/45, 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. -

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. - Page 27 swru318 Figure 14 - Browse for Driver Software If the above fails, select “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.” A new window will open, asking for a location of where drivers can be found. Locate the SmartRF05EB file and select that driver for installation.
- Page 28 swru318 If the board is listed as an unknown device or associated with another driver, right click the device in the Device Manager and select Uninstall. After uninstalling, unplug the board from the PC and plug it in again. The “Found New Hardware Wizard” should re-appear. Follow the steps as outlined in the beginning of this section.
