Development Kit Texas Instruments CC2520DK
The CC2520 Development Kit includes hardware and software that allows quick testing of the CC2520 RF performance and offers a complete platform for development of advanced prototype RF systems and for evaluation of the CC2520 right out of the box.
Detailed Description
The kit can be used for range testing using the pre-programmed PER tester running on the MSP430F2618.
Use SmartRFStudio to perform RF measurements. The radio can be easily configured to measure sensitivity, output power and other RF parameters. All I/O from the CC2520 are available on pin connectors on the SmartRF05EB and on the CCMSP-EM, allowing easy interconnection to other devices or controllers. These connectors are also compatible with logic analyzer probes for easy debugging.
The SmartRF05+CC2520EM can be utilized as a capture device for the SmartRF Packet Sniffer and the Sensor Network Analyzer from Daintree.
Features
The development kit contains the following components:
- 3 × SmartRF05EB
- SmartRF05EB is the motherboard in the system, hosting all of the user interfaces and connections to external interfaces.
- The main component on the board is the USB controller. It communicates with the PC via USB and translates requests from various PC tools (e.g. SmartRF Studio, SmartRF Flash Programmer) to actions on the board.
- The module connected to the EM connector has potentially access to all of the EB peripherals. It has full access to the LCD, serial flash, four LEDs, 2 buttons, joystick and UART RS232 interface.
- 3 × CC2520EM evaluation modules
- 3 × Antennas
- 2 × CCMSP-EM430F2618
- The CCMSP-EM430F2618 is a generic MCU board that can be plugged into a SmartRF05EB, giving access to all of that board’s user interfaces. Any TI LPW transceiver EM, or even a system-on-chip EM, can be plugged into the MCU board, enabling a versatile development platform for RF testing and software design.
- 1 × MSP-FET430UIF debug interface
- 3 × USB cables
- Documents
- TI Packet Sniffer (runs on CC2520EM + SmartRF05EB)
