    SWRU234b     October 2012  CC1110 Mini Development Kit 868-915 MHz Quick Start Guide 1  Kit Contents  2 x SmartRFCC1110-868 target boards       1 x CC Debugger 1 x 10- pin flat cable with 2x5 2.54 mm connector 1 x 10-pin flat cable with 2x5 1.27 mm connector 1 x Converter board 2.54 mm – 1.27 mm connector 1 x Mini USB cable  Batteries CD with Evaluation Version of the IAR EW8051 Documentation   The hardware in this kit is FCC/IC certified and complies with ETSI/R&TTE over temperature from 0 to +35°C. 2  Running the Preprogrammed Link Test 2.1 Introduction   The  CC1110  on  the  SmartRFCC1110  target board is  preprogrammed  with a  link  test  which operates  at  868.3  MHz,  and  uses  GFSK modulation and a bit rate of 2.4 kbps.    The link test runs a point-to-point communication between  a Slave and a Master node based on the SimpliciTI 1.1.0 protocol.   First  the  Master  and  Slave  nodes  must  be configured  as  described  in  the  following sections.  The  two  nodes  will  then  establish  a link.  When  this  link  is  established,  the  Master starts to periodically send packets to the Slave. Between each transmission, the Master goes to receive  mode  and  waits  250  ms  for  an acknowledgement  packet  from the  Slave.    The Slave  node  is  in  receive  mode  waiting  for packets  from  the  Master.  For  each  received packet,  the  Slave  automatically  responds  with an acknowledgement packet.  2.2 Powering the boards  Place  2  AAA  batteries  in  the  battery  holders placed  on  the  bottom  side  of  each  of  the SmartRFCC1110-868 boards. Place the jumper on  the  power  selection  connector  P1  between pin 1 and pin 2 on each board.     Applying  power  to  the  SmartRFCC1110-868 starts  the  preprogrammed  link  test  on  the CC1110 and the two LEDs on the board are on for 1 s. Warning! To minimize risk of personal injury or property damage, never use rechargeable batteries to power the board. Do not leave the board powered when unattended. 2.3 Configure the Master Node  Press the S1/MASTER button that is placed on the  left  hand  side  of  the  board.  When  this button is pushed, the two LEDs on this board will  blink  rapidly.  The  Master  now  waits  for  a Slave node to establish a link.     Note that the boards  only respond to  the first button  push.  To  reconfigure  the  board,  the board  must  be  reset,  see  point  2.9  in  this manual.  2.4 Configure the Slave Node   On the other board, press the S2/SLAVE button that  is  placed  on  the  right  side  of  the  board.  When  the  button  has  been  pushed,  the  two LEDs on this board will blink very slowly until a link with a Master node is established. Note that establishing the link may finish in less than 1 s depending on the environment.    It  is  important  to  keep  distance  (more  than  1 meter)  between  the  two  nodes  when  they  are trying  to  establish  the  link  to  avoid  saturation. This  is  because  full  output  power  (12  dBm)  is used for this communication between the nodes.  2.5 The LEDs on the Master Node  LEDs State Both  LEDs blink rapidly The  Master  is  trying  to establish  a  link  with  a Slave Green  LED on for 0.5 s The  Master  has received  an  ACK  to  a  packet sent, link ok Red  LED on for 0.5 s The  Master  has  not received an ACK to the last 3 packets sent Red  LED  on for 3 s If  the  Master  does  not receive  ACKs  from  the SLAVE  in  ~70  s,  the Master will stop to send packets to  save  power.  Press  S1/MASTER  to resume the link test Red  LED  on for 5 s For test only:  When  the  link  is established,  pressing the  S2/SLAVE  button turns the red LED on for 5 s  2.6 The LEDs on the Slave node  LEDs State Both  LEDs blink slowly The  Slave  is  trying  to establish  a  link  with  a Master Red  LED  on continuously The  link  between  the Slave  and  Master  is established  and  the Slave  is  in  RX  waiting for  packets  from  the Master Green    LED on  for  0.5  s while red LED on continuously The Slave has received a  packet  from  the Master  and  sent  an ACK, link ok  Caution!  The  kit  contains  ESD sensitive  components.  Handle with  care  to  prevent  permanent damage.  To  minimize  risk  of injury,  avoid  touching components  during  operation  if symbolized as hot.
    SWRU234b     October 2012  2.7 Antenna Performance  The  PCB  antenna  length  on  the SmartRFCC1110-868  is  tuned  for  optimal performance with two AAA  batteries  present  in the battery holder. As this antenna is  directive, see  DN024  www.ti.com/lit/swra227,  it  is important  to  place  the  two  nodes  so  that  the arrow  in  the  silk  print  next  to  the  antenna  on both boards points upwards towards the sky for optimal performance.   2.8 Range testing  The preprogrammed  link test  is  well suited for range testing. Place the Slave in an open field and  bring  the  Master a  known  distance  away. Use the LED signaling to decide the link quality.   Note that the environment, antenna, etc greatly affect  the  range,  see  DN018 www.ti.com/lit/swra169.  2.9 Resetting the board  The recommended reset sequence is:   Remove jumper on P1 completely   Push  one  of  the  buttons  to  discharge  the large  capacitor  on  the  power  line.  If  this capacitor  is  not  discharged,  the SmartRFCC1110-868 boards may continue to  run  the  current  application  until  the capacitor  is  discharged.  This  may  take several seconds.     Replace  the  jumper  on  P1  to  power  the board again  3  Using the CC Debugger with the Development Kit  3.1 The CC Debugger  The  CC  Debugger  connects  to  the  PC  via  a  mini  USB  and  uses  the DEBUG interface to communicate with the radio. The tool can be used for:    Programming the flash and debugging an application running on the CC1110.  The  PC  tools  available  for  these  purposes  are  the SmartRF  Flash  Programmer  from  Texas  Instruments  and  IAR Embedded Workbench for 8051 from IAR Systems.    Testing the radio performance of CC1110 using SmartRF Studio.   For  more  details,  please  refer  to  the  CC  Debugger  User’s  Guide www.ti.com/lit/swru197  and  the  CC1110  &  CC2510 Mini  Development Kit User’s Guide www.ti.com/lit/swru236.   3.2 SmartRF Studio    SmartRF Studio can be used for RF testing, evaluation of CC1110 and to find optimal register settings. It is available on www.ti.com/smartrfstudio.  3.3 Flash Programmer    The  Flash  Programmer  application,  available  on  the  kit  web  page http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/flash-programmer.html  can be used to program Intel HEX files, read the contents of CC1110 flash, and several other operations. 3.4 IAR Embedded Workbench    To  develop  software,  program  and  debug  the  CC1110,  the  IAR Embedded Workbench for 8051 is recommended. An evaluation version of IAR EW8051 is included in the kit. This free evaluation version and a free  code size  limited  version,  can  be  downloaded  from  the web,  see www.iar.com/ew8051.   A.
