CC1120 Development Kit Quick Start Guide

Opening the Box and Running the Packet Error Rate Test

1. Kit Contents

2 x SmartRF™Transciever EB (TrxEB)

2 x CC1120EM 868/915 MHz (EM)

2 x W5017 Pulse Antennas, ¼ wave, 2 dBi *

1 x MSP430 Debug Probe (FET)

Documentation

The boards in this kit are designed to comply

with applicable ETSI, FCC and IC regulatory

requirements.

2. TrxEB Overview

3. Plug the EM into the TrxEB

Insert a CC1120EM board into the TrxEB as

shown above. Connect the antenna firmly to the

SMA connector on the EM.

Caution! The kit contains ESD

sensitive components. Handle with

care to prevent permanent damage.

4. Select Board Mode

Use the switches S1 and S2 to select the

operating mode of the board. For the sake of this

quick start guide, please select “Enable” and

“UART”. This configuration will make it possible

to communicate directly with the MSP430 over a

virtual COM port on the PC.

5. Power Options

There are several ways of applying power to the

TrxEB.

2 x 1.5V AA Non-Rechargeable Alkaline

Batteries

USB (5V through USB plug)

External Power Supply (requirements below)

MSP430 Debugger

When the power source is batteries or USB, the

voltage regulators on the TrxEB will set the on-

board supply voltage to 3.3VDC.

External Power SupplyiRequirements:

Nom Voltage: 3.3VDC

Max Current: 800 mA

Efficiency Level V

Warning! To minimize risk of personal injury or

property damage, never use rechargeable

batteries to power the board.

6. Select Power Source

Depending on the power source, make sure you

connect jumpers to the appropriate pins on the

“Power Source” header. For instance, if you use

batteries, use a jumper to short-circuit pin 1 and

2 on the header. See back side of board for

explanation of the jumpers.

Note that there should only be one active

power source at any one time. Do not leave

the EVM powered when unattended.

7. Welcome Screen

Turn on power with the Main Power switch. You

should now see the Texas Instruments logo and

a short description of the buttons on the LCD.

Pushing any of the five buttons on the board will

take you to the main menu.

NB! If you don’t see anything on the screen

make sure the mode switches are in the

correct positions (see step 4 above).

8. Packet Error Rate Test

Select the PER (Packet Error Rate) test by

highlighting the selection using the up/down

buttons. Confirm your selection by pressing

Enter (right button).

9. Select Test Mode

The PER test can be run is several modes. Easy

Mode sets up a one-way test and uses default

settings. This test is convenient for practical

range testing.

The other test modes are described in the

“Software Examples for CC112x, CC11xL and

CC1101 User’s Guide”.

To proceed, highlight “Easy Mode” and press

Enter (right button).

10. Select Frequency

Select which frequency to use for the test. Make

sure that the evaluation modules you have

match the selected frequency.

11. Select Mode

One of the boards must operate as the slave

(transmitter) and the other as master (receiver).

Select Slave on one board…

…and Master on the other board.

12. Establish Link

The slave node will now wait for a configuration

package from the Master. The configuration

contains the parameters used for the PER test.

The configuration package will be sent when you

select “link devices” on the master node.

13. Link Established

When the initial linking has completed, the slave

node will start the test by continuously

transmitting packets to the master.

14. Start the Receiver (master)

On the master node, you can select the number

of packets you want to receive in order to

calculate the packet error.

When selecting “Start PER Test”, the master

(receiver) will begin to count the number of

received packets and provide some statistics.

15. PER Test Results

The master will display a window that plots the

received signal strength (RSSI) for each packet.

Press the “Up” button to go to the detailed

statistical window.

16. PER Test Results

The statistics window will show the error rate

based on the number of lost or erroneous

packets divided by the total number of packets

that should have been received.

17. Troubleshooting

It you are experiencing problems with this test,

please check the following:

Nothing is shown in the display! Make sure

the mode switches are in the correct

positions (see step 4 above).

Please visit the kit web page and check for

updated SW and documentation. Updated

SW can be downloaded to the device using

IAR EW430 or SmartRF Flash Programmer.

If you get poor PER results at short

distances, try to move the transmitter and

receiver further apart. The CC1120 receiver

may experience saturation if it is too close to

the other CC1120 transmitting at full output

power.

E2E forum at http://e2e.ti.com

We hope that you will enjoy working with the

CC1120 device.

SmartRF™Studio

1. Download and Install

Before connecting SmartRF TrxEB to your PC,

download and install SmartRF Studio from

www.ti.com/smartrfstudio.

2. Launch SmartRF Studio

After installing the tool, connect the EB to the PC

using the USB cable and start SmartRF Studio.

Select the “Sub 1 GHz” tab and double click the

highlighted CC1120 device icon.

3. Test the Radio

You can now configure the radio, run

performance tests, export register settings and

run link tests with another CC1120 on a

SmartRF TrxEB connected to the PC.

When using an external power supply, make sure it meets the listed requirements in addition to complying with applicable regional product regulatory and

safety certification requirements such as UL, CSA, VDE, CCC, and PSE.
