CC2530EMK Quick Start Guide

1. Kit Contents

2 x CC2530EM

2 x Pulse W1010 Antennas

Documentation

The RF boards in this kit are FCC and IC

certified and tested to comply with

ETSI/R&TTE standards over

temperature from 0 to +35°C. The

antenna, W1010 from Pulse, is a ¼

wave dipole antenna with 2 dBi gain.

FCC/IC Regulatory Compliance

FCC Part 15 Class A Compliant

IC ICES-003 Class A Compliant

2. Plug EM into SmartRF05EB

The CC2530EM, with the antenna

mounted on the SMA connector, can be

plugged into a SmartRF05EB. The

SmartRF05EB is included in the CC2530

Development Kit [2].

Caution! The kit contains ESD sensitive

components. Handle with care to prevent

permanent damage.

3. Configure the SmartRF05EB

Set the EM Selection switch in position

SOC/TRX. For best performance, it is

recommended to turn off the RS232 interface.

Select power source with the jumper on header

P11:

 Position 1-2: Batteries

 Position 2-3: USB or DC supply

Warning! To minimize risk of injury or property damage, never

use rechargeable batteries to power the board. Always select a

power source that is suitably rated for use with this EVM, not

exceeding 20 VDC, with a current output rating between 0

and 1500 mA. Note that there should only be one active

power source at any one time. Do not leave the EVM

powered when unattended.

4. Packet Error Rate (PER)

When power is applied to the

SmartRF05EB, the preprogrammed PER

test on the CC2530 will start running.

The LCD will display the screen as

shown in the picture above. The number

in the parentheses is the revision of the

CC2530.

Press Button 1 to

continue.

5. Select Channel

Select one of the 16 IEEE 802.15.4

channels, with channel number from 11 to

26 (2405-2480 MHz, 5 MHz channel

spacing). Select the same channel for

both boards.

The channel is selected by moving the

joystick to the right or left.

Press Button 1 to confirm the selection.

6 Set up the Receiver

Set one of the boards to operate as receiver.

Use the joystick to select mode. Confirm by

pressing Button 1.

The receiver will now wait for packets from the

transmitter.

7. Set up the Transmitter

Set the other board to operate as

transmitter. Use the joystick to select

mode. Confirm the selection by pressing

Button 1.

On the transmitter node, additional

parameters have to be set. On the next

screen, select the TX output power

(signal strength). Use the joystick to

select between -3 dBm, 0 dBm or 4 dBm.

Confirm the selection with Button 1.

8. TX: Packets and Rate

Next, select burst size (number of packets

to send) by using the joystick, either 1000,

10K, 100K or 1M packets. Confirm the

selection with Button 1.

After selecting burst size, select packet

rate; 100, 50, 20 or 10 packet per second.

Confirm the selection with Button 1.

9. TX: Start PER Test

The transmitter is now configured for the PER

test. The PER test is started and stopped by

pushing the joystick (as a button). The

transmitter will display the number of packets

sent during the PER test.

After stopping the test, it will start from the

beginning if the test is restarted.

Flash Programmer The PER test receiver will display the PER value (number of lost and erroneous packets divided by the number of packets sent, displayed as a fraction of 1000). After running the PER test, the next recommended step is to install SmartRF Studio and to connect the evaluation board to the PC. Texas Instruments has a simple tool which can be used to program the flash on the CC2530.
