7. Packet Sniffer (1)
Launch the Packet Sniffer. A dialog
will request the user to select a
protocol. The CC1111 capture
device can be used with the
SimpliciTI or the Generic (no
parsing) protocols. A new window
will appear.
The USB dongle should be listed
with chip type CC1111 and EB type
CC1111
USB dongle in the
“Capturing Device” tab.
Highlight the device to make it your
capture device.
8. Packet Sniffer (2)
Next,
select the Radio
Configuration tab and make sure
the radio registers on the device
are set according to the format of
the radio signals you are sniffing.
If this is the first time you use the
tool, press the browse button to
locate a .prs file with packet sniffer
register settings for CC1111.
You can generate your own .prs
files with the “Register Export”
function in SmartRF Studio
9. Packet Sniffer (3)
Finally, press the small “play” icon
on the tool bar to start sniffing
packets.
If there are radio packets on the
air, and the CC1111 has the
appropriate radio settings, the
captured packets will be displayed
in the packet sniffer
display
window.
Enjoy!
10. Developing USB Software
A good start for developing your
own USB application for the
CC1111 USB dongle would be the
“CC USB Firmware Library and
Examples” software package.
The Library contains a complete
USB framework that allows the
user to develop any USB device
type.
Examples showing
implementations of a HID device
and a CDC device are included.
The software can be downloaded
from the CC1111EMK web page or
directly from
www.ti.com/lit/zip/swrc088
11. Development Tools
The preferred tool for developing
software for CC1111 and for single
stepping and debugging is IAR
Embedded Workbench for 8051.
A free, code size limited version
can be downloaded from the web.
