9. TX: Start PER Test
The transmitter is now configured for the
PER test. The PER test is started and
stopped by moving the joystick (in any
direction). 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.
10. RX: Observe PER
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).
The receiver will also display the number of
received packets and an average RSSI
value based on the last 32 packets.
By pressing button 1, all counters on the
receiver will be reset and the receiver will
restart the PER calculations.
11. SmartRF Studio
After running the PER test, the next
recommended step is to install SmartRF
Studio and to connect the evaluation board
to the PC.
When installing SmartRF Studio, you will
also install the USB drivers required for
Studio and other tools to communicate with
the radio and the SmartRF05EB board.
SmartRF Studio can be used for RF testing
and evaluation of C2533
SmartRF Studio can be downloaded from
12. Flash Programmer
Texas Instruments has a simple tool which
can be used to program the flash on the
CC2533.
The
Flash
Programmer
application,
available on the kit web page [2], can be
used to program Intel HEX files, read the
contents of flash and several other
operations.
Programming of a CC2533 can be done
with a SmartRF05EB or a CC Debugger.
Production programming tools are available
from TI’s developer network [4].
13. IAR Embedded Workbench
To develop software, program and debug
the
CC2533,
you
should
use
IAR
Embedded Workbench for 8051.
A free, code size limited version can be
downloaded
from
the
web.

14. Packet Sniffer
In order to debug RF protocols, it is
possible to use TI’s SmartRF Packet
Sniffer.
You can use a CC2531 USB dongle or the
SmartRF05EB with a CC2530EM to
capture packets.
