The EB+EM can be of great help during the whole development cycle for a new RF product.
-
Perform comparative studies. Compare results obtained with EB+EM with results from
your own system.
-
Perform basic functional tests of your own hardware by connecting the radio on your
board to SmartRF06EB. SmartRF Studio can be used to exercise the radio.
-
Verify your own software with known good RF hardware, by simply connecting your own
microcontroller to an EM via the EB. Test the send function by transmitting packets from
your SW and receive with another board using SmartRF Studio. Then transmit using
SmartRF Studio and receive with your own software.
-
Develop code for your SoC and use the SmartRF06EB as a standalone board without PC
tools.
The SmartRF06EB can also be used as a debugger interface to the SoCs from IAR Embedded
workbench for ARM or Code Composer Studio from Texas Instruments. For details on how to use
the SmartRF06EB to debug external targets, see chapter 7.
5.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings
The minimum and maximum operating supply voltages and absolute maximum ratings for the
active components onboard the SmartRF06EB are summarized in Table 2. Table 3 lists the
recommended operating temperature and storage temperature ratings. Please refer to the
respective component’s datasheet for further details.
