swru209b 1 Introduction Thank you for purchasing the CC2530 ZigBee Development Kit. The CC2530 is Texas Instrument’s second generation ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 compliant System-onChip with an optimized 8051 MCU core and radio for the 2.4 GHz unlicensed ISM/SRD band. This device enables industrial grade applications by offering state-of-the-art noise immunity, excellent link budget, operation up to 125 degrees and low voltage operation.

swru209b 4 ZigBee Development Kit contents The CC2530 ZigBee Development Kit (CC2530ZDK) includes hardware and software that allows quick testing of the CC2530 RF performance and offers a complete platform for development of advanced prototype RF systems and ZigBee applications. Evaluate the CC2530 and ZigBee right out of the box. The kit can be used to demonstrate a small sensor network application using ZigBee and the CC2530.
swru209b SmartRF05EB The SmartRF05EB (evaluation board) is the main board in the kit with a wide range of user interfaces: 3x16 character serial LCD Full speed USB 2.0 interface UART LEDs Serial Flash Potentiometer Joystick Buttons The EB is the platform for the evaluation modules (EM) and can be connected to the PC via USB to control the EM.
swru209b 5 Getting started 5.1 Setting up the hardware After opening the kit, make sure you have all components. Please contact your TI Sales Representative or TI Support [17] if anything is missing. Start by connecting the antennas to the SMA connector on the RF evaluation boards. Tighten the antenna’s screw firmly on to the SMA connector. If not properly connected, you might see reduced RF performance. It is also possible to connect the EM board to RF instruments via coax cables.
swru209b External regulated power source (not included in this kit) The power source can be selected using jumper P11 on the SmartRF05EB. The SmartRF05EB User’s Guide [6] provides more details. The SmartRF05 Battery Boards (BB) can be used as a standalone device when equipped with a CC2530EM. This board is powered by AA batteries. See section 10 in this document for more information about the SmartRF05BB. After assembling the hardware, you now have several options for working with the CC2530: 5.
swru209b PC. SmartRF Studio also offers a flexible code export function of radio register settings for software developers. Before proceeding, please download and install the latest version of SmartRF Studio from the web [2]. By installing Studio, the USB drivers needed for proper interaction between the PC and the hardware of the CC2530DK will also be installed. In order to use the SmartRF Studio with CC2530, connect the CC2530EM to the SmartRF05EB.
swru209b Figure 4 - CC2530 control panel in SmartRF Studio Figure 4 shows the main control panel for the CC2530. It lets you perform a number of operations: Run TX Test modes for testing of RF output power and spectrum; e.g. by connecting a spectrum analyser or a power meter to the CC2530EM SMA connector to perform RF measurements. Run Packet TX and RX tests. For this test, you should have two EBs with CC2530EMs connected to the PC.
swru209b 5.5 Developing your own software with the CC2530 To develop software and debug an application on the CC2530, it is recommended to use IAR Embedded Workbench. It supports debugging of CC2530 through the SmartRF05EB, so no additional hardware is required.
swru209b 6 RF Testing NB! When running RF performance tests, it is recommended to disable all other peripherals on the SmartRF05EB in order to avoid unwanted noise on the on-board voltage. In particular, make sure the RS232 level converter/line driver is disabled. RF testing can be performed by using SmartRF Studio together with the Development Kit. The basic set-up is described in section 5.4.
swru209b 6.2 RX Parameter Testing Basics To investigate the RX performance of the CC2530, you can use a signal generator or “Packet TX” in SmartRF Studio (with another EB+EM) to generate the packets to receive. The receiver can be configured by using the “Packet RX” test feature in SmartRF Studio.

The module is equipped with a 32 MHz crystal, a 32.

To use the dongle as a sniffer, just install the Packet Sniffer PC application (available on the web [4]), plug in the USB dongle and start capturing packets.
swru209b Figure 8 - CC2531 USB Dongle connected to SmartRF05EB The debug connector on the CC2531 USB Dongle matches the debug connector on the SmartRF05EB (and the CC Debugger). Note that, by default, the CC2531 dongle is not powered through the debug connector, so an external power source must be used while programming. The easiest solution is to connect it to a USB port on the PC. Alternatively, resistor R2 can be mounted. The table below shows the pin out of the debug connector.
swru209b 9 SmartRF05 Evaluation Board The SmartRF05 Evaluation Board is thoroughly described in the SmartRF05EB User’s Guide [6]. That document will describe the hardware features in detail and provide the schematics for the board.
swru209b 10 SmartRF05 Battery Board 256kB SPI Flash Module EM Connectors LEDs Joystick Probe Connectors EM Selection Switch Power Switch Push Buttons Figure 9 SmartRF05 Battery Board The SmartRF05 Battery Board is a smaller and simpler board than the SmartRF05EB. The Battery Board can together with an EM be used as a standalone node. Figure 9 shows the SmartRF05 Battery Board. The Battery Board is powered with 2 AA batteries placed in the battery connectors underneath the board.
swru209b 10.1 Joystick The joystick detects five positions (centre, up, down, left, right) and one event (pushed). The two aggregated signals, JOY_MOVE and JOY_LEVEL, are used to detect a joystick event when using a SoC (e.g. the CC2530). JOY_MOVE is high whenever the joystick is moved away from the centre position, including pushing. The other signal, JOY_LEVEL, is a voltage level signal that gives different values depending on the current position of the joystick. The table below shows these values.

swru209b Figure 11 - Switch P8 effect on LED 1-4 Due to lack of pins, some of the signals are shared. The chip select signal to the EM will also be affected when LED3 is used by the SoC (e.g. CC2530). In most cases, this will not be a problem, since the SoC does not, by default, implement a SPI slave. When LED4 is used by the SoC, the signal from Button 1 might interfere. In short, Button 1 and LED 4 can not be used simultaneously by the SoC.
swru209b 10.4 Probe connectors The probe connectors P4 and P5 bring out all the signals from the EM connectors for probing purposes. The connectors allow easy access to I/O signals and to connect prototyping boards. The pin-out of these connectors are shown below.

In addition GND and +3.3V shall be connected. Figure 14 SmartRF05BB SoC Debug Connector As seen on Figure 14 also the SPI signals CS, MISO, MOSI and SCLK can be found on this connector. 10.
swru209b 11 Frequently Asked Questions Q1 When connecting the SmartRF05EB to my PC via USB, the dialog window below appears. Why? What should I do? A1 The SmartRF05EB will be recognized as a USB device by the operating system, and it will ask the user to provide information about which USB driver that should be associated with the device. If you have installed SmartRF Studio, just follow the instructions and select “Automatic installation”. Windows should find the required driver (cebal2.
swru209b Q3 How can I measure the current consumption of the CC2530? A3 The easiest way to measure current consumption of the chip in various modes is to connect the EM directly to the SmartRF05EB and disconnect everything on the board that consumes power by removing all jumpers. The jumper on header P13 should not be removed. Connect the ampere meter between the two terminals on P15. On P10, the jumper for the EM_RESET signal (connector 35-36) should be mounted.
