2 About this manualThe manual contains reference information about the VT-CC1310-EVB.

Chapter 3 will give a quick introduction on how to get started with the VT-CC1310-EVB. It describes how to install SmartRF Studio 7 and to get the required USB drivers for the evaluation board. Chapter 4 briefly explains how the EVB can be used throughout a project’s development cycle. Chapter 5 gives an overview of the various features and functionality provided by the board.

3 Getting StartedBefore connecting the VT-CC1310-EVB to the PC via the USB connector, it is highly recommended to install the USB drivers needed for proper communication between the EVB and application PC tools. The drivers are bundled and install together with SmartRF Studio 7.

3.1 SmartRF StudioSmartRF Studio 7 is a PC application developed for evaluation of the low power RF IC products from Texas Instruments. The application is designed for use with SmartRF Evaluation Boards, such as VT-CC1310-EVB, and runs on Microsoft Windows operating systems.

SmartRF Studio 7 gives the user full overview of and access to the devices’ registers for configuration of the radio parameters and behavior. It also provides a control interface for performing operations like sending and receiving packets and setting up a continuous wave signal. In addition, it offers a flexible system for exporting radio register values to user defined format for easy integration in software.

The latest version of SmartRF Studio 7 can be downloaded from the Texas Instruments website [1].

3.2 Installing SmartRF Studio 7 and USB driversBefore your PC can communicate with the VT-CC1310-EVB over USB, you will need to install the USB drivers for the EVB. The latest SmartRF Studio 7 intaller [1] includes the required USB drivers both for Windows x86 and Windows x64 platforms.

After you have downloaded SmartRF Studio 7 from the web, extract the zip-file, run the intaller and follow the instructions. Select the complete installation to include the SmartRF Studio 7 program, the SmartRF Studio 7 documentation and the USB drivers. There are two drivers needed for EVB: Cebal and two virtual COM port drivers.

3.2.1 Cebal USB driverSmartRF PC software such as SmartRF Studio 7 uses a proprietary USB driver, Cebal, to communicate with evaluation boards. Connect your VT-CC1310-EVB to the computer with a USB cable, it auto turn on. If you did a complete install of SmartRF Studio 7, Windows will recognize the device automatically and the SmartRF XDS110 is ready for use!

For more information regarding the USB drivers, please consult the SmartRF Studio 7 documentation.

4 Using the VT-CC1310-EVBThe VT-CC1310-EVB is a flexible test and development platform that works together with RF Modules base on SimpleLink wireless microcontroller from VCHIP.

An RF Module is a small module with wireless microcontroller, balun, matching filter, antenna, and I/O connectors. The module can be plugged into the VT-CC1310-EVB which lets the PC take direct control of the wireless microcontroller on the module over the USB interface.

Currently, VT-CC1310-EVB supports:- VT-S02C Module- VT-SA02C Module

- VT-SA02D Module- VT-S03A Module

Some of the above modules come in variants combined with RF front-end. Such variants are called combo modules



and are also supported by the VT-CC1310-EVB. The PC software that controls the VT-CC1310-EVB + Module is SmartRF Studio 7. Studio can be used to perform several RF tests and measurements, e.g. to set up a Carrier Wave signal and send and receive packets.

The EVB + Module can be of great help during the whole development cycle for a new RF product.- Easy and fast evaluated the RF Module performance.- Verify your own software. Test the send function by transmitting packets from your software and receive with

another board using SmartRF Studio 7. Then transmit using SmartRF Studio 7 and receive with your own software.

- Use the VT-CC1310-EVB as a debugger interface to the SimpleLink wireless microcontroller with CCS or IAR Embedded Workbench.

- Use the VT-CC1310-EVB as a programmer interface to the SimpleLink wireless microcontroller with Flash Programmer 2.

5 VT-CC1310-EVB OverviewVT-CC1310-EVB acts as the motherboard for RF Modules from VCHIP. The board has several user interfaces and connections to external interfaces, allowing fast prototyping and testing of both software and hardware.

This chapter will give an overview of the general architecture of the board and describe the available I/O. The following sub-section will explain the I/O in more detail. Pin connections between the EVB I/O and RF Module can be found in section 5.5.



Figure 4 –VT-CC1310-EVB overview

5.1 XDS110The XDS110 [2] is the latest entry level debug probe (emulators) for TI embedded processors. Designed to be a complete solution that delivers JTAG and SWD connectivity at a low cost, the XDS110 is the debug probe of choice for entry-level debugging of TI microcontrollers, processors and SimpleLink devices.

The XDS110 supports the traditional JTAG as well as cJTAG and ARM Serial Wire Debug (SWD)/Serial Wire Output (SWO) and operates with interface levels of +1.8V up to +3.6V.

Serial Wire Debug (SWD) is a debug mode that uses two pins (JTAG uses four) and transfers data at a higher clock rate when compared to JTAG. Serial Wire Output (SWO) adds one more pin that allows performing simple Trace operations on selected Cortex M4 microcontrollers.

The XDS110 supports either USB2.0 Full Speed (11Mbps) or High Speed (480Mbps) connection to the host.

There is a Micro USB Connector can be used to connect the XDS110 to PC. Jumpers connected in default for the RF Module debugging. Another choice that can use the XDS110 Interface to connected external RF Module for debugging.

5.2 Serial FlashVT-CC1310-EVB has a W25Q80DVSSIG flash device – a 1M-byte serial flash memory from Winbond [3]. The device

Table 2 –Debugging LEDs state description

5.4 ButtonsThere are three buttons on the VT-CC1310-EVB. Status of Buttion-1 and Buttion-2 can be read by the plugged RF Module. These buttons are intended for user interfacing and development of demo application.

The Button-3 resets the plugged RF Module by pulling its reset line low.

5.5 RF Module ConnectorThe RF Module Connector is used for connecting a RF Module to the VT-CC1310-EVB. The connector if the main interface and is designed to avoid incorrect mounting of the RF Module.

The signals from the RF Module are primarily breakout. Some of the signals are also connected to the XDS110 debugger in order to allow control of the RF Module from the PC with SmartRF Studio 7.
