Abstract

A common issue with developing a new system from start based on transceivers is how to test the various parts of the system either by themselves or as part of the entire system.

Texas Instruments provides a very powerful and comprehensive tool called SmartRF™ Studio 7, which enables testing of all our devices; however, in some cases, the hardware requirements for the system to operate may not be available or using a PC may not be the preferred way to performing testing.

The software described in this application report provides a simple alternative in these use cases. The software is based on basic drivers already developed for MSP430’s to implement a simple UART-based test system.
