4.4.3 Wireless Evaluation Module Interface

Included in the communication peripherals are the headers that support the CC-EM boards from TI. The transceiver modules connect to the USCI of the MSP430F5529 configured in SPI mode using the UCB0 peripheral. Libraries that interface the MSP430 to these transceivers are available at www.ti.com/msp430 under the Code Examples tab. The RF PWR jumper must be populated to provide power to the EM daughterboard. The following radio daughter cards are compatible with the MSP-EXP430F5529 Experimenter's Board:

  • CC1100EMK/CC1101EMK – Sub-1-GHz radio
  • CC2500EMK – 2.4-GHz radio
  • CC2420EMK/CC2430EMK – 2.4-GHz 802.15.4 [SoC] radio
  • CC2520EMK/CC2530EMK – 2.4-GHz 802.15.4 [SoC] radio
  • CC2520 + CC2591 EM (if R4 and R8 0-Ω resistors are connected)

NOTE

Future evaluation boards may also be compatible with the header connections.
