RemoTITM CC2530 Development Kit - Quick Start Guide

STEP 1 – Download and Install the RemoTI Software

This Quick Start Guide provides instructions for software installation,
configuration and the procedure to run the out-of-the-box
ZigBee RF4CE remote control demo

The RemoTITM development kit components are pre-programmed
with the appropriate sample applications

The demo requires a PC tool and driver that are included in
The RemoTITM software installer. To register and download, go
to http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/remoti.html and
download RemoTI-CC2530DK-<version>.exe (SWRC131)

Install the software by following the install instructions. The default
Installation directory is C:\Texas Instruments\RemoTI-CC2530DK-<version>\...

STEP 2 – Connect the Target Board to the PC

Plug the CC2530EM into the target board EM connector and connect the
antenna

Connect the mini-USB cable to the target board and to an USB port on the PC

Note. The CC2531 USB dongle in this kit can be used instead of the target
board. See Section 4.2 in the Target Emulator User’s Guide (SWRU202) for
instructions. The remainder of this Quick Start Guide provides the instructions
for the target board

STEP 3 – Associate the Target Board with an USB Driver

The first time the target board is connected to a PC the new
USB device will be detected

Windows will start the “New Hardware Found Wizard” and try
to associate the device with an USB driver

When prompted, select “Install from a list or specific
location”

On the next screen select the driver located at:

C:\Texas Instruments\RemoTI-CC2530DK­<version>\Tools\Driver

The RemoTI Hardware User’s Guide (SWRU211) contains
more information about the driver installation process

After the driver is installed the target module will be
assigned a COM port. To see the COM port number,
open the Windows Control panel – System – Hardware
– Device Manager and check the COM port number
under Ports (COM and LPT). The target board will be
listed as a TUSB3410 Device, (COM69 in this example)
