CC2530-CC2592EM Development Kit Quick Start Guide
Opening the Box and Running the Packet Error Rate Test
• 2 x CC2530-CC2592 EM
• 2 x 2.4GHz Antennas
• Documentation
Caution! The kit
contains ESD sensitive
components. Handle with
care to prevent
permanent damage.
Set the EM Selection switch in the
position SOC/TRX.
For best performance, it is recommended
to turn off the RS232 interface.
5. Packet Error Rate Setup
The CC2530-CC2592EM is an add-on
module that can be plugged onto a
SmartRF05EB. To run the example in this
Quick Start Guide, two SmartRF05 boards
are required to establish an RF link
between the evaluation modules.
More information about SmartRF05EB can
be found here: www.ti.com/lit/pdf/swru210
There are a few ways of applying power to
the SmartRF05 board.
• 2 x 1.5V AA Alkaline Batteries
• USB
• External Power Supply
For the batteries and USB, there are
voltage regulators on the SmartRF05
board that will set the on-board voltage to
3.3V. The external power supply should
set a voltage that does not exceed 3.3V.
Note that there should be only one
active power source at any given time.
The CC2530-CC2592EM can also be plugged
into the SmartRF05 battery boards for
standalone applications.
Select power source with jumper on header
P11:
• Position 1-2 Batteries
• Position 2-3 USB or DC supply.
Once P11 is set, locate P8 switch on
Smart05EB to power up the board.
After power up, the preloaded PER test
application on the CC2530 will start. The
LCD will display the screen as shown in
the picture above. The number in the
parentheses is the revision of the
CC2530. Press Button S1 to enter the
menu.
Note: if you don’t see anything on the
screen make sure the board is
correctly powered (see step 5 and 6
above).
Select a channel between 11 and 26
(2405- 2480 MHz). The channel is
selected by navigating the joystick to the
right or left. Confirm the selection by
pressing Button S1.

3. Test the Radio
For the receiver select LNA gain on the
CC2592 with the joystick. Either high gain
or low gain mode are possible settings.
Normally, high gain mode should be
selected. Confirm the selection with
Button S1. The receiver is now ready to
receive packets.
11. TX: Select Packet Rate
Select packet rate (number of packets
transmitted per second) on the
transmitter. Confirm the selection with
Button S1.
14. SmartRF Studio
SmartRF® Studio supports the CC2530CC2592. When the board is connected to
the SmartRF05EB, it is possible to tick
the CC2591 box in the “Range Extender”
pane.
Studio will then make sure that I/O on the
CC2530 is set up for proper control of the
CC2592.
On the transmitter node, select the TX
output power (signal strength).Use the
joystick (move right or left) to select the
output power in dBm. Confirm the
selection with Button S1.
The transmitter is now configured for the
PER test. The PER test is started by
pushing the joystick (as a button). The
transmitter will display the number of
packets sent during the PER test. The
PER test is stopped by pushing the
joystick again.
Please visit www.ti.com and

On the kit product page, you will find
additional documentation, links to updated
software examples and software tools like
SmartRF Studio.
You will also find a lot of information on the
TI E2E forum at http://e2e.ti.com
We hope that you will enjoy working
with the CC2530-CC2592 combo
design.
Select burst size (number of packets to send)
by moving the joystick right or left. Confirm the
selection with Button S1.
The PER test receiver will display the PER
value (number of lost and erroneous packets
divided by the total number of packets sent,
displayed as a fraction of 1000). It will also
display a moving average RSSI value
(received signal strength). The test can be
reset by pressing Button S1.
It you are experiencing problems with this test,
please check the following:
• Nothing is shown in the display! Make
sure the board is powered correctly.
Please visit the kit web page and check for
updated SW and documentation.
Before connecting SmartRF05EB to your
PC, download and install SmartRF Studio
from www.ti.com/smartrfstudio.
After installing the tool, connect the EB
to the PC using the USB cable and start
SmartRF Studio. Select the “2.4 GHz”
tab and double click the highlighted
CC2530 device icon.
You can now configure the radio, run
performance tests, export register settings
and run link tests with another CC2530 on a
SmartRF05EB connected to the PC.
