1 Introduction

The CC2533 RF4CE Basic development kit (part # CC2533DK-RF4CE-BA) allows you to evaluate RF4CE remote controls and develop applications based on the RF4CE standard. The main components of the development kit are a complete RF remote control and a target module that can be connected to A/V equipments or TV’s.
The development kit also includes the RemoTI software, this software package includes software and tools required to develop your own remote controls. The CC Debugger is used for programming and debugging all Chipcon products from Texas Instruments.

2 About this manual

This manual covers the hardware of the CC2533 RF4CE Basic development kit. To use the development kit the RemoTI software must be downloaded from http://www.ti.com/remoTI. Separate manuals cover the RemoTI target emulator PC software and the software development suite.
The complete schematics and layout files for the remote control and the target module is available from http://www.ti.com/remoTI. The CC2533EM module reference design files is available at http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/cc2533emk.html

4.2 The CC2533 Remote Control

The remote control is powered by 2xAA batteries included with the development kit.
Figure 1 shows the key layout of the remote control with some of the important keys.
- Pairing key, pair the remote control with the target
- Packet error rate key, used to start the packet error rate mode. Use this mode to test range and RF quality. See the RemoTI Sample Application Users Guide (SWRU201)

for instructions to run the PER and latency test, and the RemoTI Latency and Packet Error Rate Application Note (SWRA262) for sample measurements.
- On/Off, switches power on the target. Note that most applications can still receive remote control commands when powered off, but the latency is longer

4.3 The Target Module

The target module includes the following features and interfaces:
- Virtual serial port USB interface to allow using a COM port on a PC
- I2C/SPI/UART interface for connection to A/V equipment
- Flash memory for storage of Over the air (OAD) images and IR codes
- 1 channel IR drivers and LED for IR repeater function
- IR sensor input
o Learning IR code functionality o Direct translation of IR codes to RF commands
- Buttons for reset and pairing
- Status LEDs
The target module is powered from the USB interface connected to a PC or a power adapter with USB interface.
