• Transmit a carrier wave
• Gather RSSI information

Software Prerequisites

• Code Composer Studio™ (CCS) v12.7 or newer

• SimpleLink™ LOWPOWER SDK

Functional Description

Software Overview

This section describes the software components and the corresponding source files.

Application Files

• rf_test.c: Contains the TX/RX initialization and RSSI function call.

Configuration With SysConfig

SysConfig is a GUI configuration tool that allows for TI driver and stack configurations.

To configure using SysConfig, import the SysConfig-enabled project into CCS. Double click the *.syscfg file from the CCS project explorer, where * is the name of the example project. The SysConfig GUI window will appear, where Zigbee stack and TI driver configurations can be adjusted. These settings will be reflected in the generated files.

The example project comes with working default settings for SysConfig. For the purposes of this README, it is not recommended to change the default driver settings, as any changes may impact the functionality of the example. The Zigbee stack settings may be changed as required for your use case.

Note that some Zigbee settings are stored in non-volatile storage, and Zigbee prioritizes stored settings over SysConfig settings. To guarantee SysConfig settings are applied, perform a factory reset of the device to clear non-volatile storage.
