Introduction

This user guide is for BDE-RFM216-IN, a Wireless Module based on TI CC1312R. It is a quick start guide for how to connect the module with the evaluation board BDE-EVB07 or with the TI Launchpad, and how to build the first application. It also shows a demo for how BDERFM216-IN receives a data packet that is sent from another BDE-RFM216-IN.

Get Ready

The following tools are recommended to develop with BDE-RFM216-IN.
Hardware tools:

  • Two modules of BDE-RFM216-IN (BDE-RFM216-IN-BDE Technology Inc. (bdecomm.com))
  • Two BDE-ADP05 V1.0 (adaptor board)
  • PC or Laptop
  • Two BDE-EVB07 ( BDE-EVB07-BDE Technology Inc. (bdecomm.com))or
  • Two TI Launchpad (LAUNCHXL-CC13X2R1 Evaluation board | TI.com) · USB cable for power supply and debugging

Software tools:

  • Terminal software such as CCS, IAR.
  • CCS download
  • Software Development Kit (SDK)

Build Your First Application

Once have the Hardware and Software tools in place, please follow the following steps:
A. Connect the Hardware
If chose EVB07:
Use a USB cable to connect EVB07 and PC or laptop. Plug BDE-RFM216-IN with the adaptor board into the dev board and connect all the pins with Jumpers as the following picture shows.
