Kit Overview

The SOC-BBSOC-BB is a battery board that can be used with multiProductLinkCC2510, CC1110, CC2430 and CC2431 System-on-Chip EM modules to make battery operated nodes. It can also be used with CC1100, CC1101, CC2500 transceiver EM modules and an external microcontroller board connected by SPI interface.

The battery board is a basic prototype board that, among many things, can be used to power standalone Low Power RF SoC Evaluation Modules (EM). The board provides easy access to all of the SoC’s I/O and has a separate header for the debug interface.

The main function of the SOC-BBSOC-BB is to power an EM module with two AA cell batteries. The board also contains an LED and a push button which can serve the application running on a SOC EM module mounted on this board (not included).

The push button S1 and LED D1 are provided as user interfaces and are routed to signals on the EM connector, which in turn are connected to signals on the System on Chip (not connected for transceivers).

The SOC-BBSOC-BB board is also equipped with a debug connector, allowing debugging of the application running on the SoC by using an external ICE (like the CC-Debugger [2], SmartRF04EB [4] or SmartRF05EB [3]).

Kit Features

Features of SOC-BBSOC-BB:

Connector for 1 EM
Connector for 2x AA cell batteries
The board equipped with a debug connector, allowing debugging of the application running on the SoC by using an external ICE like
- CC-Debugger [2]
- SmartRF04EB [4]
- SmartRF05EB [3]
I/O connector to access I/O pins on SoC
The push button S1 and LED D1 are provided as user interfaces and are routed to signals on the EM connector, which in turn are connected to signals on the System on Chip (not connected for transceivers).
In addition to the signals required for the debug interface (DD/DC/RESETn), there are 4 signals available (CSn, SCLK, SI, SO).
- In case TI LPRF Transceiver EM connected (e.g. CC1101EMCC1101EM, CC2500EMCC2500EM and CC2520EMCC2520EM), the 4 signals correspond to the transceiver’s SPI interface.
- In case TI LPRF SoC EM attached (e.g. CC1110EMCC1110EM, CC2510EMCC2510EM, and CC2530EMCC2530EM), the 4 signals correspond to port 1, pins 4 through 7, which is the USART1 (location alternative 2) peripheral on the SoC.
The serial peripheral can be programmed to operate in either UART or SPI mode.
