SWRU301
2.3 System Requirements
To use the TI BLE software, a PC running Microsoft Windows (XP or later; 32-bit support only) is required,
as well as Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or greater.
In order to check whether your system has the appropriate .NET Framework, open up the Windows
Control Panel, and select “Add or Remove Programs”. Amongst the list of currently installed programs,
you should see “Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1”, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3 System Requirements, .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
If you do not see it in the list, you can download the framework from Microsoft.
From a hardware standpoint, the Windows PC must contain at least one, and up to three, free USB ports.
With one free port, a single CC2540/41 device can be flashed or debugged, or the BLE sniffer can be used.
In order to simultaneously flash or debug both evaluation modules (EMs) while running the BLE sniffer
software, three USB ports are required.
IAR Embedded Workbench for 8051 development environment is required in order to make changes to
the BLE software. More information on IAR can be found in the Texas Instruments Bluetooth® Low Energy
Software Developer’s Guide [3].
For the CC2541EMK, it is required to use SmartRF05 Boards Rev. 1.8.1 or later. More information about
the SmartRF05EB can be found in www.ti.com/lit/swru210. The CC2541EM boards can also be plugged
into a battery board (see www.ti.com/tool/soc-bb) for standalone operation.

3. Getting Started with the SimpleBLE Demo
3.1 Hardware Setup
Connect the antennas to the SMA connectors on the EMs.
Tighten the antenna’s screw firmly on to the SMA connector.
If not properly connected, you might see reduced RF
performance. Next, mount the EMs firmly on to connectors
P5 and P6 on the SmartRF05EB.
3.2 Power Options
There are several ways of applying power to the SmartRF05EB.
2 x 1.5 V AA Batteries
USB
External Power Supply
For the batteries and USB, there are voltage regulators on the SmartRF05EB that will set the on-board
voltage to 3.3 V. The external power supply should set a voltage that does not exceed 3.3 V.
Note that there should only be one active power source at any time. To minimize risk of personal injury or
property damage, never use rechargeable batteries to power the board.
3.3 Power the Boards
Find jumper P11 on the top side of each SmartRF05EB. This jumper is used to set
the power source for the board. Set P11 to “1-2” if you are using battery power. Set
P11 to “2-3” if you are using USB or an external power supply.
Once you have set P11, find switch P8 on the top side of each SmartRF05EB. To
power up the boards, flip the switch from the “OFF” to “ON”.
3.4 Start-up Screen
One of the EMs will be pre-loaded with the SimpleBLECentral application, while the other will be preloaded with the SimpleBLEPeripheral application. The LCD screens on the two SmartRF05EBs should
display messages similar to those below:
The “0x…” value displayed on each board is the device address. Every CC2540/41 device has a unique
address.
3.5 Using the Joystick
The SimpleBLEPeripheral application runs autonomously and does not
require any user interaction. The SimpleBLECentral application, however,
requires user interaction by means of joystick U1. Find joystick U1 on the
top side of the SmartRF05EB, immediately below the LCD. The joystick
has five different movements: it can be moved up, down, left, right, and
it can be pressed in, just like a button. Each movement performs
different actions depending on the state of the device.
Page 7 of 32
SWRU301
3.6 Device Discovery
Before the two devices can connect, the central device must first discover the
peripheral device. To perform device discovery, press up on joystick U1 once. The
LCD on the central device should display “Discovering…”.
After a few seconds, it should display “Devices Found 1 / All Programs > Texas Instruments >
Bluetooth-LE-1.1b > BTool. On Start-up you should be able to set the Serial Port Settings. Set the “Port”
value to the COM port earlier noted in Section 4.2. For the other settings, use the default values as shown
in Figure 7. Press “OK” to connect to the Host Board.
Figure 7 BTool, Serial Port settings
When connected you should see the screen presented in Figure 8. The screen indicates that you now have
a serial port connection to the Host Board. The screen is divided up into a few sections: the left sidebar
contains information on the Host Board status. The left side of the sub-window contains a log of all
messages sent from the PC to the Host Board and received by the PC from the Host Board. The right side
of the sub-window contains a GUI for control of the Host Board.

4.4 Creating a BLE Connection between Central and Peripheral Devices
At this point the central device (connected to the PC) is ready to discover other BLE devices that are
advertising. If you have left the SimpleBLEPeripheral application running on one SmartRF05EB, you should
be ready to use BTool. As long as the SmartRF05EB running the SimpleBLEPeripheral is powered up and
un-connected, it should be in discoverable (advertising) mode.
4.4.1 Scanning for Devices
Press the “Scan” button under the “Discover / Connect” tab as shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9 BTool, Scan for Devices
The central device will begin search for other BLE devices. As devices are found, the log on the left side of
the screen will display the devices discovered. After 10 seconds, the device discovery process will
complete, and the central device will stop scanning. A summary of all the scanned devices will be
displayed in the log window. In the example in Figure 10, one peripheral device was discovered while
scanning. If you do not want to wait through the full 10 seconds of scanning, the “Cancel” button can be
pressed alternatively, which will stop the device discovery process. The address of any scanned devices
will appear in the “Slave BDA” section of the “Link Control” section in the bottom right corner of the subwindow.
Figure 10 BTool, Slave Address

SWRU301
4.4.2 Selecting Connection Parameters
Before establishing a connection, you will want to set up the desired connection parameters. The default
values of 100ms connection interval, 0 slave latency, and 20000ms supervision timeout should serve as a
good starting point; however for different applications you may want to experiment with these values.
Once the desired values have been set, be sure to click the “Set” button; otherwise the settings will not be
saved. Note that the connection parameters must be set before a connection is established; changing the
values and clicking the “Set” button while a connection is active will not change the settings of an active
connection. The connection must be terminated and re-established to use the new parameters. (The
Bluetooth specification does support connection parameter updates while a connection is active; however
this must be done using either an L2CAP connection parameter update request, or using a direct HCI
command. More information can be found in the Specification of the Bluetooth System [6])
Figure 11 BTool, Connection Settings
4.4.3 Establishing a Connection
To establish a connection with the peripheral device, select the address of the device to connect with, and
click the “Establish” button as shown in Figure 12.
Figure 12 BTool, Establish Connection
If the set of connection parameters are invalid (for example, if the combination of connection parameters
violates the specification), the message window will return a “GAP_EstablishLink” event message with a
“Status” value of “0x12 (Not setup properly to perform that task)”, as shown in Figure 13. The parameters
will have to be corrected before a connection can be established.
Figure 13, BTool, Invalid Connection Parameters
As long as the peripheral is powered-up and still in discoverable mode, a connection should be
established immediately. Once a connection is established, the message window will return a
“GAP_EstablishLink” event message with a “Status” value of “0x00 (Success)”:
Page 14 of 32
SWRU301
Figure 14 BTool, Link Established
The LCD screen on the peripheral SmartRF05EB should display “Connected”. In BTool, you can see your
connected peripheral device in the Device Information field, as shown in Figure 15.
Figure 15 BTool, Device Information
4.5 Using the Simple GATT Profile
The SimpleBLEPeripheral software contains one sample GATT service profile (More information on the
SimpleGATTProfile can be found in the Texas Instruments Bluetooth® Low Energy Software Developer’s
Guide [3]). GATT services contain data values known as “characteristic values”. All application data that is
being sent or received in BLE must be contained within characteristic value. This section details a step-bystep process that demonstrates several processes for reading, writing, discovering, and notifying GATT
characteristic values using BTool.
Note that the types (UUIDs) of the five characteristic values (0xFFF1, 0xFFF2, 0xFFF3, 0xFFF4, and
0xFFF5), as well as the simple profile primary service UUID value (0xFFF0), do not conform to any
specifications in the Bluetooth SIG. They are simply used as a demonstration.
The tables in Figure 16 and Figure 17 below show the SimpleBLEPeripheral complete attribute table, and
can be used as a reference. Services are shown in yellow, characteristics are shown in blue, and
characteristic values / descriptors are shown in grey. When working with the SimpleBLEPeripheral
application, it might be useful to print out the table as a reference.

Figure 17 SimpleBLEPeripheral Attribute Table
4.5.1 Reading a Characteristic Value by UUID
The first characteristic of the SimpleGATTProfile service has both read and write permissions, and has a
UUID of 0xFFF1. The simplest way to read its value is to use the “Read Characteristic by UUID” subprocedure. To do this, you will first need to click the “Read / Write” tab in BTool. Select the option “Read
Using Characteristic UUID” under the “Sub-Procedure” option in the “Characteristic Read” section at the
top of the screen. Enter “F1:FF” (note that the LSB is entered first, and the MSB is entered last) in the
“Characteristic UUID” box, and click the “Read” button as shown in Figure 18.
An attribute protocol Read by Type Request packet gets sent over the air from the central device to the
peripheral device, and an attribute protocol Read by Type Response packet gets sent back from the
peripheral device to the central device. The value “01” is displayed in the “Value” box, and “Success” is
displayed in the “Status” box. In addition, the message window will display information on the Read by
Type Response packet that was received by the central device. The message includes not only the
characteristic’s data value, but also the handle of the characteristic value (0x0022 in this case).

SWRU301
Figure 18 BTool, Read a Characteristic Value by UUID
4.5.2 Writing a Characteristic Value
In the previous section, the handle of the first characteristic in the SimpleGATTProfile was found to be
0x0022. Knowing this, and based on the fact that the characteristic has both read and write permissions,
it is possible for us to write a new value. Enter “0x0022” into the “Characteristic Value Handle” box in the
“Characteristic Write” section, and enter any 1-byte value in the “Value” section (the format can be set to
either “Decimal” or “Hex”). Click the “Write” button as shown in Figure 19.
An attribute protocol Write Request packet gets sent over the air from the central device to the peripheral
device, and an attribute protocol Write Response packet gets sent back from the peripheral device to the
central device. The status box will display “Success”, indicating that the write was successful.
Figure 19 BTool, Write a Characteristic Value
Page 18 of 32
SWRU301
The LCD screen on the peripheral SmartRF05EB should display “Char 1:”, and the value written in decimal
format.
4.5.3 Reading a Characteristic Value by Handle
After writing a new value to the first characteristic in the profile, we can read the value back to verify the
write. This time, instead of reading the value by its UUID, the value will be read by its handle. Select the
option “Read Characteristic Value / Descriptor” under the “Sub-Procedure” option in the “Characteristic
Read” section. Enter “0x0022” in the “Characteristic Value Handle” box, and click the “Read” button as
shown in Figure 20.
An attribute protocol Read Request packet gets sent over the air from the central device to the peripheral
device, and an attribute protocol Read Response packet gets sent back from the peripheral device to the
central device. The new value is displayed in the “Value” box, and “Success” is displayed in the “Status”
box. This value should match the value that was written in the previous step.
Figure 20 BTool, Read a Characteristic Value by Handle
4.5.4 Discovering a Characteristic by UUID
The next thing to do is to discover a characteristic by its UUID. By doing this, we will not only get the
handle of the UUID, but we will also get the properties of the characteristic. The UUID of the second
characteristic in the SimpleGATTProfile is 0xFFF2. Select the option “Discover Characteristic by UUID”
under the “Sub-Procedure” option in the “Characteristic Read” section at the top of the screen. Enter
“F2:FF” in the “Characteristic UUID” box, and click the “Read” button as shown in Figure 21.
A series of attribute protocol Read by Type Request packets get sent over the air from the central device
to the peripheral device, and for each request an attribute protocol Read by Type Response packet gets
sent back from the peripheral device to the central device. Essentially, the central device is reading every
attribute on the peripheral device with a UUID of 0x2803 (this is the UUID for a characteristic declaration
as defined in Specification of the Bluetooth System [6]), and checking the “Characteristic Value UUID”
portion of each declaration to see if it matches type 0xFFF2. The procedure is complete once every
characteristic declaration has been read.
The procedure will find one instance of the characteristic with type 0xFFF2, and display “02 25 00 F2 FF”
(the value of the declaration) in the “Value” box, with “Success” displayed in the “Status” box. As per the
Bluetooth specification, the first byte “02” tells us that the properties of the characteristic are read-only.
The second and third bytes “25 00” tell us that the handle of the characteristic value is 0x0025. The fourth
and fifth bytes tell the UUID of the characteristic, 0xFFF2.
Page 19 of 32
SWRU301
Figure 21 BTool, Discover a Characteristic by UUID
4.5.5 Reading Multiple Characteristic Values
It is also possible to read multiple characteristic values with one request, as long as the handle of each
value is known. To read the values of both of the characteristics that we previously read, select the option
“Read Multiple Characteristic Values” under the “Sub-Procedure” option in the “Characteristic Read”
section at the top of the screen. Enter “0x0022;0x0025” in the “Characteristic Value Handle” box, and
click the “Read” button as shown in Figure 22.
An attribute protocol Read Multiple Request packet gets sent over the air from the central device to the
peripheral device, and an attribute protocol Read Multiple Response packet gets sent back from the
peripheral device to the central device. The values of the two characteristics are displayed in the “Value”
box, and “Success” is displayed in the “Status” box. This first byte should match the value that was written
in the previous step, and the second byte should be “02”.
One important note about reading multiple characteristic values in a single request is that the response
will not parse the separate values. This means that the size of each value being read must be fixed, and
must be known by the client. In the example here, this is not an issue since there are only two bytes in the
response; however care must be taken when using this command.

SWRU301
Figure 22 BTool, Read Multiple Characteristic Values
4.5.6 Enabling Notifications
In BLE, it is possible for a GATT server device to “push” characteristic value data out to a client device,
without being prompted with a read request. This process is called a “characteristic value notification”.
Notifications are useful in that they allow a device in a BLE connection to send out as much or as little
data as required at any point in time. In addition, since no request from the client is required, the
overhead is reduced and the data is transmitted more efficiently. The SimpleBLEPeripheral software
contains an example in which notifications can be demonstrated.
The third characteristic in the SimpleGATTProfile has write-only properties, while the fourth characteristic
in the profile has notify-only properties. Every five seconds, the SimpleBLEPeripheral application will take
the value of the third characteristic and copy it into the fourth characteristic. Each time the fourth
characteristic value gets set by the application, the profile will check to see if notifications are enabled. If
they are enabled, the profile will send a notification of the value to the client device.
Before notifications can be enabled, the handle of the fourth characteristic must be found. This can be
done by using the “Discover Characteristic by UUID” process (see section 4.5.4), with the UUID value set
to “F4:FF”. The procedure will find one instance of the characteristic with type 0xFFF4, and display “10 2B
00 F4 FF” (the value of the declaration) in the “Value” box, with “Success” displayed in the “Status” box.
As per the Bluetooth specification, the first byte “10” tells us that the properties of the characteristic are
notify-only. The second and third bytes “2B 00” tell us that the handle of the characteristic value is
0x002B. The fourth and fifth bytes tell the UUID of the characteristic, 0xFFF4.
In order to enable notifications, the client device must write a value of 0x0001 to the client characteristic
configuration descriptor for the particular characteristic. The handle for the client characteristic
configuration descriptor immediately follows the characteristic value’s handle. Therefore, a value of
0x0001 must be written to handle 0x002C. Enter “0x002C” into the “Characteristic Value Handle” box in
the “Characteristic Write” section, and enter “01:00” in the “Value” section (note that the LSB is entered
first, and the MSB is entered last). Click the “Write Value” button. The status box will display “Success”,
indicating that the write was successful.
Every five seconds, an attribute protocol Handle Value Notification packet gets sent from the peripheral
device to the central device. With each notification, the value of the characteristic at handle is displayed
in the log window.
Page 21 of 32
SWRU301

Figure 23 BTool, Enable Notifications
The value should be “03” in each notification, since it is copied from the value of the third characteristic in
the profile (which has a default value of 3). The third characteristic has write-only properties, and
therefore can be changed. By following the procedure from section 4.5.4, the handle of the third
characteristic can be found to be 0x0028. By following the procedure from section 4.5.2, a new value can
be written to handle 0x0028. The LCD screen on the peripheral SmartRF05EB should display “Char 3:”,
and the value written in decimal format. Once the write is complete, the value of the fourth characteristic
will change. This new value is reflected in the incoming notification messages.
Figure 24 BTool, Write Value to Trigger Notification
Page 22 of 32
SWRU301
It is important to note that the simple GATT profile included with the BLE development kit does not
conform to any standard profile specification available from the Bluetooth SIG. The profile, including
the GATT characteristic definition, the UUID values, and the functional behavior, was developed by
Texas Instruments for use with the CC2540DK or CC2542EMK development kit, and is intended as a
demonstration of the capabilities of the Bluetooth low energy protocol.
4.6 Using BLE Security
BTool also includes the ability to make use of security features in BLE, including encryption,
authentication, and bonding.
4.6.1 Encrypting the Connection
The SimpleGATTProfile contains a fifth characteristic with a UUID of 0xFFF5. Like the second
characteristic, this characteristic has read-only permissions; however this characteristic can only be read if
the link is encrypted.
Using the same discovery process as before with the “Discover Characteristic by UUID” command, it can
be determined that the handle of the fifth characteristic value is 0x002F. If you attempt to read this
characteristic, however, an error will occur with a status of “INSUFFICIENT_ENCRYPTION”.
To encrypt the link, the pairing process must be initiated. Click on the “Pairing / Bonding” tab in BTool. In
the “Initiate Pairing” section at the top of the screen, check the boxes labeled “Bonding Enabled” and
“Authentication (MITM) Enabled”, and click the button “Send Pairing Request”, as shown in Figure 25.
This will send the request to the peripheral device.
Figure 25 BTool, Send Pairing Request
The peripheral will send a pairing response in return, which will require a six-digit passcode to be entered
by the user in order to complete the process. Typically, this passcode is intended to be used by a
peripheral device containing a display. By displaying the passkey on the peripheral device and requiring
the user to enter it in on the central device’s user interface, the link is authenticated, in that it has been
verified that the connection has not been hijacked using a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.
In the case of the SimpleBLEPeripheral software, a fixed passcode “000000” is used (this value can be
modified in the source code). In the box labeled “Passkey” in the “Passkey Input” section, enter the value
“000000” and click the “Send Passkey” button, as shown in Figure 26. Note that if you do not send the
passkey within 30 seconds after receiving the pairing response message, the pairing process will fail, and
you will need to re-send the pairing request.
Page 23 of 32
SWRU301
Figure 26 BTool, Send Passkey
When pairing is successfully completed, you will see a “GAP_AuthenticationComplete” event in the log
window, with a “Success” status. The BLE connection is now encrypted. You will now be able to read the
fifth characteristic value (handle 0x002F) from the peripheral. The five-byte value of the characteristic is
“01 02 03 04 05”.
4.6.2 Using Bonding and Long-Term Keys
Bonding is a feature in BLE that allows a device, after initial pairing with a peer, to remember specific
information about that peer device. In particular, the long-term key data that is generated during the
initial pairing process can be stored locally. If the connection is then terminated and the two devices later
reconnect, this data can be used to quickly re-initiate encryption without needing to go through the full
pairing process and/or use a passkey. In addition, if a client device had enabled notifications of any
characteristics on the server device while the two devices were bonded, the server device will remember
the setting and the client will not have to re-enable them.
After pairing has been completed with bonding enabled, the “Long-Term Key (LTK) Data” will be
populated with some of the data from the “GAP_AuthenticationComplete” event that was generated
during the encryption process. This data is required for re-initiating encryption upon reconnect. Click the
“Save Long-Term Key Data to File” button to save this information to file, as shown in Figure 27. The data
is saved as in a “comma separated value” (CSV) format as simple text, and can be store anywhere on disk.
Be sure to note the location that the file is stored.
Figure 27 BTool, Save Long-Term Key Data to File
Within the peripheral device, a similar process is going on, in that the SimpleBLEPeripheral software
contains a bond manager that is storing the long-term key data that it had generated during encryption.
Since the SimpleBLEPeripheral does not have a file system, it is simply storing the data in the nonvolatile
memory of the CC2540/41. More information on the bond manager can be found in Texas Instruments
Bluetooth® Low Energy Software Developer’s Guide [3].

SWRU301
With a bond now active, you can enable notifications of a characteristic value and have that setting
remembered for later. Note that if notifications were enabled before going through the pairing process,
then the setting will not be stored. Therefore, you will need to re-write the value “01:00” to a client
characteristic configuration descriptor. For example, write “01:00” to handle 0x002C to enable the
periodic notifications, as was done in section 4.5.6. You should now be receiving a notification once every
five seconds. Because the devices are paired with bonding enabled, the bond manager in the
SimpleBLEPeripheral software will store the client characteristic configuration descriptor data in
nonvolatile memory.
To verify that bonding worked, you will need to disconnect and re-connect. Click on the “Discover /
Connect” tab and click the “Terminate” button at the bottom of the screen to disconnect from the
peripheral device, as shown in Figure 28. The message window will show a “GAP_TerminateLink” event
with “Success” status. In addition, the connection information in the upper-left corner of the screen will
disappear.
Figure 28 BTool, Terminate Link
At a later time, re-connect with the peripheral device following the procedure in section 4.4.3. Once
connected, you will notice that the periodic notifications are no longer enabled. This is because the
Simple GATT profile will always reset the value of the client characteristic configuration descriptor back to
“00:00” if a connection is terminated or if the device resets.
To re-initiate encryption and re-enable the periodic notifications, return to the “Pairing / Bonding” tab. In
the “Initiate Bond” section, click the “Load Long-Term Key Data From File” button, and select the file in
which the data was previously stored. The data fields will get automatically populated from the data in
the file. Click the “Initiate Bond” button to re-enable encryption, as shown in Figure 29.

SWRU301
Figure 29 BTool, Re-initiate Encryption
A “GAP_BondComplete” event with “Success” status will be displayed in the message window. This
indicates that the link has been re-encrypted, which can be verified by reading the fifth characteristic
value in the SimpleGATTProfile at handle 0x002F. You will also now be receiving periodic notifications of
the fourth characteristic value, as the client characteristic configuration descriptor value of the
characteristic has been restored. Any changes to the client characteristic configuration descriptor value
(i.e. turning off notifications) will be saved to nonvolatile memory and remembered for next time that
encryption is initiated using the long-term key.
4.7 Additional Sample Applications
In addition to the SimpleBLEPeripheral application, the BLE software development kit includes project and
source code files for several additional applications and profiles, including:
Blood Pressure Sensor- with simulated measurements
Heart Rate Sensor- with simulated measurements
Health Thermometer- with simulated measurements
More information on these projects can be found in Texas Instruments BLE Sample Applications Guide [5].

5. Program / Debug the CC254x
The SmartRF05EB allows for debugging using IAR Embedded Workbench, as well as for reading and
writing hex files to the CC254x flash memory using the SmartRF Flash Programmer software. SmartRF
Flash Programmer also has the capability to change the IEEE address of the CC254x device. The BLE
software development kit includes hex files for SimpleBLEPeripheral, SimpleBLECentral, and
HostTestRelease (Master Configuration) projects. This section details on using SmartRF Flash Programmer.
Information on using IAR Embedded Workbench for debugging can be found in [3]
5.1 Hardware Setup
In order to program or debug the CC254x, the CC254xEM board must be plugged in to the SmartRF05EB.
Connect the SmartRF05EB to your PC using a standard USB cable.
5.2 Using SmartRF Flash Programmer Software
Note: the instructions in the section apply to the latest version of SmartRF Flash Programmer (version
1.11.1 Rev. M), which is available at the following URL:
http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/flash-programmer.html
To start the application go into your programs by choosing Start > Programs > Texas Instruments >
SmartRF Flash Programmer > SmartRF Flash Programmer. The program should open up the following
window:
Figure 30
5.2.1 Reading or Writing a Hex File to the CC254x
To read or write a hex file to the CC254x, select the option “Program CCxxxx SoC or MSP430” in the drop
box at the top. The connected CC254x should be detected and show up in the list of devices. Under “Flash
image” select the desired hex file that you would like to write to the device. If you are reading from the
CC254x, under “Flash image” enter the desired path and filename for the hex file. To write to the CC254x,
under “Actions” select “Erase, program and verify”. To read from the CC254x, under “Actions” select
“Read flash into hex-file”. To begin the read or write, click the button “Perform actions”.
Page 27 of 32
SWRU301
If the action completes successfully, you should see the progress bar at the bottom of the window fill up,
and either one of the following two messages, depending on whether a write or a read was performed:
“CC254x – ID8008: Erase, program and verify OK” or “CC254x – ID8008: Flash read OK”.
You may see the following error message:
Figure 31
If this comes up, it most likely means that you have IAR open and are debugging. You will need to stop
debugging before you can use SmartRF Flash Programmer to communicate with the SmartRF05EB.
5.2.2 Reading or Writing the CC254X Device Address
Every CC254x device comes pre-programmed with a unique 48-bit IEEE address. This is referred to as the
device’s “primary address”, and cannot be changed. It is also possible to set a “secondary address” on a
device, which will override the primary address upon power-up. SmartRF Flash Programmer can be used
to read the primary address, as well as to read or write the secondary address.
To read back the primary address of a device connected to the CC Debugger, select “Primary” under the
“Location” option, and click the “Read IEEE” button. The primary device address should appear in the box
on the right. Click the “Perform Actions” button at the bottom to perform the read.
To read back the secondary address, select “Secondary” under the “Location” option, and click the “Read
IEEE” button. The secondary device address should appear in the box on the right. Click the “Perform
Actions” button at the bottom to perform the read.
To set a new secondary address, select “Secondary” under the “Location” option, and enter the desired
address in the box on the right. Click the “Perform Actions” button at the bottom to perform the write. If
the secondary device is set to “FF FF FF FF FF FF”, the device will use the primary address. If the secondary
device is set to anything else, the secondary address will be used.
Page 28 of 32
SWRU301
Figure 32
Note that every time you re-program the device using SmartRF Flash Programmer, the secondary address
of the device will get set to FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. This can be avoided by selecting the option “Retain IEEE
address when reprogramming the chip”. A similar situation exists when a device is reprogrammed
through IAR Embedded Workbench, in that the secondary address will get set to FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF each
time. To avoid this, the IAR option “Retain unchanged memory”, under the “Debugger” > “Texas
Instruments” project option can be selected.
