CC Debugger Debug, Test and Programming probe for the 8051-based SoCs and some selected transceivers PC Tools Connect the Debugger to the PC and use available tools to test, configure and debug software running on the chip.

4 Development Kit Overview

5 Development Kits The typical Low Power RF development kit contains 2 x RF Boards 2 x Mother Boards 2 x Antennas Relevant Accessories Documentation The boards are preprogrammed with a demo application usually a packet error rate (PER) test for practical range testing

6 What can you do with the kits? Evaluate the RF performance of the radio by controlling the radio from the PC with SmartRF Studio Get familiar with all relevant development tools Run the embedded packet error rate application for practical range testing Use the hardware as a known good platform during test and verification Develop and debug software Connect your own peripherals and controllers for prototyping
