The following figure shows the different components on the eZ430-RF2500. In particular, some
of pins of the MSP430 are exported as
extension pins
P1
through
P18
. Note that
some of these pins may be unused pins of the MSP430, others are already used, butduplicated as extension ports for debugging purposes.
As show in the following figure, 6 wires interconnect the MSP430 (micro-controller) with the CC2500 (radio). 4 of them form the SPI link, a serial link which enables digital communication. There is a hardware SPI modem on each side of the link, the configuration of which is handledby the drivers.
The remaining two links are wires used by the CC2500 to wake-up the MSP430.
That is, the MSP430 configures its ports
P2.6
and
P2.7
as input, with interrupts. It
then configures the CC2500 to trigger
GDO0
or
GDO2
on a given event (typically,
when receiving a packet). This enables the MSP430 to enter LPM3. Note that thesewires are also routed to extension port pins
P13
and
P14
. The drivers are used in
such a way that only
GDO0
is used for proper operation. You can thus configure
GDO2
as you wish, and monitor its state with an oscilloscope on extension port pin
P14
.
