Abstract: HSC developed the HW drivers and Protocol Layer as per specification. A deep understanding of MSP430F149 Microcontroller CC1020 RF Chip from Texas Instruments was developed as these platforms were configures and used to implement the tag. The scope of work also included implementation of Data RX and TX as per RF Protocol (PHY) using HW timers and drivers for UART, EEPROM, temperature Sensor. The code developed was highly optimized code for RX to TX and the complete protocol testing was done over actual RF Interface.
Customer Benefits:
- The entire software was built and tested over simulation software.
- This ensured parallel development of hardware and software hence reduce time to market.
- This also ensured availability of environment for any future developments
- The RF Channel Optimized design for Microcontroller to be in Low Power Mode for most of the time. This feature enabled the customer to have a differentiator in his product line and hence larger market reach.
