To get started with the CC2531 dongle, one needs to install the appropriate drivers. In other words, one can’t program the CC2531EMK without buying a debugger like the CC Debugger, for instance. Such a debugger needs to be purchased individually. While reading the quick start guide, I realized that there is no way to program the MCU’s flash memory without the use of an external debugger. The quick start guide is straight to the point and easy to understand.ĬC2531EMK on top of the quick start quide The box contains the CC2531EMK USB dongle and a quick start guide. With 21 general-purpose I/O Pins and a 12-Bit ADC with 8 channels and configurable resolution, the chip supplies plenty of peripherals for external circuitry. The CC2531 provides extensive hardware support for packet handling, data buffering, burst transmissions, data encryption (AES Security Coprocessor), data authentication, clear channel assessment, link quality indication (Accurate Digital RSSI/LQI) and packet timing information. With a maximum output power of 4.5 dBm (2.82 mW), the chip is perfect for small range communication. Since the chip is compliant with various national and international standards, namely ETSI EN 300 328 and EN 300 440 (Europe), FCC CFR47 Part 15 (US), and ARIB STD-T-66 (Japan), products built around this chip do not need to worry about national and international compliance.
The chip is 8051-based, has 8 kB of RAM and is available with either 128 kB (CC2531F128) or 256 kB (CC2531F256) of In-System-Programmable (ISP) flash. The CC2531 is a USB-Enabled System-On-Chip Solution for 2.4-GHz IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee applications in a tiny 6-mm × 6-mm QFN40 package.
