University of California at Berkeley College of Engineering Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Checkpoint 3 Wireless Transceiver 1.0 Motivation The wireless, radio-frequency (RF) communication link provided by the Chipcon CC2420 allows your device to communicate with other 802.15.4 devices in the area. The 802.15.4 protocol is an official IEEE standard designed for low data-rate personal area networks (PANs). It operates on the same unlicensed 2.4 GHz band as 802.11 (wireless LAN). Sixteen channels are available, each of which supports a maximum data rate of 250 kbps. The protocol has found its way into such applications as industrial sensors and “smart-home” devices. Many of these devices use Zigbee, a protocol built on the foundation of 802.15.4. While the CC2420 is Zigbee ready, we will not be sending packets that conform to the standard. For additional reading, refer to: Wikipedia: Zigbee and Wikipedia: 802.15.4. This checkpoint will allow your project to communicate with the completed project of any other group in the class. Interoperation makes this checkpoint more challenging than all the others, as the digital designer will have to follow a strict set of guide-lines in order to send and receive data. 2.0 Introduction This checkpoint will introduce you to several key ideas in digital design: General interfacing with a third-party chip. Serial interfaces. Data buffering. Communication protocols. This checkpoint documentation explains the basics of using the CC2420. However, you will not be able to complete the checkpoint without referring to the datasheet. 2.1 CC2420 Interface The CC2420 has 33 16-bit configuration registers, 15 command strobe registers, an 128-byte transmit (TX) RAM, an 128-byte receive (RX) RAM, and an 112-byte security RAM. The TX and RX RAM can be accessed by address or accessed through two 2-bit registers, in which case the memory acts as FIFO buffers. We will not be writing or reading any data from the s
