Using the VT-CC1310-EVB
The VT-CC1310-EVB is a flexible test and development platform that works together with RF Modules base on SimpleLink wireless microcontroller from VCHIP.
An RF Module is a small module with wireless microcontroller, balun, matching filter, antenna, and I/O connectors. The module can be plugged into the VT-CC1310-EVB which lets the PC take direct control of the wireless microcontroller on the module over the USB interface.
Currently, VT-CC1310-EVB supports:
- VT-S02C Module
- VT-SA02C Module
- VT-SA02D Module
- VT-S03A Module
Some of the above modules come in variants combined with RF front-end. Such variants are called combo modules and are also supported by the VT-CC1310-EVB.
The PC software that controls the VT-CC1310-EVB + Module is SmartRF Studio 7. Studio can be used to perform several RF tests and measurements, e.g. to set up a Carrier Wave signal and send and receive packets.
The EVB + Module can be of great help during the whole development cycle for a new RF product.
- Easy and fast evaluated the RF Module performance.
- Verify your own software. Test the send function by transmitting packets from your software and receive with another board using SmartRF Studio 7. Then transmit using SmartRF Studio 7 and receive with your own software.
- Use the VT-CC1310-EVB as a debugger interface to the SimpleLink wireless microcontroller with CCS or IAR Embedded Workbench.
- Use the VT-CC1310-EVB as a programmer interface to the SimpleLink wireless microcontroller with Flash Programmer 2.
VT-CC1310-EVB Overview
VT-CC1310-EVB acts as the motherboard for RF Modules from VCHIP. The board has several user interfaces and connections to external interfaces, allowing fast prototyping and testing of both software and hardware.
This chapter will give an overview of the general architecture of the board and describe the available I/O. The following sub-section will explain the I/O in more detail. Pin connections between the EVB I/O and RF Module can be found in section 5.5.

(1) In some case, VCHIP RF Module dose not pin-out all GPIOs, such as VT-S02C, VT-SA02C, VT-SA02D.
(2) Connected jumper between DIO11 and DIO20 to connect FLASH_CS to RF Module in case.
(3) SWO available in all pin-out RF modules.


Description | Reason and Solution |
Can’t communication | 1.The power supply connect not well, check the module VCC whether it is out of maximum rating. 2.The signal line connect not well, check the module SPI interface. 3.The settings of the transmitter module and receiver module are not the same. Check these modules’ register configuration. 4.Signal block. If the transmitter work with a high TX power, and the receiver was put at a short distance(<0.5m), maybe there is a signal block to make no communication. |
Communication distance is too short | 1.The application environment is too bad or the antenna is shield. Put the antenna to a better place outside or higher throw a coaxial line , replace it with a higher gain antenna. 2.The work space contains a same frequency interference source, or a strong magnetic field interference, power source disturbance. Try to change the carrier frequency or get far away from the source of the disturbance. 3.The power supply is not strong. Check the voltage and the current whether it is enough. |
High data error | 1.The power supply ripple is too big, Change the power supply. 2.Check the module register configuration, it is recommended to set as the CC1120-datasheet. 3.There is a carrier frequency interference, change the channel. 4.The antenna unmatched to the module RF interface, change another matched antenna. |
