SimpliciTI™ is a low-power RF protocol aimed at simple, small RF networks. This open-source software is an excellent start for building a network with battery-operated devices using one of TI’s low-power RF System-on-Chips (SoC) or the MSP430 ultra-low-power MCU and a TI RF transceiver. SimpliciTI was designed for easy implementation and deployment out-of-the-box on several TI RF platforms such as the MSP430 MCUs and the CC1XXX/CC25XX transceivers and SoCs.

Known Bugs[edit]

SimpliciTI_CCS_1_1_1_5xx[edit]

  • There is a bug in MSP-EXP430FR5739 sample project from SimpliciTI 1.1.1.5. Linked resources mpl_config.dat and mpl_nwk_config.dat are pointing to files from different board. Please remove this files from your project and add files (link to) from correct branch (...\SimpliciTI_CCS_1_1_1_5xx\Projects\Examples\EXP430FR5739\Simple_Peer_to_Peer\CCS\Configuration\...).


Compiling with active END_DEVICE and RANGE_EXTENDER configuration[edit]

According to the SimpliciTI Developers Note, it is possible to compile the code to enable a SimpliciTI node acting as both End Device and Range Extenders by declaring device type END_DEVICE and RANGE_EXTENDER. However there are some mistakes in the macro directives for conditional compilation in nwk_api.c, nwk_frame.c, and nwk_frame.h which prevent the message forwarding mechanism of range extender to work properly if compiled together with end device functionality.

Below is the modified source code to fix the described problem above: File:Smpl nwk ed re.zip
