37.1. RF Master firmware for DA1468x and DA1469x family

This section explains how to compile and get binaries for the RF Master tool for the DA1469x and DA1468x family chips: DA1469x-00, DA14681-01, DA14682-00, DA14683-00, DA15000-00, DA15001-00, DA15100-00 and DA15101-00.

  • Open SmartSnippets™ Studio and on select workspace pop up press browse and select the root of the chip SDK.

37.1.1. RF Master firmware for DA14580/581/583, DA1453x and DA14585/6 family

This section explains how to compile and get binaries for the RF Master tool for the DA14580/581/583 and DA14585/6 family chips: DA14580-01, DA14581-00, DA14583-01, DA14585-00, DA14586-00, DA14531.

For 580/581/583 chips:

  • Open Keil IDE and from Main Menu go to File -> Open . On filter combobox select All Files

  • Extract DA14580/581/583 SDK and point to SDK 5.0.4\DA14580/581/583_SDK\5.0.4\projects\target_apps\prod_test\prod_test\Keil_5. Select prod_test.uvprojx.

  • Press Open and the prod_test project is loaded into Keil workspace.

  • Select prod_test_580, prod_test_581 or prod_test_583 from the combobox (1.) and press the build icon (2.)

  • On success, binary location is SDK 5.0.4\DA14580/581/583_SDK\5.0.4\projects\target_apps\prod_test\prod_test\Keil_5\out_580\prod_test_580.bin

  • For 585/6 and 531 chips the process is the same as above. Keil project location on the DA14585/6 SDK is DA145xx_SDK\6.0.14.1114\projects\target_apps\prod_test\prod_test\Keil_5
