Target board (RF Design) (SRFSTUDIO-3114).
[CC2652PSIP] Front end configuration for the CC2652PSIP Launchpad updated to "Internal Bias". The change has an impact on the RSSI value shown in RX (SRFSTUDIO-3097).
Known issues
[CC2651P3] The current Output TX power settings are limited to 10 dBm. The Launchpad "LP_CC2651P3" is designed for 20 dBm but the required settings did not make it for this release.
[CC13x2R7, CC26x2R7] The validation rules for the RX_BW parameter has been disabled (SRFSTUDIO-3086).
[CC13xx, CC26xx] The PDU Payload length for BLE 5 is limited to 37 bytes. The correct value would be 251 (SRFSTUDIO-2579).
[CC1352P] Creating a custom target board with support for for the integrated high-power amplifier is not fully supported.
It will not be possible to create a board that combines both the standard-power and high-power values.
The use of the checkbox to enable/disable high-power amplifier will not have any effect.
[CC1350] OOK setting does not work on LAUNCHXL-CC1350 targets with PCB version older than 1.3 due to a hardware issue causing unstable output frequency.
[CC13x2R] The 14 dBm output power in proprietary mode requires CCFG_FORCE_VDDR_HH = 1 in ccfg.c,
which is not supported out-of-the-box in SimpleLink CC13x2 SDK version 1.00.00.
The measured output value using the SDK compared with SmartRF Studio may therefore be a bit lower.
[CC13xx, CC26xx] Unplugging a LaunchPad from the USB bus while SmartRF Studio Packet RX is active causes the Device Control Panel to stop responding (SRFSTUDIO-1716).
[CC1350] With the 5 kbps SLR setting, the Continuous RX function does not work properly. The problem can be seen from the RSSI plots. At a certain point the RSSI value is always the same (SRFSTUDIO-1456).
[CC13xx, CC26xx] Code Export: The comments of each register override does not exist if the settings are loaded from a SmartRF Studio configuration file (Menu option: "Open cfg") (SRFSTUDIO-1693).
[CC13xx, CC26xx] The vertical scroll bar in pop-up dialogs does not work properly. An attempt to click on the scroll bar makes the dialog to disappear. The workaround is to use the scroll wheel on the mouse. The scroll bar will normally only be seen with scaling other than 100% (SRFSTUDIO-1995)
[CC13xx, CC26xx] The fixed packet length field is not validated properly. Typing in a large value may cause the Device Control Panel to crash. The workaround is to not input too large values in the length field (SRFSTUDIO-2008).
[CC2640R2F] Code Export proprietary mode: The exported code is not compatible with the code examples from CC2640R2F SDK v2.40.00. The radio setup command in the code examples is different from the
one exported by SmartRF Studio. The workaround is to modify the CC2640R2F SDK code examples to use the radio setup command exported by SmartRF Studio (EZLINKPROP-501).
GUI does not scale correctly on Windows 7 machines with screen scaling other than 100%.
[CC26x0/CC13x0] The Cap-array tuning in SmartRF Studio is producing a frequency offset which is different compared to setting the Cap-array delta manually in CCFG (SRFSTUDIO-2184).
[SCRIPT] The Perl extension module is built and tested for Windows 7 only.

The 868 MHz PHY settings should have been 868.3 MHz and the 915 MHz settings should have been 920.9 MHz
[CC1352P] Creating a custom target board with support for for the integrated high-power amplifier is not fully supported.
It will not be possible to create a board that combines both the standard-power and high-power values.
The use of the checkbox to enable/disable high-power amplifier will not have any effect.
[CC1350] OOK setting does not work on LAUNCHXL-CC1350 targets with PCB version older than 1.3 due to a hardware issue causing unstable output frequency.

The boards are designed with an external bias circuit for the Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) in RX. The bias setting will have an impact on the sensitivity of the RF device.
SmartRF Studio will set the bias mode to "internal bias" while it should have been "external bias".
To change the bias mode the value of the bias mode field in the radio setup command must be changed: .config.biasMode = 1
The following radio setup commands are used:
CC1352R
BLE: CMD_BLE5_RADIO_SETUP.config.biasMode
IEEE 802.15.4: CMD_RADIO_SETUP.config.biasMode
CC1352P
BLE: CMD_BLE5_RADIO_SETUP_PA.config.biasMode

[CC13xx, CC26xx] The vertical scroll bar in popup dialogs does not work properly. An attempt to click on the scroll bar makes the dialog to disappear. The workaround is to use the scroll wheel on the mouse. The scroll bar will normally only be seen with scaling other than 100% (SRFSTUDIO-1995)
[CC13xx, CC26xx] The fixed packet length field is not validated properly. Typing in a large value may cause the Device Control Panel to crash. The workaround is to not input too large values in the length field (SRFSTUDIO-2008).
[CC2640R2F] Code Export proprietary mode: The exported code is not compatible with the code examples from CC2640R2F SDK v2.40.00. The radio setup command in the code examples is different from the
one exported by SmartRF Studio. The workaround is to modify the CC2640R2F SDK code examples to use the radio setup command exported by SmartRF Studio (EZLINKPROP-501).
GUI does not scale correctly on Windows 7 machines with screen scaling other than 100%.
Version 2.12.0
Release date: January 9, 2019
New Features and Enhancements
[CC13x2/CC26x2] Radio settings (Preview): All settings updated for revision E devices (SRFSTUDIO-1739).
[CC13x0] Radio settings: New settings for the 863-930 MHz band: "GFSK 1.2kbps" and "GFSK 2.4kbps" (SRFSTUDIO-771).
[CC13x2R, CC13x2P] The TX output power values for the 433 MHz frequency band have been updated (SRFSTUDIO-1921).
Bug fixes
[CC13x0] Solved issue with selection of typical setting "4.8 kbps, OOK (10 dBm Tx power)" when the target board "LAUNCHXL-CC1310-CC1190" is selected.
This resulted in the error: "Failed to calculate Command value" (SRFSTUDIO-1934).
[CC13x0] Solved issue with Packet TX for the "1.2 kbps, GFSK" and "2.4 kbps, GFSK" settings. The packet interval was too short and packets were lost (SRFSTUDIO-1882).
[CC13xx, CC26xx] Code Export: The parameter summary given in the generated code file updated. Unrelated parameters removed (SRFSTUDIO-1835).
[CC13x2/CC26x2] Code Export: Fixed issue with register override pointers being set (different from NULL) even if there are no overrides (SRFSTUDIO-1826).
[CC13xx/CC26xx] Solved issue with selecting "Cancel" from the "Open config file" dialog. An error message about "Invalid Command Settings" could be seen (SRFSTUDIO-1868).
[CC2640R2F] Solved issue with saving custom target configuration. The selected device was reported as incompatible with current device in the Device Control Panel (SRFSTUDIO-1956).
[CC13xx/CC26xx] Solved issue with packet length in the RF Command API not being synchronized with the value in the Packet TX panel (proprietary PHYs).
When changing packet configuration to fixed packet length and changing the packet length, the packet length in the RF Command API was updated correctly.
Switching to Packet RX and then back to Packet TX, it could be seen that the packet length in the Packet TX panel and the RF Command API
were no longer the same (SRFSTUDIO-1868).
Known issues
[CC1350] OOK setting does not work on LAUNCHXL-CC1350 targets with PCB version older than 1.3 due to a hardware issue causing unstable output frequency.
[CC13x2R] The 14 dBm output power in proprietary mode requires CCFG_FORCE_VDDR_HH = 1 in ccfg.c,
which is not supported out-of-the-box in SimpleLink CC13x2 SDK version 1.00.00.
The measured output value using the SDK compared with SmartRF Studio may therefore be a bit lower.
[CC13x2R] Engineering samples revision A (rev. 1.0) of CC13x2R devices do not work with SmartRF Studio.
This can be seen when starting Packet TX. It will fail with the command status = 0xbad0
[CC13xx, CC26xx] Unplugging a LaunchPad from the USB bus while SmartRF Studio Packet RX is active causes the Device Control Panel to stop responding (SRFSTUDIO-1716).
[CC1350] With the 5 kbps SLR setting, the Continuous RX function does not work properly. The problem can be seen from the RSSI plots. At a certain point the RSSI value is always the same (SRFSTUDIO-1456).

Bug Fixes
[CC2541] 2 bytes missing in the packet view of Packet RX if status bytes not inserted in FIFO by the chip.
[DCP] RSSI plot in Cont. RX did not work properly after about 9 - 10 minutes of RSSI measurements.
[CC110x, CC111x, CC11xL, CC2500, CC251x] Problem with update of registers that will be written when starting
a test function (click on start button). E.g. Packet TX/RX. These are registers that need to be refreshed
each time the function is started because the chip will do updates when strobe commands have been executed.
(E.g. FSCALx)

Known Issues
[CC1120, CC1121, CC1175] Narrow band settings do not always give a working link.
Make sure that both boards are aligned in terms of the RF frequency.
Verify this by using the “continuous RX” mode and vary the TX frequency (a few kHz) until
maximum RSSI is reached. Use low TX power for the testing such that the RSSI level is lower than -30dBm.
[DCP] In Packet RX the display of received packets is not always synchronized with what has really been received. The update of the window can be delayed.
[CC1101, CC2500] Handling of fixed packet length only supported by the TrxEB board.
[CC1175] The register definition used in register view is based on the same source as for CC112x. That means
that some registers for RX related parameters might seem to be available while input to those registers will not have any effect.
