[1352P/2652P] Fixed issue when creating a custom target board by copying an existing board definition.
The "High TX power" values was not copied correctly (SRFSTUDIO-2721).
[13x2R] The TX Output power values updated for the PHY settings @ 433 MHz (SRFSTUDIO-2747).
[26x0/26x2] Added validation of Symbol Rate and RX filter BW (SRFSTUDIO-2719).
Known issues
[CC13X2] The default frequency used for the WiSUN PHY settings in SmartRF Studio, does not follow the WiSUN standard.
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.
[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] 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 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] Fixed issue with the "show all" check-box on top of the Command View. The problem could be seen when the check-box was checked to
show all the RF Commands. When another RF Setting was selected, the number of RF commands would be reduced to the actually used ones
while the check-box would remain checked (SRFSTUDIO-2079).
[CC13xx, CC26xx] The "log" options under the settings menu removed. It has never been implemented for the CC13xx/26xx devices. (SRFSTUDIO-1810).
[STARTW] The URL for the download page have been updated (SRFSTUDIO-1726).

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.
