RF Settings and Patches
RF settings and patches for device family cc13x4_cc26x4, as well as device CC1312PSIP, are in alpha state. They are not fully characterized and have only been tested in a limited manner. Support for certain settings and PHYs may be removed in the future.
Please consider this content for evaluation purposes only.
The cc13x1_cc26x1 CPE multi protocol patch (rf_patch_cpe_multi_protocol) will be deprecated and removed in 1Q23. All generated settings using this patch will be updated to refer to the corresponding protocol patches rf_patch_cpe[bt5, ieee_802_15_4, prop].
RF Sysconfig: Antenna Switch Hardware Changes
The antenna switch, available under “Use Hardware”, is required by P device boards (matching regex /CC....P/). To ensure correct RF performance, the correct value for this option is now selected by default in the UI, but not when adding the RF module in a config script.
Make sure this option is selected for correct RF performance. It must also be placed before any assignments related to the RF module for coex.
See snippet below to add correct hardware:
const RF = scripting.addModule("/ti/drivers/RF");
if (("board" in system.deviceData) && ("RF" in system.deviceData.board.components)) {
RF.$hardware = system.deviceData.board.components.RF;
