Hi! I would like to use KEIL's C51 tools for Chipcons CC2430 instead of IAR's buggy IDE... What is the best way to port the Chipcons example files (from their website) writen for IAR's EW? Has someone allready done this and is there a downloadable conversion available? Chipcon's IAR deal seems to limit their support in this issue...
What is the best way to port my way: compile with Keil read the errors find out what causes a frequent one of them use CodeWright to correct that one run again Erik
Yep, that's the way to do it... but this was a kind of attempt to save some working time :) Keil seems to have the CC2430 in their supported devices list so i wonder do they have an ported version about the Chipcons example files... The chipcon's "I/O" file for CC2430 also contains definitions for detecting the Keil compiler... and the error listing given by Keil is supprisingly small. I quess the real problems step in if i'm messing the Chipcons libraries (IAR Macros, interrupts etc) while porting the examples. As you may know it allways takes a bit more work to track down the errors from radio system... -Timo-

If the "Chipcons libraries" gives problems, they may have a Keil version or be willing to let you have the source. Erik
I have contacted Chipcons support twice and at the second time i got the honest answer: Application examples for the new generation of Chipcon RF chips (CC2430,CC2510 and CC1110) are written for use with the IAR tool chain only. Support for Keil on these products is unfortunatley not provided. You may still of course port the examples to Keil but there is no Keil debugging environment for the new generation of chips. So thats it, have to start working... -Timo
