Airview small range scan

[Dracos-Carazza]

Hi,

is it possible to use the Airview for a small range scan? F.e. only 5MHz between 2460 and 2465MHz but with a faster visualisation? (Same timeresolution -> every 500KHz one measurement, but only 10 measurements at all)
Does the firmware support this, or will there be any firmware update for the airview to include this function?

Hello,

The firmware does not support this at this time, but may be added in with a future update.

Thanks,

So it is possible with the hardware components of a airview, that is very nice :)
I see that the airview uses a CC2510F32 (yes I have opened my device ;)) and that there are some soldering pads on the backside of the PCB, is this a ISP interface or something like that? I am not angry or disappointed if you don't answer this question, but Data, CLK and Reset sounds like a programming interface of the 8051 MCU for me ;)

Hello,

That one I will have my software team answer.

Thanks,

I found the datasheet on farnell.com. It looks like the CF2510 have debug interface, which can also be used to programm the falsh memory. 8)

Yes, it's a serial USB device and the pads you mention are for serial and debug set of pins that are used to flash the device at the factory. If only you have the right firmware :wink:

The TI chip used is capable of being programmed for various ranges, but as Mike mentioned our current firmware isn't capable of being tweaked like that at the moment. We have enhancement requests to make it do exactly that in a future release of the product.

Thank you for your interest in AirView.

That sounds interessting, so its time for some reverse engeneering ;)

Is there in the actual firmware something implemented like a bootloader or some other kind of flashing routine? So that the User could flash his device if there will be a new firmware version from your side or will the new version only be available on newer devices?

Knock yourself out. Hehe.

No sir, no bootloader of any kind. Devices are flashed at the factory and are not able to be upgraded in the field. There was a whole lot of device FW testing prior to factory flashing just for that reason.

Cheers,
