5.2
Programming of XE1283’s integrated microcontroller can be done with the XE8000MP board through one of its “In-Circuit
programming connectors”.
On the other side, the XE1283 target board should have the programming connector described below or equivalent.
5.3
Application Program Interface (API) is a set of basic drivers for XE8000 developers to easily drive the XE1200 series
transceivers. In our case XE8806A/XE8807A drives the XE1203F. This API allows easy and fast start to development,
using standard calls to low level functions (Send RF Frame, Receive RF Frame, Write Register, Read Register …).
These functions, written in C language, are completely free and open source, they will allow the developers to replace
them, if necessary, with optimized object code from third parties through wrapper function.
Because the API is provided in source code, it also allows the developers to see how the transceiver works and modify or
optimize the code to their needs.
Application Program Interface greatly simplifies development while the BitJockey™ leaves microcontroller resources
quasi completely available for implementing the application layer.
Complete source code is available on the Semtech web site at the following address:
In an XE1283 based application one should just copy and include the XE1203F drivers to the RIDE project and set the
microcontroller target to XE8806A or XE8807A.
