1 Hardware Platform
The evaluation board is made up with CMT2390F64-EB/CMT2391F128-EB and LCD Shield.
CMT2390F64-EB/CMT2391F128-EB is used as the evaluation board，and CMT2390F64 / CMT2391F128
is the development board for chip controller. The evaluation board is with functionality and performance
evaluation by default and it can be used as the development board for getting to know CMT2390F64 /
CMT2391F128.
It provides two average frquency band：434MHz and 868MHz，with +20dBm Tx power in Direct Tie
matching mode;
CMT2390F64-EB/CMT2391F128-EB can also provide two types of standard single antenna (default) and
antenna diversity (one PCB with different BOM, double Layout compatibility)
LCD Shiled is plugged into the CMT2390F64-EB/CMT2391F128-EB. It is used as the man – machine
interaction interface for it provides LCD screen and buttons.

4 RF DC-DC Select
The RF part of the CMT2390F64 / CMT2391F128 is embedded with
DC-DC module. The DC-DC mode can either be enabled or disabled. It
should be noted that this jumper is a hardware selection and should be
used together with the control software. If the DC-DC module needs to
be enabled, the software also needs to configure the corresponding
register BUCK_SEL to 1 (located in Page1, address 0x01, Bit4). Note:
The DC-DC only applies to the RF part, while not to power supply of
controller part.

2 Introduction for Parameter Setting
A firmware will be pre-burned around the chip before delivery for multiple functional test and evaluation (it needs
to be used together with LCD shield display) for CMT2390F64-EB/CMT2391F128-EB or CMT2390F64-QFN48-
EB. Thisfirmware will be updated fromtime to time as functional changes, it can be downloaded from the official
website of HOPE and it will be updated through J-Flash software from J-link debugger (the updated firmware is
described in detail in Chapter 4 of this article). In this chapter, parameter setting menu of the factory firmware
will be introduced in detail.
