Well, that would be way beyond what I want to do, which is only to reflash the AP with an already-provided firmware, but I guess if I succeed then other people may also flash anything they want, as long as they don't brick their AP. > I didn't play with the Chronos myself (but maybe I'll do soon, > giving the fact that I don't have to pay for it anymore), but there > have been many threads about it and I at least peek into them. Thanks in advance! I admit I did not look too deep in the archives for this, as I thought (and still think) it is somewhat off-topic for the mspgcc-user list. > It seems with this AP as it is with many other examples on the TI > website: working fine as-is, but too limited for real use beyond > the demo purpose. Well, it does what it was sold for -- in the EZ Chronos, you're supposed to program the watch, not the AP, which is supposed to remain unchanged. > In your case it's not even working, but that's a different problem. > > P.s.: you wrote that you have been able to make a workaround by > programming the watch to 915MHz.

Well, of course you can remove the resistor :) At the time I tried 915, it was that or no link at all, so poor performance was not my concern. :) Anyway, I'd reckoned that on the watch side, the hardware is identical for 868 and 915, so the AP might work well enough despite the resistor, until I could reprogram it; besides, in my case the watch will never be further than one or two meters away from the AP, so sub-optimal performance is not an issue.
