Interface an Arduino Uno with CC2420

Hi , basically im trying to receive rssi value from the chip cc2420 but after uploading the code to the board , i got nothing . So my questions are :

1.Do i just need basic spi to configure cc2420
2.Does configuring cc2420 in receive mode is enough for cc2420 to function.

i have already the transmitter which use cc2420 and mp430 , so basically i have to build a receiver which include arduino uno and cc2420.

For all of your response , thank you in advance.

Hi,
Did you manage to interface CC2420 with Arduino? I have similar problem.
