1.1 Introduction

The CC2340R53 LaunchPad kit (LP-EM-CC2340R53) brings easy Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity to the LaunchPad ecosystem with the Simplelink ultra-low power CC2340R53 wireless MCU.

The CC2340R53 is a wireless MCU targeting Bluetooth 5.3 Low Energy, ZigBee®, Thread, and Proprietary 2.4GHz applications. The CC2340R53 has a 48MHz, 32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ as the main processor and a rich peripheral set that includes 12-bit ADC, UART, SPI, I2C, and Timers.

The CC2340R53 LaunchPad kit is supported by the Simplelink Starter app for iOS™ and Andriod™. This app connects your LaunchPad to a smartphone using Bluetooth. The Starter app supports reading the LaunchPad buttons, controlling LEDs, and all I/O signals on the BoosterPack connectors. It also supports setting up cloud connectivity to the IBM Quickstart server or to any cloud service via MQTT. This enables a cloud view where you can control your LaunchPad from any web browser in minutes after setting it up.

The CC2340R53 LaunchPad kit can also be upgraded to the latest firmware version with the over-the-air (OTA) upgrade from the Simplelink Starter app.
