The CC2340R family is part of the SimpleLink™ MCU platform. This consists of Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth LE, Thread, Zigbee, Sub-1GHz MCUs, and host MCUs that all share a common, easy-to-use development environment with a single-core software development kit (SDK) and rich tool set. These devices are optimized for low-power wireless communication with Over the Air Download (OAD) support in building automation (wireless sensors, lighting control, beacons), asset tracking, medical, retail EPOS (electronic point of sale), ESL (electronic shelf), and personal electronics (toys, HID, stylus pens) markets.

The LP-EM-CC2340R5 development kit is used to speed up development with the SimpleLink Bluetooth LE MCU with support for Bluetooth 5 LE, and 2.4GHz proprietary protocols. Software support is provided by the SIMPLELINK-LOWPOWER-F3-SDK which can be built by using Code Composer Studio™ IDE. Features include access to all I/O signals with the BoosterPack™ plug-in module connectors and connecting the LaunchPad™ development kit to a smartphone using TI SimpleLink Connect. The LP-XDS110ET or LP-XDS110 debugger (sold separately) is required for programming, debugging, and RF evaluation.
