Step 2: Download the CC13x2 and CC26x2 SDK
Step 3: Get started with SimpleLink Academy

The SimpleLink CC13x2 and CC26x2 software development kit (SDK) provides a comprehensive software package for the development of Sub-1 GHz and 2.4 GHz applications including support for Bluetooth® Low Energy, Zigbee®, Thread, 802.15.4-based, proprietary, and multi-protocol solutions on the SimpleLink CC13x2 and CC26x2 Wireless MCUs.

TI 15.4 Stack

The TI 15.4-Stack is an IEEE 802.15.4-based star topology networking solution for the Sub-1 GHz band. The SimpleLink Sub-1 GHz 15.4 stack is a complete solution for connecting long-range, low power sensors in the home, building, and city. The SimpleLink Sub-1 GHz 15.4 stack offers a standards-based, star-network that makes Sub-1 GHz connectivity easy by providing all of the necessary components for a robust system and supports development of Sub-1 GHz applications on the ARM® Cortex®-M4F based SimpleLink Sub-1 GHz CC1312R and SimpleLink Multi-Band CC1352R wireless MCUs.

Proprietary solutions

The SimpleLink CC13x2 and CC26x2 SDK supports development of proprietary Sub-1 GHz and 2.4 GHz applications on the ARM® Cortex®-M4F based SimpleLink Sub-1 GHz CC1312R, SimpleLink Multi-Band CC1352R, and SimpleLink Multi-Standard CC2652R wireless MCUs using the RF driver and the EasyLink Abstraction Layer. The RF driver offers very low-level API's to run radio operation commands on the RF core and send and receive raw packets. The EasyLink layer is an abstraction layer above the RF driver API’s for the more convenience. It uses the RF driver and executes radio operation commands. The EasyLink library is a starting point for adding an API on top of the RF driver.

Bluetooth Low Energy stack

The SimpleLink CC13x2 and CC26x2 SDK includes the Texas Instruments royalty-free Bluetooth low energy (BLE) software protocol stack (BLE5-Stack) component supporting development of single-mode Bluetooth 5 applications on the ARM® Cortex®-M4F based SimpleLink Bluetooth® low energy CC2642R, SimpleLink Multi-Standard CC2652R, and SimpleLink Multi-Band CC1352R, wireless MCUs. The BLE5-Stack includes all necessary software, sample applications and documentation to quickly get started with the development of standalone and network processor BLE applications. Refer to the feature set below and SDK release notes for a detailed description of the features available in this SDK.

Thread stack

The SimpleLink CC13x2 and CC26x2 SDK includes tools, application examples, documentation and source code of the Thread 1.1 networking protocol based on openthread (github.com/openthread/openthread) supporting development of Thread applications on the ARM® Cortex®-M4F based SimpleLink Multi-Standard CC2652R and SimpleLink Multi-Band CC1352R wireless MCUs. Example applications such as a door lock, window shades, thermostat and temperature sensor (based on Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) running atop of the Thread networking stack) are released to kick-start the SW design of end equipment sets. Additionally, the SimpleLink CC13x2 and CC26x2 SDK includes a Command-Line Interface (CLI) application and a Network Co-Processor (NCP) implementation, which can be used in combination with a host Thread border-router agent software as a whole Thread border router reference solution.

Zigbee stack

The SimpleLink CC13x2 and CC26x2 SDK includes Texas Instruments royalty-free Zigbee software protocol stack (Z-stack) supporting development of Zigbee applications on the ARM® Cortex®-M4F based SimpleLink Multi-Standard CC2652R and SimpleLink Multi-Band CC1352R wireless MCUs. The Zigbee protocol stack supports the latest Zigbee 3.0 specification and contains everything needed for a Zigbee compliant solution, including tools, application examples, documentation, and source code. It also includes a Zigbee Pro compliant Zigbee stack, as well as example applications such as door lock, light, switch, temperature sensor and thermostat. Zigbee Network Processor configuration is supported, which can be used in two chip architectures where the host implements the Cluster Library and the Zigbee applications.

Multiprotocol support

The SimpleLink CC13x2 and CC26x2 SDK supports development of multi-standard solutions on the ARM® Cortex®-M4F based SimpleLink Multi-Standard CC2652R and SimpleLink Multi-Band CC1352R wireless MCUs. The SimpleLink CC13x2 and CC26x2 SDK supports concurrent operation of Bluetooth Low Energy + Sub-1 GHz (TI 15.4-Stack or proprietary Sub-1 GHz) and Bluetooth Low Energy + Zigbee. This Concurrent operation is built using the Dynamic Multi-Protocol Manager (DMM). The DMM handles dynamic switching between stacks based on policy and run-time stack states.
