SIMPLELINK-LOWPOWER-SDK

The SimpleLink™ Low Power F2 Software Development Kit (SDK), formerly known as the CC13xx and CC26xx SDK, delivers components that enable engineers to develop applications on the Texas Instruments SimpleLink CC13xx and CC26xx family of wireless microcontrollers (MCUs). This software toolkit provides a cohesive and consistent software experience for all SimpleLink CC13xx and CC26xx wireless MCU users by packaging essential software components, such as a Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) protocol stack supporting Bluetooth 5.2, Zigbee 3.0 compliant protocol suite, RF-Proprietary examples, TI’s 15.4 Stack, TI Wi-SUN FAN Stack, Amazon Sidewalk examples, as well as the TI-RTOS7 and FreeRTOS™ kernels and TI Drivers in one easy-to-use software package along with example applications and documentation. In addition, the Dynamic Multi-Protocol Manager (DMM) software component enables multiprotocol development on a single SimpleLink wireless MCU.

Although not included in the SDK, SimpleLink CC13xx and CC26xx wireless MCUs are also capable of supporting the following wireless solutions: Please refer to their respective repositories for resources and more information.

• The Matter standard: https://github.com/TexasInstruments/matter
• Thread 1.1.1 networking stack based on OpenThread: https://github.com/TexasInstruments/ot-ti

The SimpleLink MCU portfolio offers a single development environment that delivers flexible hardware, software, and tool options for customers developing wired and wireless applications. With 100 percent code reuse across host MCUs, Wi-Fi™, Bluetooth Low Energy, Sub-1GHz devices and more, choose the MCU or connectivity standard that fits your design. A one-time investment with the SimpleLink software development kit allows you to reuse often, opening the door to create unlimited applications. For more information, visit www.ti.com/simplelink.

This is version 8.30.01.01 of the SimpleLink Low Power F2 SDK. This version only contains internal metadata updates for integrating with the TI Developer Zone; there are no embedded software changes from the 8.30.00.121 release. This SDK is also available on GitHub at https://github.com/TexasInstruments/simplelink-lowpower-f2-sdk

• Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) protocol stack

• Zigbee® protocol stack supporting low power wireless mesh networks

• Proprietary RF layer

• TI Drivers

• To leverage the HSM hardware accelerator, the user has to call ‘CryptoKeyPlaintextHSM_initKey(..)’ or ‘KeyStore_PSA_initKeyHSM(..)’ API and pass in the plaintext key as well as the key length.

• To leverage the LAES hardware accelerator, the user has to call ‘CryptoKeyPlaintext_initKey()(..)’ API and pass in the plaintext key as well as the key length.

• Please refer to each driver’s top level header file for driver-specific limitations.

• Mass erasing the CC27xx without retaining protected sectors will result in the erasure of the HSM firmware. Please see the Quick Start Guide: Build your first program for the CC23xx or CC27xx device on how to re-flash the HSM firmware.

• Starting SDK version 9.10, the crypto drivers are removed from the drivers library and moved into a separate secure drivers library: source/ti/drivers/secure/lib.

• Starting SDK version 9.10, if SysConfig generated libraries linker is not used, the secure drivers library will need to be added manually into the respective linker settings.

Texas Instruments Zephyr GitHub repository is the downstream fork Zephyr and is the starting point for developers wanting to start developing Zephyr applications. The SimpleLink™ downstream Zephyr releases are intended as an additional demo platform and eventually where the production grade TI SimpleLink™ Zephyr SDKs will be hosted. The team is also working on upstreaming this content to mainline Zephyr.

Release Information

The SimpleLink™ Matter links to the Texas Instruments GitHub repository that contains all the software development tools that enable engineers to develop Matter Accessory Device and is the starting point for Matter development on all SimpleLink CC13xx and CC26xx family of wireless microcontrollers (MCUs). It contains essential software components, such as a Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) protocol stack supporting Bluetooth, Thread networking stack based on OpenThread and Matter application layer stack based on open source Matter stack. In addition, the Dynamic Multi-Protocol Manager (DMM) software component enables multiprotocol development on a single SimpleLink wireless MCU.
