LAUNCHXL-CC1310

The SimpleLink™ CC13x0 Software Development Kit (SDK) is part of the Texas Instruments SimpleLink family of wireless microcontrollers (MCUs), offering a single development environment that delivers flexible hardware, software and tool options for customers developing wired and wireless applications. For more information about the SimpleLink MCU platform, visit www.ti.com/simplelink.

SimpleLink™ CC13x0 Software Development Kit is a set of software development tools that enables engineers to develop software applications on the SimpleLink™ CC13x0 ULP devices. This powerful software toolkit provides a cohesive and consistent software experience for all SimpleLink™ CC13x0 users by packaging essential software components such as TI RTOS, peripheral drivers, TI 15.4-Stack, Bluetooth Low Energy, and RF-Proprietary examples in one easy-to-use software package along with exhaustive documentation.

This is version 4.20.02.07 of the SimpleLink CC13x0 SDK.

The Code Composer Studio™ IDE is a complete integrated suite that enables developers to create and debug applications of all Texas Instruments Embedded Processors (Sitara, DSP, Automotive, Keystone), Microcontrollers (SimpleLink™, C2000 Digital Control, MSP430, TM4C, Hercules), as well as Digital Power (UCD) and Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) devices.

CCS v20 is TI’s next generation Integrated Development Environment (IDE) based on Theia IDE framework. CCS v20.4.0 uses a modified version of the Theia-IDE framework and offers a user experience similar to Visual Studio Code™.

• Installation instructions and User's Guide
• Windows 32bit is not supported with CCSv20.
• XDS510 class debug probes are not supported with CCSv20.

SmartRF™ Studio is a Windows application that can be used to evaluate and configure Low Power RF devices from Texas Instruments. The application helps designers of RF systems to easily evaluate the radio at an early stage in the design process. It is especially useful for generation of configuration register values and commands, and for practical testing and debugging of the RF system. SmartRF Studio can be used either as a standalone application or together with applicable evaluation boards or debug probes for the RF device.

Sensor Controller Studio is used to write, test and debug code for the CC26xx/CC13xx Sensor Controller, allowing for ultra-low power application design.

The tool generates a Sensor Controller Interface driver, which is a set of C source files to be compiled into the System CPU (ARM Cortex-M3/M4) application. These source files contain the Sensor Controller firmware image and associated definitions, and generic functions that allow the System CPU application to control the Sensor Controller and exchange data.

The Sensor Controller is a small CPU core that is highly optimized for low power consumption and efficient peripheral operation. The Sensor Controller is located in the CC26xx/CC13xx auxiliary (AUX) power/clock domain, and can perform simple background tasks autonomously and independently of the System CPU and the MCU domain power state. Such tasks include but are not limited to:

• Analog sensor polling, using ADC or comparator
• Digital sensor polling, using SPI, I2C or other protocols
• Capacitive sensing, using current source, comparator and time-to-digital converter (TDC)
• Waveform generation, for example for LCDs

The Sensor Controller is user programmable, using a simple programming language with syntax similar to C. This allows for sensor polling and other tasks to be specified as sequential algorithms, rather than static configuration of complex peripheral modules, timers, DMA, register programmable state machines, event routing and so on. The main advantages are:

• Flexibility
• Dynamic reuse of hardware resources
• Ability to perform simple data processing without need for dedicated hardware
• Observability and debugging options

CCStudio UniFlash is a standalone tool used to program on-chip and external flash memory on TI MCUs and on-board flash memory for Sitara processors. UniFlash has a GUI, command line, and scripting interface. UniFlash is available free of charge.
