CC1350STK

The SimpleLink CC13x0 SDK is part of TI’s SimpleLink MCU platform, offering a single development environment that delivers flexible hardware, software and tool options for customers developing wired and wireless applications.

SimpleLink™ CC13x0 Software Development Kit (SDK) 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.

TI 15.4-Stack is an IEEE 802.15.4-based software stack part of the SimpleLink Low Power F2 SDK that supports a Star network topology for wireless applications. TI 15.4-Stack provides a complete end-to-end wireless application development solution to reduce time and cost of getting your product to market.

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

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.

SmartRF Flash Programmer 2 can be used to program the flash memory in Texas Instruments ARM based low-power RF wireless MCUs over the debug and serial interfaces. The flash programmer includes both a graphical user interface and a command line interface.
