Validation Information

Known Issues

IMPORTANT NOTICE ON CC1350 BLUETOOTH(R) SMART: This TI RTOS release contains a pre-release version of the Bluetooth Smart radio configuration for CC1350. The Bluetooth Smart settings/overrides in this release should not be used in production of CC1350-based products. The CC1350 production-ready Bluetooth Smart settings/overrides are in their final stages of verification, and it should be expected that some radio-specific timings and parameters can change in the production release. This notice does not apply to the Bluetooth Smart settings/overrides for CC2640/50.

Versioning

All releases have 4 digits (M.mm.pp.bb). This includes GA and engineering releases. Engineering releases are denoted with an _eng suffix (e.g., 2.00.00.15_eng)

This product’s version follows a version format, M.mm.pp.bb, where M is a single digit Major number, mm is 2 digit minor number, pp is a 2 digit patch number, and b is an unrestricted set of digits used as an incrementing build counter.

To support multiple side-by-side installations of the product, the product version is encoded in the top level directory (e.g. tirtos_2_00_00_16).

Subsequent releases of patch upgrades will be identified by the patch number, ex. TI-RTOS 1.00.01.68 with directory tirtos_1_00_01_68. Typically, these patches only include critical bug fixes.
