General Terms and Acronyms¶
- Customer Configuration
- CCFG
- Customer Configuration is set by the application and contains configuration parameters for the ROM boot code, device hardware, and device firmware. It contains lock-bits on the last page of flash. You can read more in the Customer Configuration section in the CC26x2 Technical Reference Manual.
- Code Composer Studio
- CCS
- An integrated development environment to develop applications for Texas Instruments embedded processors
- cJTAG
- Class 4 IEEE 1149.7: Standard for Reduced-pin and Enhanced-functionality Test Access Port and Boundary-scan Architecture. This is known by acronym cJTAG (compact JTAG).
- IAR
- Refers to IAR Systems’ IAR Embedded Workbench, which is an integrated development environment used for building and debugging embedded applications.
- JTAG
- IEEE standard 1149.1: Standard Test Access Port and Boundary Scan Architecture Test Access Port (TAP). This standard is known by the acronym JTAG (Joint Test Action Group).

- A BLE network processor implementation that supports the peripheral and broadcaster GAP Roles.
- Application Processor
- AP
- The host MCU that implements the user application. Connected to a network processor via a serial interface such as NPI
- Unified Network Processor Interface
- UNPI
- A standardized serial transport format that is implemented by TI for the purposes of interfacing to network processor devices like the SNP. UNPI also manages the handshaking required for the serial interface.
- Real Time Software Components
- RTSC
- See RTSC and RTSC-Pedia.
- Versatile Instruction Memory System

Over the Air Download (OAD) Terms and Acronyms¶
- BIM
- Boot Image Manager
- A bootloader that runs after the device’s ROM startup code. The BIM is responsible for analyzing the image header of all images and determing the most suitable image to run. Once the BIM has found the proper image, it will jump to it’s program entry.
- Factory Image
- The factory image is a “golden” image that resides in external flash as a failsafe mechanism.
- OAD
- Over the Air Download
- The process of performing a device firmware update over the air.
- OAD Target
- The device whose firmware is being upgraded over the air. This is assumed to be a CC26xx device running the TI protocol specific transport for OAD.
- OAD Distributor
- The device responsible for accepting an OAD enabled image from the compiler and transferring it over the air to the OAD Target.
