Introduction
The SimpleLink™ CC26x2 Software Development Kit (SDK) delivers components that enable engineers to develop applications on the Texas Instruments SimpleLink CC26x2 family of wireless micro controller (MCUs). This powerful software toolkit provides a cohesive and consistent software experience for all SimpleLink CC26x2 wireless MCU users by packaging essential software components, such as a Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) protocol stack supporting Bluetooth 5, Thread 1.1 networking stack based on OpenThread (https://github.com/openthread/openthread), TI’s 15.4 Stack as well as the TI-RTOS kernel and TI Drivers in one easy-to-use software package along with example applications and exhaustive documentation.
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 (SDK) allows you to reuse often, opening the door to create unlimited applications.

What’s New
- Secure off-chip OAD for BLE5-Stack. This feature allows images to be signed and verified in order to ensure firmware updates are from a trusted source.
- The multirole example for the BLE5-Stack now supports advertising, scanning and initiating connections on all supported PHYs and any combination of supported PHYs.
- Native OAD for TI-OpenThread, enabling network node firmware updates.
- Support for Z-Stack, TI’s Zigbee® 3.0 compliant protocol suite. (This feature was previously contained in a separate plug-in.) Visit www.ti.com/zigbee to learn more about the benefits of Zigbee 3.0.
- Added the dynamic multi-protocol manager (DMM). The DMM lets you run two stacks simultaneously. In this release, the following stacks are supported: BLE-Stack and TI 15.4-Stack.
- SysConfig 1.0 example projects have been added for the following stacks: BLE5-Stack, Thread and TI 15.4-Stack. SysConfig is a graphical tool for configuring your project in CCS.
Maintenance release of the TI 15.4-Stack software component.
