TI 15.4 Stack Linux x64 2.04.00.19 Release Notes
Table of Contents
Version: 2_04_00_19
This document is for version 2_04_00_19 GA (GA= General Availability) build.
Introduction
The TI 15.4-Stack released as part of the SimpleLink CC13x0 SDK supports a Star network topology for Sub-1GHz applications. TI 15.4-Stack software runs on TI’s SimpleLink™ Sub-1GHz wireless microcontrollers, including the CC1310 and CC1350. Devices running TI 15.4-Stack offer key benefits, such as longer range in the FCC band and better protection against in-band interference through use of frequency hopping. TI 15.4-Stack provides a complete end-to-end long range wireless application development solution to reduce time and cost of getting your product to market quickly.
Developers targeting products based on TI 15.4-Stack-2.4.0 have two architecture choices for their product development. First option is to have entire TI 15.4-Stack application and stack can run within the SimpleLink CC13x0 MCU (as an embedded application) while the second option is to have the application running on a host (running Linux OS, etc) interfacing to the SimpleLink ULP CC13x0 MCU running the MAC Co-Processor Application.
This TI 15.4-Stack Linux SDK provides example Linux host applications, tools, documentation that allow to develop products using the architecture option two using a Linux host interfacing with the CC13x0 running MAC CoProcessor as described above.

Upgrade and Compatibility Information
- To migrate your current Linux Application based on TI 15.4-Stack-2.3.0 Linux Collector Example Application to TI 15.4-Stack-2.4.0, it is preferred that developers bring in the application specific changes done over the out of box collector example application into the new project files. The changes/updates in the TI 15.4-Stack-2.4.0 release primarily are in the files collector.c/h, cllc.c/h, csf.c/h.
- It is recommended to use the MAC CoP application from the TI 15.4-Stack-2.4.0 included in the SimpleLink CC13x0 SDK.
