SimpleLink SDK TI 15.4 Stack Plugin Quick Start Guide
Table of Contents
1. Introduction
SimpleLink SDK Plugins are designed to work in tandem with the SimpleLink MCU specific SDK. This plugin is designed to work alongside the SimpleLink MSP432P4 SDK, SimpleLink MSP432E4 SDK, and the SimpleLink CC3220 SDK. The plugin relies on several core elements within those SDKs. Without a prior installation of one of the supported SimpleLink SDKs, the SimpleLink SDK TI 15.4 Stack Plugin will not work.
This guide explains how to install the SimpleLinkTM SDK TI 15.4 Stack Plugin and lists the various other tools required to get started with your first application.
2. Prerequisites
The user is expected to have the following:
- Collector:
- SimpleLink CC1310 LaunchPad as MAC CoProcessor to SimpleLink MCU host
- Supported SimpleLink MCU LaunchPad - one of:
- SimpleLink CC3220S LaunchPad
- SimpleLink CC3220SF LaunchPad
- SimpleLink MSP432P401R LaunchPad
- SimpleLink MSP432P4111 LaunchPad
- SimpleLink MSP432E401Y LaunchPad
- Nodes:
- Additional SimpleLink CC13XX LaunchPad as 15.4 sensor node to demonstrate collector example
- A computer running Microsoft® Windows® 7+,Linux or macOS
- At least one of the following IDE supported by the SimpleLink CC3120 SDK:
- GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain, 7-2017-q4-major
- FreeRTOSv10.0.0 (Optional)
- The SimpleLink SDK TI 15.4 Plugin does not deliver FreeRTOS sources.
If the User wants to use FreeRTOS with the SDK, the user is expected to download the FreeRTOS source from www.freertos.org.

- TI Uniflash
3 SDK - Download and Installation
3.1 Using the SDK Plugin Online
A quick and easy way to start working with the SDK Plugin is to use TI Resource Explorer on dev.ti.com.
This online tool lets you explore the contents of the SimpleLink SDK TI 15.4 Stack Plugin. You can build the examples directly using the cloud version of Code Composer Studio.
If you choose to use the SDK online, there is no need to download anything to your local computer or install any tools.
3.2 Installing the SDK Plugin
You can also download the SimpleLink SDK TI 15.4 Stack Plugin from TI Resource Explorer or the software product page on TI’s website.
4. Updating system files in the CC1310
It is required to flash the CC1310 MAC CoProcessor with the latest coprocessor firmware. The firmware can be found in <PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR>/tools/cc13xx_tools/cc1310_cop_firmware/
.
4.1 Connecting CC1310 LaunchPad to PC
- Verify that the jumpers on the CC1310 LaunchPad should be connected as shown in the following figure:
- Connect the micro-USB port of the CC1310 to the PC using a micro-USB cable.
4.2 Programming the CC1310 MAC CoProcessor
See the Updating the CC1310 section of the User’s Guide.
5. QuickStart for CCS IDE ( CCS or GCC Projects )
Please see your host MCU’s SDK Quick Start Guide for instructions on how to setup your IDE and toolchain.
6. Application User guide
- Each example has a README.html that details the Example Application Design Details and how each example works.
