SimpleLink™ cc13xx_cc26xx SDK 7.40.00.77 Release Notes
Table of Contents
Introduction
The SimpleLink™ Low Power F2 Software Development Kit (SDK), formerly known as the CC13xx and CC26xx SDK, delivers components that enable engineers to develop applications on the Texas Instruments SimpleLink CC13xx and CC26xx family of wireless microcontrollers (MCUs). This software toolkit provides a cohesive and consistent software experience for all SimpleLink CC13xx and CC26xx wireless MCU users by packaging essential software components, such as a Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) protocol stack supporting Bluetooth 5.2, Zigbee 3.0 compliant protocol suite, RF-Proprietary examples, TI’s 15.4 Stack, TI Wi-SUN FAN Stack, Amazon Sidewalk examples, as well as the TI-RTOS7 kernel and TI Drivers in one easy-to-use software package along with example applications and documentation. In addition, the Dynamic Multi-Protocol Manager (DMM) software component enables multiprotocol development on a single SimpleLink wireless MCU.
Although not included in the SDK, SimpleLink CC13xx and CC26xx wireless MCUs are also capable of supporting the following wireless solutions: Please refer to their respective repositories for resources and more information.
- The Matter standard: https://github.com/TexasInstruments/matter
- Thread 1.1.1 networking stack based on OpenThread: (https://github.com/TexasInstruments/ot-ti)
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 allows you to reuse often, opening the door to create unlimited applications. For more information, visit www.ti.com/simplelink.
This is version 7.40.00.77 of the SimpleLink Low Power F2 SDK. This SDK is also available on GitHub at https://github.com/TexasInstruments/simplelink-lowpower-f2-sdk
Documentation
What’s New
- S-NS (tfm_xx) examples in Proprietary RF and TI 15.4 stack have been migrated to TFMv1.8
- FreeRTOS source is now included in the SDK installer
- Advanced features in Wi-SUN stack including network join time improvement
Refer to the Document Overview for the individual release notes and details for starting development with each SDK component.
Refer to the included Change Log for a summary of new features and fixed issues since the last SDK release.
If you want to download or install a subset of the SimpleLink F2 SDK components, please use SDK composer on TI Resource Explorer. This feature lets you select only the SDK components you need and save up to 1.1 GB on the installation size.
- Navigate to this SDK on TI Resource Explorer
- In the left panel containing the folder tree, hover over the SDK. This displays three dots.
- Click on the three dots and then on download. Now, select only the components you need!
Upgrade and Compatibility Information
- Most example projects in the SDK use SysConfig to configure RF stacks, multi-protocol functionality, CCFG, drivers and peripherals. For more information about SysConfig, see SimpleLink Academy.
- If you want to migrate from one device to another within the same SDK, you can use the SysConfig Migration Tool. Learn more about it in the SysConfig migration documentation.
- TI-RTOS7 based examples will consume additional flash memory for CC13x2/CC26x2 and CC13x2R7/CC26x2R7 devices when compared to legacy TI-RTOS examples.
GPIO_setMux()
has been deprecated for being unsafe regarding pin output stability when called under certain conditions. It has been replaced byGPIO_setConfigAndMux()
which applies a pin configuration and mux setting at the same time.- Bluetooth Mesh examples have been deprecated. To access these examples, please use SIMPLELINK CC13XX-CC26XX SDK 6.30.00.84
Operating System Support
- Windows® Windows 10
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64-bit
- macOS 13.x
