SimpleLink™ CC13xx CC26xx SDK 8.30.00.121 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 and FreeRTOS™ kernels 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 8.30.00.121 of the SimpleLink Low Power F2 SDK. This SDK is also available on GitHub at https://github.com/TexasInstruments/simplelink-lowpower-f2-sdk

What’s New
- Example projects and RF settings for the upcoming CC2674P10 LaunchPad™ development kit for SimpleLink multi-standard wireless MCU.
- CCS Theia, now supports all SimpleLink F2 devices. Please use version 1.5.0 or newer. For more information, see Upcoming Features.
- The new TI Log driver simplifies adding log statements to your application without compromising on memory or processing power. The following SW modules are instrumented: Power driver, UART2 driver, TI 15.4-Stack.
- The Wi-SUN gateway example for Linux, wfantund, now supports using external authentication server and/or external DHCP server. It also supports Router Node configuration for the first time.
- The TI Wi-SUN Stack has three new Network Profiles which simplify network configuration.
- MCUboot is updated to version 2.0 and now supports using an encrypted image. You can now configure MCUboot in SysConfig.
- DMM now supports closing a handle, opening the possibility of using more than two handles in one application.

Upcoming Features
We are thrilled to announce the release of Code Composer Studio v20, the culmination of years of dedication and hard work from our team! This release represents a significant milestone in our journey to provide best-in-class IDEs for our customers. CCS is now based on the Theia framework, which allows us to provide a ‘VS Code’ like experience for both desktop and cloud – a first in the embedded industry! CCSv20 supersedes the CCSv12.8 release stream for all supported TI Devices. No further releases of the Eclipse based product are planned, see the Transition Roadmap for more details. CCSv20 downloads can be accessed from the ti.com tools folder: https://www.ti.com/tool/download/CCSTUDIO Documentation and Video collateral to support the release can be found here:
- Getting Started Video
- CCS Academy
- Migration Guide
- CCS User’s Guide
- Getting Started Video
- Quick Tip Videos
We recommend customers who are starting new development programs to leverage CCS Theia from the start, and existing users of CCS Eclipse to take the time to transition to CCS Theia, see Migration Guide for help migrating from CCS Eclipse IDE to CCS Theia IDE.
Please note the following features are not yet supported in CCS Theia:
- TI RTOS Run-time Object Viewer (ROV)
- Energy Trace running without an active debug session
Upgrade and Compatibility Information
- 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 Migration documentation.
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.
Operating System Support
- Windows® Windows 10
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64-bit
- macOS 13.x
