Terms and acronyms¶
General Terms and Acronyms¶
- CCFG¶
- Customer Configuration¶
Customer Configuration is set by the application and contains configuration parameters for the ROM boot code, device hardware, and device firmware. It contains lock-bits on the last page of flash. You can read more in the Customer Configuration section in the CC23xx SimpleLink Wireless MCU Technical Reference Manual.
- CCS¶
- Code Composer Studio¶
An integrated development environment to develop applications for Texas Instruments embedded processors. Download: Code Composer Studio
- DTB¶
- Digital Test Bus¶
Internal clocks and interrupts can be brought out to I/O pins via DTB muxing. Refer to the CC23xx SimpleLink Wireless MCU Technical Reference Manual for more details.
- FreeRTOS¶
A free, open source Real Time Operating System(RTOS).
- eRPC¶
- Embedded Remote Procedure Call¶
An open source Remote Procedure Call (RPC) system for multichip embedded systems and heterogeneous multicore SoCs.
- GCC¶
- GNU Compiler Collection¶
A compiler system produced by the GNU Project, which support various programming languages such as C and C++.
- IAR¶
Refers to IAR Systems’ IAR Embedded Workbench, which is an integrated development environment used for building and debugging embedded applications.
- MCU¶
- Microcontroller Unit¶
A small computer on a single integrated circuit.
- NVS¶
- Non-Volatile Storage¶
Storage of data in non-volatile memory (NVM). NVM retains saved data during power cycles. In the context of CC23xx devices, NVM either refers to the internal flash or some external flash.
- PTX¶
Primary Transmitter or “PTX” is the device that acts as the transmitter in the system most of the time.
- PRX¶
Primary Receiver or “PRX” is the device that acts as the receiver in the system most of the time.
- ROM¶
- Read-only Memory¶
Type of non-volatile memory used in computers. Once data is written to ROM, the data cannot be removed and can only be read.
- RTSC¶
- Real Time Software Components¶
A toolset for creating reusable code, used by TI-RTOS. See RTSC and RTSC-Pedia.
- SWD¶
- Serial Wired Debug¶
It is a 2-pin debug interface defined by Arm. See ARM_SWD_PROTOCOL for more information.
- SysConfig¶
- System Configuration Tool¶
SysConfig is a graphical interface for configuring software projects. Configuration files, C source files and header files are generated based on the parameters configured in the SysConfig dashboard. See Get started with SysConfig.
- TI-CLANG¶
- TI Arm Clang Compiler Toolchain¶
The TI Arm Clang Compiler Toolchain (tiarmclang) is the next generation TI Arm compiler, replacing the previous TI Arm Compiler Tools (armcl). You can use the tiarmclang compiler toolchain to build applications from C, C++, and/or assembly source files to be loaded and run on one of the Cortex-M or Cortex-R Arm processors that are supported by the toolchain. You can find more information here.
- VIMS¶
- Versatile Instruction Memory System¶
A system control module that handles access to the device memory areas from the CPU and system bus. You can read more in the CC23xx SimpleLink Wireless MCU Technical Reference Manual.
- .bss¶
Block started by symbol. This memory section usually contains uninitialized variables including the task stacks.
