SimpleLink™ Low Power SDK F3 8.10.00.55 Release Notes
Table of Contents
Introduction
The SimpleLink™ Low Power F3 Software Development Kit (SDK) delivers components that enable engineers to develop applications on the Texas Instruments SimpleLink CC23xx family of wireless microcontrollers (MCUs). This software toolkit provides a cohesive and consistent software experience for all SimpleLink CC23xx wireless MCU users by packaging essential software components, such as a Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) protocol stack supporting Bluetooth, Proprietary RF examples, and TI Drivers in one easy-to-use software package along with example applications and documentation.
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 8.10.00.55 of the SimpleLink Low Power F3 SDK.

Documentation
What’s New
- Device support for CC2340R22 and its temperature variations.
- Initial release of GenMap feature for SysConfig. For more information please navigate to the User’s Guide and into the SysConfig section.
- BLE5-Stack Extended Advertising preview.
- The BLE5-Stack can be configured to account for the inaccuracies of its sleep-clock. When properly configured, this feature allows the device to be used as a Bluetooth peripheral without using a Low Frequency (LF) crystal.
Refer to the Document Overview for the individual release notes and details for starting development with each SDK component.
Upcoming Migration to CCS Theia
We are excited to announce a migration to the next generation of CCS, CCS Theia! It is based on Eclipse’s next generation Theia IDE open source framework.
Throughout the 2024 SimpleLink SDK releases (8.x), we will be migrating from CCS Eclipse to CCS Theia. As project files are intentionally compatible, importing examples will work in either IDE. However there are some internal changes (e.g. ROV implementation), so there may be feature gaps.
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.
Transition Roadmap
Version | Date | CCS IDE support |
---|---|---|
8.10 and 8.20 | 1H 2024 | CCS 12.x is the primary development environment. CCS Theia is also supported, but may have minor feature gaps. |
8.30 and 8.40 | 2H 2024 | CCS Theia is the primary development environment. CCS 12.x is deprecated - that is, it’s supported, but not recommended. |
9.10 and later | 2025 | CCS Theia is the only supported CCS IDE. |
For more information on CCS Theia, see the CCS Theia Users Guide.
Operating System Support
- Windows® Windows 10
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64-bit
- macOS 13.x
Dependencies
The sample applications included in this SDK were built & tested with the IDEs and listed below:
- TI Code Composer Studio: CCS Eclipse 12.7.0 and CCS Theia 1.4.0
- TI ARM Clang Compiler: 3.2.2.LTS
- SysConfig: 1.20.0
- UniFlash: 8.7.0
- IAR Embedded Workbench: 9.50.2
Compiler Settings: Default CCS configurations (optimization level z)
Note: Earlier IDE/toolchain versions are not supported and compatibility with newer versions of supported IDEs is not assured.
Device Support
This SDK supports the following SimpleLink CC23xx wireless MCUs:
Device | LaunchPad | Migrate from these examples |
---|---|---|
CC2340R5RKP | LP_EM_CC2340R5 | N/A |
CC2340R5RGE | None | LP_EM_CC2340R5 |
CC2340R5RHB | None | LP_EM_CC2340R5 |
CC2340R53RKP | LP_EM_CC2340R53 | N/A |
CC2340R22RKP | None | LP_EM_CC2340R53 |
CC2340R2RGE | None | LP_EM_CC2340R53 |
The devices listed in the table above include packaging variants, and recommend either:
- A LaunchPad containing the device that this SDK provides examples for, or
- A LaunchPad this SDK provides examples for that can be used to SysConfig-migrate to the device.
Versioning
