7 Device and Documentation Support

7.1 Device Support

7.1.1 Development Support

The CC3100 evaluation board includes a set of tools and documentation to help the user during the development phase.

7.1.1.1 Radio Tool

The SimpleLink radio tool is a utility for operating and testing the CC3100 chipset RF performance characteristics during development of the application board. The CC3100 device has an auto-calibrated radio that enables easy connection to the antenna without requiring expertise in radio circuit design.

7.1.1.2 Uniflash Flash Programmer

The Uniflash flash programmer utility allows end users to communicate with the SimpleLink device to update the serial flash. The easy GUI interface enables flashing of files (including read-back verification option), storage format (secured and nonsecured formatting), version reading for boot loader and chip ID, and so on.

7.1.2 Device Nomenclature

To designate the stages in the product development cycle, TI assigns prefixes to the part numbers of the CC3100 device and support tools (see Figure 7-1).

7.5 Electrostatic Discharge Caution

esds-image

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.

ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.
