3 Getting Started Hardware

The hybrid RF and PLC communications design is built with two standard EVMs: the LAUNCHXL-CC1310 (http://www.ti.com/tool/launchxl-cc1310) and the TMDSPLCKITV4-CEN (http://www.ti.com/tool/tmdsplckitv4-cen), shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8, respectively. For PLC, this reference design is configured as CENELEC-A band in software with the TMDSPLCKITV4-CEN platform. Depending on user applications, the TIDM-SOMPLC-FCC (http://www.ti.com/tool/TIDM-SOMPLC-FCC) or the TMDSPLCKITV4-ARIB (http://www.ti.com/tool/TIDM-SOMPLC-ARIB) can be also used with the LAUNCHXL-CC1310 EVM. Similarly, the CC1310 can be replaced with the CC1350 or other CC wireless MCUs with some modification on the example software provided with the reference design.
