Development Tools

    SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® Starter Pro

    The supported devices are: CC3100, CC3200, CC3120R, CC3220x, CC3135, and CC3235x.

    The SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® Starter Pro mobile App is a new mobile application for SimpleLink™ provisioning. The app goes along with the embedded provisioning library and example that runs on the device side (see SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® SDK plugin and TI SimpleLink™ CC32XX Software Development Kit (SDK)). The new provisioning release is a TI recommendation for Wi-Fi provisioning using SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® products. The provisioning release implements advanced AP mode and SmartConfig™ technology provisioning with feedback and fallback options to ensure successful process has been accomplished. Customers can use both embedded library and the mobile library for integration to their end products.
    SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® SDK plugin The CC3135 device is supported.

    The CC3135 SDK contains drivers, many sample applications for Wi-Fi® features and internet, and documentation needed to use the CC3135 Internet-on-a chip™ solution. This SDK can be used with TI’s MSP432P401R LaunchPad™, or SimpleLink™ Studio, a PC tool that allows MCU development with the CC3135 device. You can also use the SDK as example code for any platform. All sample applications in the SDK are supported on TI’s MSP432P401R ultra-low power MCUs with Code Composer Studio™ IDE and TI RTOS. In addition, many of the applications support IAR.
    SimpleLink™ Studio for CC31xx The CC31xx device is supported.

    SimpleLink™ Studio for CC31xx is a Windows®-based software tool used to aid in the development of embedded networking applications and software for microcontrollers. Using SimpleLink™ Studio for CC31xx, embedded software developers can develop and test applications using any desktop IDE, such as Visual Studio or Eclipse, and connect their applications to the cloud using the CC31xx BoosterPack™ Plug-in Module. The application can then be easily ported to any microcontroller. With the SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® CC31xx solution, customers now have the flexibility to add Wi-Fi® to any microcontroller (MCU). This Internet-on-a-chip solution contains all you need to easily create IoT solutions: security, quick connection, cloud support, and more. For more information on CC31xx devices, visit SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® solutions.
    SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® Radio Testing Tool

    The supported devices are: CC3100, CC3200, CC3120R, CC3220, CC3135 and CC3235x.

    The SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® Radio Testing Tool is a Windows-based software tool for RF evaluation and testing of SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® CC3x20 and CC3x35 designs during development and certification. The tool enables low-level radio testing capabilities by manually setting the radio into transmit or receive modes. Using the tool requires familiarity and knowledge of radio circuit theory and radio test methods.

    Created for the internet-of-things (IoT), the SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® CC31xx and CC32xx family of devices include on-chip Wi-Fi®, Internet, and robust security protocols with no prior Wi-Fi® experience needed for faster development. For more information on these devices, visit SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® family, Internet-on-a chip™ solutions.
