1.1 CC3200 LaunchPad Development Kit

The high-performance CC3200 is the industry's first single-chip microcontroller (MCU) with built-in Wi-Fi® connectivity for the LaunchPad™ ecosystem. Created for the Internet of Things (IoT), the SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3200 device is a wireless MCU that integrates a high-performance Arm®Cortex®-M4 MCU allowing customers to develop an entire application with a single IC. With on-chip Wi-Fi, internet, and robust security protocols, no prior Wi-Fi experience is needed for faster development.

The CC3200 LaunchPad development kit is a low-cost evaluation platform for Arm Cortex-M4F-based microcontrollers. The LaunchPad kit design highlights the CC3200 Internet-on-a-chip™ solution and Wi-Fi capabilities. The CC3200 LaunchPad kit also features programmable user buttons, RGB LED for custom applications, and onboard emulation for debugging. The stackable headers of the CC3200 LaunchPad XL interface demonstrate how easy it is to expand the functionality of the LaunchPad kit when interfacing with other peripherals on many existing BoosterPack™ plug-in modules, such as graphical displays, audio codecs, antenna selection, environmental sensing, and more. Figure 1 shows a photo of the CC3200 LaunchPad kit.

Free software development tools are also available, including TI’s Eclipse-based Code Composer Studio™ and IAR Embedded Workbench®. More information about the LaunchPad kit, the supported BoosterPack modules, and the available resources can be found at TI’s LaunchPad portal. Also visit the CC3200 Wiki page for design resources and example projects.

NOTE

The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
