help LaunchPad CC2650 FAQ
Can I use the TI LaunchPad CC2650 for Zigbee and 6LoWPAN projects, or is it Bluetooth only?
The CC2650 microcontroller is a multi-protocol wireless MCU from Texas Instruments that supports Bluetooth Low Energy, Zigbee, and 6LoWPAN. However, the LaunchPad CC2650 kit ships with TI's BLE-Stack, so you'll need to download the TIMAC or SimpleLink SDK from TI's website to activate Zigbee or 6LoWPAN modes.
What software do I need to program the LaunchPad CC2650?
The LaunchPad CC2650 is programmed using Texas Instruments' Code Composer Studio (CCS) or IAR Embedded Workbench. TI also provides the BLE-Stack SDK which includes example projects for Bluetooth Low Energy peripherals and central role applications to get you started quickly.
Does the LaunchPad CC2650 include onboard debugging?
Yes, the LaunchPad CC2650 includes an integrated XDS110 debug probe for flashing and debugging over USB. This means you can start development immediately without purchasing an external debugger like the XDS110 standalone or J-Link.
What is the difference between the CC2650 and the newer CC2652 LaunchPad?
The CC2650 uses an ARM Cortex-M3 core while the newer CC2652R1 features a more powerful ARM Cortex-M4F processor with more Flash and RAM. The CC2652 LaunchPad also supports the newer SimpleLink SDK with better multi-threading and Thread/Matter protocol support.
