help Texas Instruments CC2642R FAQ
Which wireless protocols can the TI CC2642R run?
The CC2642R is primarily a 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy wireless MCU and supports Bluetooth 5.2 features through TI's software stack. Unlike the multiprotocol CC2652R, it is not the usual choice when the same product must also run Zigbee or Thread.
Can the CC2642R use Bluetooth long-range coded PHY modes?
Yes. TI supports the Bluetooth LE 125 kbps and 500 kbps coded PHY modes, which trade data rate for greater receiver sensitivity and potential range.
How much flash memory does the CC2642R provide?
The device provides up to 352 KB of nonvolatile flash for application code and data. Developers should still budget memory for TI's Bluetooth stack, bootloader, application, and any over-the-air update strategy.
Is Bluetooth Mesh support built into the CC2642R hardware?
The radio and MCU can run Bluetooth Mesh software, but mesh behavior comes from the Bluetooth stack and application firmware rather than a dedicated mesh circuit. TI's SimpleLink SDK is the normal starting point for development.
