The SimpleLink™ Low Power SDKs support the CC13xx, CC23xx and CC26xx family of products. Together, these SDKs provide comprehensive software packages for the development of Sub-1 GHz and 2.4 GHz applications including support for Bluetooth® Low Energy, Mesh, Zigbee®, Matter, Thread, 802.15.4-based, proprietary, and multiprotocol solutions on the SimpleLink CC13xx, CC23xx and CC26xx wireless MCUs.
The SimpleLink Low Power SDK family is designed to support families of devices including:
Support varies per SDK and device. Across this software family there is support for proprietary, Sub-1 GHz and 2.4 GHz applications including:
The SimpleLink™ Low Power F2 Software Development Kit (SDK), formerly known as the CC13xx and CC26xx SDK, delivers components that enable engineers to develop applications on the Texas Instruments SimpleLink CC13xx and CC26xx family of wireless microcontrollers (MCUs). This software toolkit provides a cohesive and consistent software experience for all SimpleLink CC13xx and CC26xx wireless MCU users by packaging essential software components, such as a Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) protocol stack supporting Bluetooth 5.2, Zigbee 3.0 compliant protocol suite, RF-Proprietary examples, TI’s 15.4 Stack, TI Wi-SUN FAN Stack, Amazon Sidewalk examples, as well as the TI-RTOS7 and FreeRTOS™ kernels and TI Drivers in one easy-to-use software package along with example applications and documentation. In addition, the Dynamic Multi-Protocol Manager (DMM) software component enables multiprotocol development on a single SimpleLink wireless MCU.
Although not included in the SDK, SimpleLink CC13xx and CC26xx wireless MCUs are also capable of supporting the following wireless solutions: Please refer to their respective repositories for resources and more information.
The SimpleLink MCU portfolio offers a single development environment that delivers flexible hardware, software, and tool options for customers developing wired and wireless applications. With 100 percent code reuse across host MCUs, Wi-Fi™, Bluetooth Low Energy, Sub-1GHz devices and more, choose the MCU or connectivity standard that fits your design.

Supported Features and Limitations
CC23xx
CC27xx
LAES & HSM Limitations
The CC27xx family of devices now include a Hardware Security Module (HSM) for cryptographic and key storage features.
For crypto drivers that support the HSM and LAES, a failure in the HSM bootup process will be cached in the driver’s handle or will return a NULL handle (AESGCM, ECC, RNG Drivers). If the user attempts to perform an HSM operation later, it will return an error due to the cached initialization error. LAES operations would continue to function without issue in that case.
For drivers that support running operations on both hardware accelerators, for primarily AES drivers, a switch has been implemented so that the driver knows which engine to use to execute the operation on. This switch is part of the cryptography operation’s key. The key encoding of each key, part of the input parameters to drivers’ APIs, holes the value of the engine-of-choice.
NOTE:
SimpleLink Zephyr Release
Texas Instruments Zephyr GitHub repository is the downstream fork Zephyr and is the starting point for developers wanting to start developing Zephyr applications. The SimpleLink™ downstream Zephyr releases are intended as an additional demo platform and eventually where the production grade TI SimpleLink™ Zephyr SDKs will be hosted. The team is also working on upstreaming this content to mainline Zephyr.
