Product Description
Texas Instruments SmartRF06 Evaluation Board – Development Platform for CC2538 ZigBee/802.15.4 SoC
This used Texas Instruments SmartRF06 Evaluation Board (SMARTRF06EBK) is a comprehensive development platform designed for Low Power RF ARM Cortex-M based System-on-Chips from TI . The SmartRF06EB acts as the motherboard in development kits for CC2538 and other wireless SoCs, providing all necessary peripherals for radio performance testing and software development .
The motherboard is intended to be used with wireless Evaluation Modules such as the CC2538EM for ZigBee and 802.15.4 applications at 2.4GHz . It integrates the XDS100v3 debug probe, enabling downloading and debugging of software running on the target ARM-based SoC device . The board supports IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM and Code Composer Studio (CCS), as well as SmartRF™ Studio PC software for full SoC control via the high-speed USB 2.0 interface .
Condition Note: This board is untested and sold as-is. The radio module is likely not included; only the motherboard is included unless specified otherwise.
