SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3100 BoosterPack

This version of the SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3100 BoosterPack is based on pre-production silicon, which can be used for evaluation and software development. Kits and QFN devices, as well as module samples based on production silicon meeting datasheet performances will be available from TI or authorized distributors later this summer. For more information, please see the CC3100 Software Development Kit (SDK) Release Notes for details of pre-production silicon vs. production silicon.

The SimpleLink Wi-Fi® CC3100 BoosterPack can be used to connect to TI LaunchPad evaluation kits (software examples provided for MSP-EXP430F5529LP), and with the Advanced Emulation BoosterPack for SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3100 BoosterPack to connect to PC for MCU Emulation using SimpleLink Studio for CC3100. This kit can also be connected to other platforms through pins – use the programming guide for instructions on porting driver and sample code.

This kit comes in 3 configurations:

1. CC3100BOOST + CC31XXEMUBOOST + MSP-EXP430F5529LP: run all software in the CC3100 software development kit (SDK) and develop on MSP430F5529 MCU

2. CC3100BOOST + CC31XXEMUBOOST: used for any CC3100 development

3. CC3100BOOST: standalone CC3100 BoosterPack purchase option if you already have CC31XXEMUBOOST

With the SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3100 solution, customers now have the flexibility to add Wi-Fi to any microcontroller (MCU).  This Internet-on-a-chip solution contains all you need to easily create IoT solutions – security, quick connection, cloud support and more.  For more information on CC3100, visit http://www.ti.com/simplelinkwifi.
