Development Kit Texas Instruments CC2533DK

The CC2533DK development kit supports TI's second generation 2.4GHz IEEE 802.15.4 compliant System-on-Chip, the CC2533, and contains all hardware, software, and tools necessary to build your ZigBee RF4CE or 802.15.4-compliant product.

Detailed Description

The CC2533DK includes CC2533-based evaluation modules, development boards, a USB interface dongle, cables, antennas and documentation to get you up and running with the CC2533 fast. The CC2533EM evaluation modules can be plugged into SmartRF05EB boards, which are included in the Development Kit. The evaluation modules can be used as a reference module for prototyping and for verifying the performance of the CC2533 RF IC. The CC2533 RF SoC enables both consumer and industrial grade applications by offering state-of-the-art selectivity/co-existence, excellent link budget, operation up to 125°C and low voltage operation. The CC2533DK comes with various software examples including the ZigBee RF4CE compliant networking stack.

Texas Instruments: CC2533DK

Features
The CC2533DK contains the following:

  • 2 × CC2533EM Evaluation Modules
  • 2 × 2.4 GHz Antennas
  • 2 × SmartRF05EB Evaluation Boards
  • 1 × CC2531 USB Dongle
  • USB cables and documentation

The SmartRF05 Evaluation Board (SmartRF05EB or simply EB) is the motherboard in several development kits for Low Power RF devices from Texas Instruments.
The board has a wide range of user interfaces, such as

  • 3×16 character serial LCD
  • Full speed USB 2.0 interface
  • UART
  • LEDs
  • Serial Flash
  • Potentiometer
  • Joystick
  • Buttons
  • Breakout pins

The EB is the platform for the evaluation modules (EM) and can be connected to the PC via USB to control the EM.

The CC2533DK is supported by IAR Embedded Workbench for 8051 (version 7.60 and higher), which is used with the RF4CE networking stack. IAR EW8051 contains a compiler, assembler, linker and debugger, supporting on-chip debugging and singlestepping using the SmartRF05EB or CC Debugger as debugger probes. IAR EW8051 is included in the development kit with a 30-day evaluation licenses (online registration required). By contacting IAR, a 30-day extension of the license can be obtained.
