Stellaris 2.4 GHz CC2560 wireless Kit
enables Bluetooth evaluation in 10 minutes
Texas Instruments Incorporated has announced the Stellaris
2.4 GHz CC2560 Bluetooth Wireless Kit (DK-EM2-2560B) to
quickly start Bluetooth-enabled designs. The kit has TI's
CC2560 Bluetooth solution and proven Bluetooth stack within
StellarisWare software. Stellaris MCUs are paired with TI's
Bluetooth solution targeting tasks such as streaming audio;
remote control and data transfer in industrial and consumer
applications.
The Stellaris 2.4 GHz CC2560 Bluetooth Wireless Kit is
designed to be modular and can be combined with the same
Stellaris DK-LM3S9B96 Development Kit that serves as a baseboard
for other Stellaris wireless solutions. When coupled with
the DK- LM3S9B96 development board, the kit includes all
hardware and software needed to jumpstart development. It
also speeds the design process, as engineers are able to
evaluate the working Bluetooth solution within 10 minutes
or less using the included quick-start application says
TI.
Stellaris 2.4 GHz CC2560 Bluetooth Wireless Kit includes:
Software:
StellarisWare software, including peripheral driver library
and example source code
Bluetopia Bluetooth stack - developed by Stonestreet One
and licensed, delivered and supported by TI - which includes
the Serial Port Profile (SPP), Advanced Audio Distribution
Profile (A2DP) and Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)
with sample applications
