Module Description
The CC256x QFN EM board is the development environment for the CC256x family and plugs directly into Texas
Instruments MSP430 and Stellaris experimenter boards with the added benefit of header connectors that simplify
prototype wiring and field trials.
This family is based upon Texas Instrument’s CC256x integrated circuits and uses a Host Controller Interface (HCI),
a cost effective and flexible means to implement a Bluetooth network. HCI reduces BOM cost by eliminating
redundant processing capacity and giving designers the flexibility to work with a controller of their choosing, as the
Bluetooth stack resides and executes on the application
’s host processor.
The CC256x QFN EM board is intended for evaluation purpose and works with Texas Instrument’s Hardware
Development Kit. Please refer to
Tools and Software Section.
To aid in the implementation of this reference design, schematic and layout files are available on the CC256x Main
Wiki page.
