| TI's New Development Kit Merges Stellaris ARM Cortex-M3 MCU Performance with 7th-Generation CC2560 Bluetooth Solution | | |
July 18, 2011 -- Texas Instruments, Inc. (TI) today announced the Stellaris 2.4-GHz CC2560 Bluetooth Wireless Kit aimed at jump-starting Bluetooth-enabled designs. The kit includes the high-throughput, power-efficient CC2560 Bluetooth solution and proven Bluetooth stack within StellarisWare software. The performance and integration of Stellaris MCUs pair with TI's Bluetooth solution to help developers address the demand for more streaming audio, remote control and data transfer in industrial and consumer applications.
With this offering, TI further expands its portfolio of complete microcontroller and wireless technology solutions, which includes 16- and 32-bit MCUs backed by ZigBee, low-power wireless, RFID, and Bluetooth hardware and software. The Stellaris 2.4-GHz CC2560 Bluetooth Wireless Kit is 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 jump-start 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.
