Introduction
This document describes the Software Development Kit (SDK) version 1.1.0 for use with the
CC3100 SimpleLink Wi-Fi Network Processor device mounted on the CC3100 BoosterPack
development platform.
The same SDK is also applicable to Pre-production devices. Errata section of the document
describes the minor performance limitations of Pre-Production Devices.

Getting Started
Please follow the on-line CC3100 Quick Start Guide to start using the CC3100 BoosterPack
development platform.
Please download the CC3100 Getting Started Guide to get started with your project
development.

o In Group Owner mode FAST connection policy should be set to TRUE
Rx Filters
o BSSID can't be filtered while STA is connected (if filtered will cause disconnection)
Power Management
o The device will remain in active after initialization until the host reads all events
Host
o The Host driver is assuming that a Char value is equal to 1 Byte. MCU (like CC2000) that
support different configuration won’t work with the Host Driver as is. The only option is to
port the driver manually to the MCU architecture
File System
o Up to 100 user files
o File size is limited to 1MByte (No error will be returned while trying to create a larger size)
Setting device Mode
o Changing the device role (STA<->AP<->P2P) requires to reset the device
o Setting network configurations after setting the device role (without reset) can lead to
system halt
o Setting the device mode is persistent and SFLASH endurance must be considered on use
cases that requires switching between roles
o Network configuration is applicable to the current role of the device
Default State - With no other configuration the default state of the device is as follows:
o STA mode
o Regulatory domain is US (channel 1-11)
o Connection policy – AutoStart and AutoSmartConfig
o DHCP - Enable

The following section covers known issues and performance limitations with CC3100 production
and pre-production devices.
11.1 Hardware
11.1.1 Pre-regulated 3.3v to Pin 47
For preproduction devices connect an external pre-regulated 3.3v +/- 5% supply to pin 47
(VDD_ANA2). This adds 12mA average current and up to 100mA peak current over 20uSec to the
total system current at 3.3V.

CC3100 SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi®
SDK v1.1.0 Release Notes

The CC3100 BoosterPack version 3.3 already includes the correct supply configuration for the preproduction device and also adds a 10uF capacitor to filter the peak currents. No further action is
required.
The external 3.3V supply is not required in the CC3100 production device in which case pin 47
should be left not connected.
11.1.2 Power consumption increase
Power consumption of the CC3100 pre-production device in all active modes is 1-2 mA higher
compared to the CC3100 production devices

Host: Driver may get stuck on ARC compiler by default due to inconsistency of volatile

The ARC compiler has a non-standard mode on by default where any volatile variable
is accessed as "uncached". This may cause issues if the same memory is accessed
both as volatile pointer and without the volatile qualification as the compiler will
access directly (bypassing the cache) on some accesses and through the cache on
others (causing a cache coherency issue).
