2.4 GHz SimpliciTI™ Protocol on Stellaris® The Stellaris® 2.4 GHz SimpliciTI™ Wireless Kit (DK-EM2-2500S) from Texas Instruments provides a low-power RF network solution for customers’ end equipment. The solution combines TI’s easy-to-use SimpliciTI™ protocol with the new Stellaris EM2 expansion board and the Chipcon CC2500EM 2.4 GHz evaluation module along with the full suite of tools an engineer needs to develop and prototype 2.4 GHz wireless embedded applications with Stellaris. The DK-EM2-2500S wireless kit works with our most popular Stellaris microcontroller development kit, the DK-LM3S9B96 (sold separately). Polling with Access Point SimpliciTI’s open-source software is aimed at simple, small RF networks and was designed for easy implementation on several TI RF platforms. Such networks typically contain a limited number of battery-operated devices which require long battery life, low data rate, and low duty cycle that talk either directly to each other or through optional access points and range extenders. The minimal resource requirements for a SimpliciTI™ implementation make it a perfect low-cost solution for wireless communication. Kit Contents – Access point – End device – Range extender Access Point as Data Hub – Access point – End device – Channel sniffer Access Point for eZ430-Chronos (with the CC1101EM, sold separately) Stellaris® DK-LM3S9B96 Development Kit START Sub-1 GHz Frequency Range Modulation 2.4 GHz Proprietary 2.4 GHz Standard 802.15.4 Stellaris® LPRF Solution SimpliciTI Software Stellaris® DK-EM2-2500 S Wireless Kit FINISH The Stellaris® SimpliciTI™ solution allows software application developers to become familiar with the operation of the CC2500EMK using their Texas Instruments’ Stellaris embedded microcontroller platform without having to be concerned about the RF portion of the system. The Stellaris EM2 expansion board facilitates the connection of up to two wireless expansion modules using SPI as the primary interface to the DK-EM2-2500S module.
