Product Description
The CC1180 is a cost-effective, low power, sub-
1GHz 6LoWPAN Network Processor that
provides 6LoWPAN functionality with a
minimal development effort.
The CC1180 is a preloaded version of
CC1110F32, where TI third party Sensinode’s
6LoWPAN stack, NanoStack 2.0 Lite, runs on
the CC1180 Network Processor. The application
controlling the Network Processor runs on an
external host microcontroller. The CC1180
handles all the timing critical and processing
intensive 6LoWPAN protocol tasks, and leaves
the resources of the application microcontroller
free to handle the application.
CC1180 makes it easy to add 6LoWPAN
functionality to new or existing products at the
same time as it provides great flexibility in
choice of microcontroller. How to use
Sensinode NanoStack 2.0 is described in the
User’s Guide SWRU298.pdf.
CC1180 interfaces almost any microcontroller
through a UART interface; CC1180 can e.g. be
combined with an MSP430.
The CC1180 contains a bootloader, Sensinode
NanoBoot. The bootloader is used to
download the Sensinode 6LoWPAN stack,
NanoStack 2.0 Lite.
CC1180 supports Sensinode’s simple NAP
protocol API. The NAP Protocol API has only a
small amount of API calls to learn, which
drastically simplifies the development of
6LoWPAN applications. The API has a socket
like approach, to enable easy and fast
integration between the host and network
processor.
CC1180 comes preloaded with Sensinode
NanoBoot and a TI IEEE EUID (MAC
address); the MAC address can be read and
written using NanoBoot.
Key Features
Simple integration of 6LoWPAN with mesh
support into any design
Running Sensinode’s mature and stable
6LoWPAN mesh stack, NanoStack 2.0 Lite
UART interface to microcontroller running
the application
Supports updating of the NanoStack 2.0
Lite 6LoWPAN stack using Sensinode
NanoBoot API. Over-The-Air updates are
supported, provided that the host
microcontroller has enough memory to
store the new stack image.
