7 Device and Documentation Support
7.1 Device Support
7.1.1 Development Support
TI offers an extensive line of development tools, including tools to evaluate the performance of the
processors, generate code, develop algorithm implementations, and fully integrate and debug software
and hardware modules. The tool's support documentation is electronically available within the Code
Composer Studio™ Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
The following products support development of the CC2538 device applications:
Software Development Tools: Code Composer Studio™ Integrated Development Environment (IDE):
including Editor C/C++/Assembly Code Generation, and Debug plus additional development tools
Scalable, Real-Time Foundation Software (DSP/BIOS™), which provides the basic run-time target
software needed to support any CC2538 device application.
Hardware Development Tools: Extended Development System (XDS™) Emulator
For a complete listing of development-support tools for the CC2538 platform, visit the Texas Instruments
website at www.ti.com. For information on pricing and availability, contact the nearest TI field sales office
or authorized distributor.
7.1.2 Device Nomenclature
To designate the stages in the product development cycle, TI assigns prefixes to the part numbers of all
microprocessors (MPUs) and support tools. Each device has one of three prefixes: X, P, or null (no prefix)
(for example, CC2538).
Device development evolutionary flow:
X
Experimental device that is not necessarily representative of the final device's electrical
specifications and may not use production assembly flow.
P
Prototype device that is not necessarily the final silicon die and may not necessarily meet
final electrical specifications.
null
Production version of the silicon die that is fully qualified.
Support tool development evolutionary flow:
X and P devices are shipped against the following disclaimer:
"Developmental product is intended for internal evaluation purposes."
Production devices have been characterized fully, and the quality and reliability of the device have been
demonstrated fully. TI's standard warranty applies.
Predictions show that prototype devices (X or P) have a greater failure rate than the standard production
devices. Texas Instruments recommends that these devices not be used in any production system
because their expected end-use failure rate still is undefined. Only qualified production devices are to be
used.
TI device nomenclature also includes a suffix with the device family name. This suffix indicates the
package type (for example, RTQ) and the temperature range (for example, blank is the default commercial
temperature range).
For orderable part numbers of CC2538 devices in the RTQ package types, see the Package Option
Addendum of this document, the TI website (www.ti.com), or contact your TI sales representative.
