CC Debugger
1 Introduction
The CC Debugger is primarily used for Flash programming and debugging software running on CCxxxx
8051-based System-on-Chip (SoC) devices from Texas Instruments. The PC tools available for these
purposes are the SmartRF ™ Flash Programmer [9] from Texas Instruments and IAR Embedded
Workbench
®
for 8051 from IAR Systems [15].
When connected to the debugger, the SoC devices can be controlled directly from SmartRF™ Studio [8].
SmartRF Studio is also able to control supported CCxxxx RF transceivers (CC2520, CC2500, CC110x,
CC11xL, CC112x, CC120x) when they are connected to the debugger as explained in Section 6.3.
In addition, the CC Debugger is used for configuring the CC85xx devices with the PurePath Wireless
Configurator [12] and controlling them with the PurePath Wireless Commander [13].
