  • SmartRF04EB is active as well.

    http://www.ti.com/tool/cc2510-cc2511dk,  the CC2510-CC2511 Development Kit contains two SmartRF04 evaluation boards.

  • but the development board we buy to evaluate the cc2430 soc that is obsolete

  • Hi Lei Chen1,

    There are several differences between the two boards with regards to peripherals (LCD, breakout I/O, etc.).

    The SmartRF04EB does not support newer LPRF SoCs and transceivers from Texas Instruments. It supports the following transceivers: CC1100, CC1100E, CC1101, CC2500, CC2550, and the following SoCs: CC1110/11, CC2510/11, CC2430.

    Lei Chen1, if this didn't help, pelase as a more specific question, and I may be able to answer you better.
