CC1310: 802.15.4 and Easylink

Part Number: CC1310

What is the difference between 802.15.4 and Easylink in terms of restrictions and etc

  • EasyLink: The CC13xx EasyLink API is a simple abstraction layer on top of the CC13xx RF Driver and is intended as a starting point for customers creating a proprietor Sub1G protocol. Since this is a abstraction layer with full source code you can generate settings from SmartRF Studio and use what even datarate etc you want. You can also easily change/ add to the code to fit your requirements. This gives the freedom to implement your protocol or stack with the cost of development time.

    The 15.4 stack is a star network stack complying with a standard. The user has only access to the code for the application layer and it supports only given datarates and frequencies. If you can use one of these you have a full stack up and running within hours shorting down development time.
  • ok bro well I am developing a project in this right now which is more effective to develop in short time and between when we compare both what are their restrictions?
  • It could be that the question is easier to answer if you give a short spec on what you want to implement.

    What do you want to know more about restrictions in addition to the details given in my last post?
  • in terms of frequency? and am trying to whereby to use cc3220 and cloud so which is more easier form to use i mean...and in a short period of time...which is not time consuming to develop

  • Frequencies and datarates supported by the 15.4 stack is stated here: dev.ti.com/.../ti154stack-overview.html

    EasyLink supports the frequencies and datarates CC1310 supports. CC3220 is a wifi chip meaning that you can't communicating over the air with it (different frequency, different protocol). Use UART etc.

    Again: It could be that the question is easier to answer if you give a short spec on what you want to implement.
  • maximam how many nodes can be used in easylink?
  • Easylink provide RF driver to configures the modulation scheme. It's difficult to say how many maximum number of node can be connected by Easylink. It depends on how your application uses Easylink.
