CC3200: CC3200 DriverLib vs CC3220 SDK

Part Number: CC3200
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3220SF

Hello,

I will start a new project and must choose between cc3200 and cc3220.

1- I tried example codes of cc3200 and its driverLib library is rom-mapped. Is there source code of driverLib at anywhere? The latest version of driverLib is 1.3 and released 14 Feb 2017, so will be there a new release?

2- I saw there is Simplelink SDK for cc3220 and it is newer. Is it rom-mapped like driverLib? Must it more preferred for the software support?

Thank you!

    Hi,

    1. At CC3200 is as peripheral library used driverlib. This library is available in ROM but also can be mapped into code section. Source code of driverlib you find at CC3200 SDK (\cc3200-sdk\driverlib\).

    2. At 2nd generation of SimpleLink WiFi devices is as default peripheral library used TI drivers. TI drivers is a library with higher level of abstraction and allows porting of code between devices in SimpleLink platform. But as any higher level library there are some disadvantage. TI drivers requires little bit more resources and features are more limiting than driverlib. At  CC3220 are officially supported TI drivers but driverlib is still there and is almost same as driverlib at CC3200. In fact TI drivers use internally driverlib.

    BTW ... if you want start new project, you should choice CC3220. It is much better at similar price. Especially CC3220SF is a nice device.
