CC3135: Using CC31xx with non-TI MCU

Part Number: CC3135
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SIMPLELINK-SDK-WIFI-PLUGIN, CC3100, CC3120

Hi,

My customer is interested in using CC31xx with non-TI MCU.
SIMPLELINK-SDK-WIFI-PLUGIN can be ported to non-TI MCU, right?

What is minimum requirements for MCU (memory, core frequency, etc.)?
I guess it is usecase dependent, so typical usage would be ok.

Thanks and regards,
Koichiro Tashiro

  • Hi Koichiro Tashiro,

    Yes, the CC31xx devices can be used with non-TI MCUs. The Network Processor User's Guide has a section called "Porting the Host Driver" that explains this process. (Please note the SimpleLink SDK Wi-Fi Plugin supports the CC3120 and CC313x devices, but not the CC3100.)

    You can find all hardware requirements in the datasheet, but the CC31xx includes it's own RAM for executing the networking stack and can support microcontrollers with any clock speed. The microcontroller needs to support the host interface via SPI or UART, and the host driver library code size (about 30KB).

    Best regards,

    Sarah
