I am using CC2538SF53RTQT, what debugger can I use?

The one mentioned on ti website

TMDSEMU200-U

is too expensive.

Is there an alternative?

Hi,

Just adding to daniel_o reply, the TMDSEMU110-U is the cheapest standalone Debug Probe compatible with CC2538. Just be sure that you are using Code Composer Studio version 7 or newer.

Hope this helps,

Rafael

The cheapest alternative is to buy https://www.ti.com/tool/LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1 and use its XDS110 debugger for your CC2538
