CC1310: easy USB to UART interfacing?

Part Number: CC1310

Team,

What are the options to add USB interfacinf to a CC1310 device for a proof of concept ?
The LAUNCHPAD (http://www.ti.com/tool/launchxl-cc1310)  supports USB but are there other alternatives?

-Are there some other easy alternative to add a USB interface to our Third party "ready to use" modules ?
-I have seen in some E2E post that some USB-TTL UART adapter could be used (for example this post). Correct? Which one do we recommend?
-Are the different TI GUI tools (SmartRF studio, Flash tools,..etc) usable with a USB-TTL UART adapter connected to a third party module? or does the XCC1310 JTAG interface required instead of UART?

Thanks in advance,

Anthony

  • Hi Anthony,

    If they need UART, it's a relatively cheap option to go with launchpads. Alternatively a custom board with any old USB-UART chip should do the trick. This will give them only UART (obviously) so programming would have to be done through the ROM Serial Bootloader, or with an external debugger.

    If you are talking about e.g. SmartRF Studio, you need JTAG. The Flash Programmer supports the serial bootloader.

    I dont think we recommend any specific USB-UART device.

    Best regards,
