Zephyr 3.7.0-ti-8.40.00_ea
Pre-release
SimpleLink Zephyr v3.7.0-8.40.00_ea Release
Texas Instruments Zephyr GitHub repository is the downstream fork of
Zephyr and is the starting point
for developers wanting to start developing Zephyr applications.
The SimpleLink™ downstream Zephyr releases are intended as an additional demo
platform and eventually where the production grade TI SimpleLink™ Zephyr SDKs
will be hosted. The team is also working on upstreaming this content to
mainline Zephyr.
Disclaimer
This release is provided as-is and should be considered beta quality.
This product is meant for demonstration purposes only.
Supported Devices
| Device | Board | Quality Level |
|---|---|---|
| CC2340R5 | LP_EM_CC2340R5 | Beta |
| CC2340R53 | LP_EM_CC2340R53 | Beta |
Other devices and boards have not been tested in this release.
What's New
Drivers:
- Updated content in hal_ti to match the 8.40.00.61 LPF3 SimpleLink SDK.
- Added the hwinfo driver for the cc23xx SoC.
System:
- Zephyr Power management is now supported for the cc23x0 SoC.
- Device Power management is also supported.
- PM and device PM are by default enabled on the supported devices.
- Supported power modes are: active, runtime-idle, standby and soft-off.
- Soft-off can only be entered through a manual
pm_state_force()call.
- Implemented the sys_poweroff and sys_reboot APIs for the cc23x0 SoC.
BLE:
- Adds new mesh_uart bridge sample, which demonstrates creation
and use of Vendor Models. - Adds new mesh_blob_shell sample, which demonstrates the use of BLOB
Transfer Models. - Adds new peripheral_multiple_adv sample, which demonstrates creation
of multiple advertising sets.
Fixed Issues
- Fixed various warnings about uninitialized variables in RCL handlers.
Known Issues & Limitations
BLE:
- PM is currently not supported on BLE FOTA.
- Central GATT Write example can only be executed in cc2340R53 due to RAM limitations.
- Potential DMA conflicts between SimpleLink Crypto Drivers and Zephyr Peripheral drivers such as UART.
- Secure connections pairing has limited testing
- FOTA requires logging to be disabled to be executed on cc2340r5 due to RAM limitations.
Debug:
- OpenOCD support for XDS110 + CC23x0 is soon available
- Please see the "TI Embedded Debug for VS Code" extension for VS Code.
- Alternatively, Code Composer Studio or Uniflash can be used for flash/debug with the XDS110.
