The TI Bluetooth Low Energy Software Development
Platform
2.1 Overview
The TI royalty-free, Bluetooth Low Energy software development kit is a complete software platform for
developing single-mode Bluetooth Low Energy applications. The kit is based on the CC2540/41 complete
System-on-Chip (SoC) solution. The solution combines a 2.4-GHz RF transceiver, microcontroller, up to
256KB of in-system programmable memory, 8KB of RAM, and a full range of peripherals.
2.2 Configurations
The platform supports two different stack and application configurations:
• Single-Device: The controller, host, profiles, and application are implemented on the CC2540/41 as a
true single-chip solution. This configuration is the simplest and most common when using the
CC2540/41 devices. TI uses this configuration in most sample projects. The configuration is the most
cost effective and provides the lowest-power performance. The SimpleBLEPeripheral and
SimpleBLECentral projects are examples of applications built using the single-device configuration. For
more information on these projects, see Chapter 3.
