    Operating Systems The CC3220 SDK currently supports TI-RTOS and FreeRTOS. Each real-time kernel port consists of three files that contain the core kernel components and are common to every port, and one or more files that are specific to a particular microcontroller and/or compiler. Each directory contains files specific to a particular compiler (CCS, GCC, and IAR).

  • Page 13: Execute Your First Application

    The SDK supports the following device variants: • CC3220 – Base variant • CC3220S – CC3220 + MCU security • CC3220SF – CC3220S + internal flash The SDK is packed with precompiled binaries for several networking and peripheral examples. By default, the sample applications are built for the CC3220SF variant.
