The Radio Tool serves as a control panel for direct access to the radio, and can be used for both the radio
frequency (RF) evaluation and for certification purposes. This guide describes how to have the tool work
seamlessly on Texas Instruments™ evaluation platforms such as the BoosterPack™ plus FTDI emulation
board for CC31xx devices, and the LaunchPad™ for CC32xx devices.

The main use of the Radio Tool is to serve as a control panel for direct access to the radio. The tool can
be used for the radio frequency (RF) evaluation, and for certification purposes (such as FCC, ETSI, Telec,
and so on). The tool is expected to work seamlessly on TI evaluation platforms: BoosterPack plus FTDI
emulation board for CC31xx devices, and LaunchPad for CC32xx devices. If customers want to use the
tool on their final platform, see
same voltage that powers the CC31xx and CC32xx devices).
