Introduction

This repository contains Bluetooth® Low Energy & Proprietary RF sample applications for Texas Instruments' SimpleLink CC13xx / CC26xx SDK, SimpleLink CC2640R2 SDK, and SimpleLink Low Power F3 SDK.

These examples are each hosted on different branches of this repo. Please reference the table below to find examples for each of these SDKs.

These examples have not been validated as production-ready.

Do not use GitHub's bug tracking feature for support. For inquiries, see the Bluetooth® low energy Forum and the Other Wireless Technologies Forum.

To use the examples and tools in this repository, please download and install the relevant SDK listed in a given branch first, and if necessary obtain the required evaluation kit:

If you have any questions please refer to the FAQ page.
