Development Kits

Order a development kit to get started:
CC2541 Mini Development Kit KeyFob, USB dongle and CCDebugger. Allows easy development of a BLE periperal using the USB dongle as a PC host. The dongle can also be used as a packet sniffer and the keyfob can be directly connected to a phone.

CC2541 Sensor Tag Development Kit 6 different sensors neatly packaged with a BLE-enabled RF SoC. A great introduction to the world of BLE peripherals with it's associated iOS app.

CC2540 Development Kit The CC2540 development kit provides a complete hardware performance test platform and generic software development environment for single-mode Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) applications. The kit includes two CC2540-based RF evaluation modules, one CC2540-based USB dongle, general purpose development boards (SmartRF05EB) for software and hardware prototyping, cables, antennas and documentation to get you up and running with the CC2540 quickly and easily.
