CC31XXEMUBOOST Board

3.1.1

Overview

The CC31XXEMUBOOST board is designed to connect the BoosterPack™ module to a PC through a
USB connection. This connection updates the firmware patches, which are stored in the serial flash on the
BoosterPack, and in software development using SimpleLink Studio. The board is also used to measure
the RF performance using a software tool named

RadioTool

. For more information, see the

CC32xx Radio Tool

wiki page.
