CC2560ARVMR

CC2560ARVMR is TI’s CC2560 Bluetooth Classic (BR/EDR) evaluation module (ARV/MR variant). It packages the CC2560 radio/controller with the ROM-based Bluetooth stack on a small board and exposes a host interface to an external microcontroller. It’s designed to add Bluetooth to embedded systems quickly: connect your MCU to the module via HCI over UART (and optional PCM for SCO), then use TI software examples to implement profiles (SPP, HID, etc.). The module is pre-certified for common regulations and includes the RF front-end, crystal, regulators, and supporting circuitry. It runs TI’s CC256x software/SDK, enabling rapid prototyping, testing, and validation before a custom PCB design. For details, consult the CC2560 datasheet, hardware user guide, and SimpleLink documentation for pinouts, timing, and programming.

- Pin count: 64-pin (QFN package) for CC2560ARVMR.
- Function: TI CC2560A Bluetooth controller in an RVM (Reference Value Module). It integrates the RF transceiver and controller and exposes interfaces to a host MCU via UART, SPI, and PCM, along with power, clock, reset, GPIOs/interrupts, and status signals. For exact pinout and signal names, refer to the CC2560ARVMR datasheet/User Guide.

- Manufacturer: Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI).
- What kind of company: An American multinational technology company that designs and manufactures semiconductors and integrated circuits, specializing in analog, mixed-signal, and embedded processing products.

CC2560ARVMR is TI’s evaluation/reference module for the CC2560 Bluetooth controller (BR/EDR and dual‑mode). It’s used to prototype and validate Bluetooth‑enabled embedded systems. Common applications include:
- Wireless audio accessories (headsets, hands‑free car kits, speakers)
- Mobile/computer peripherals (keyboards, mice, game controllers)
- Automotive telematics and infotainment links
- Medical and fitness devices with short‑range data transfer
- Industrial sensing, remote controls, and automation peripherals
- General IoT/embedded products needing Bluetooth connectivity
It supports HCI with a host MCU for rapid development.

Package type: Reference Validation Module (RVM) – a pre-packaged CC2560A module, not a bare IC.
