Documentation
If anything is missing in the CC85XXDKHEADSET please contact your local TI
sales representative.
Caution! The kit contains ESD
sensitive components. Handle
with care to prevent permanent
damage.
2. Purpose of this Quick Start
Guide
This quick start guide will provide step-bystep instructions showing how to set up an
audio link between two wireless units
provided in the development kit.
The CC8531 on each of the boards are
pre-programmed with firmware to stream
audio from the Master microphone input to
the Slave headphone output. Please
follow step 3 to 9. Information on how to
upgrade with latest firmware, see step 10.
For more details on CC85XX, see the
product folder of the CC8520 [1].
Performance and functionality of the
CC8531 are strongly dependant on the
firmware. Thus, for performance testing
etc make sure the firmware used is the
latest released firmware from the TI web
site, see step 10.
3. Plug the batteries to each of
the Headset boards
There’s only one way to connect the
battery plug to the socket on the board.
With the pre-programmed firmware the
CC8531 enters the OFF power mode
when the battery is connected. The
batteries should have enough charge outof-the-box to establish a link and stream
audio. To charge the battery, see section
9. With full battery the link should run for
typically 15 hours, the Master being the
bottleneck. The Slave plays audio for 22
hours typically.
Warning! Always use the battery supplied
with the kits with the CC85xx Headset
boards.
4. Power up both boards
In the pre-programmed firmware the
toggling between power modes OFF and
ON is mapped to pressing the rocker
switch IN for 1.6 seconds. The two boards
are unpaired out-of-the-box, so in the ON
power mode the topmost LED should flash
once every second indicating network
state ALONE . In the OFF power mode
the LED is turned off. Make sure both
boards are flashing.
Caution! To minimize risk of injury, avoid
touching components during operation if
symbolized as hot.
Do not leave EVM powered when
unattended.
5. Connect an audio source to
the Master
Connect an audio source (CD-player,
MP3-player or similar) to the line in
connector on the Master Headset board
(labeled Master on the back side) via the
3.5mm jack cable.
The Master is pre-programmed with
firmware to set up the onboard
TLV320AIC3204 codec [2] to power down
the DAC and use the line in connector as
source to the ADC input.
6. Connect a headphone to the
Slave
Connect a headphone to the 3.5mm
headphone output on the board labeled
Slave on the back side.
The Slave is pre-programmed with
firmware to set up the onboard
TLV320AIC3204 codec [2] to power down
the ADC and have the headphone
connector as destination of the DAC
output.

7. Pairing
In the pre-programmed firmware the
pairing button is mapped to pressing the
rocker switch IN (not hold, which is power
toggling as described in 4).
Press the pairing button on either board
and observe that the LED blinking pattern
changes. It will now flash two times per
second which indicates that the device is
trying to pair with another device.
If the pairing button on the other board is
pressed within 10 seconds the devices will
pair. The Master status LED will be
constantly lit, and the Slave status LED
will flash once every 2.5 seconds. Audio is
now being streamed to the Slave.
When successfully paired the Slave will
save the Master’s device ID in non-volatile
memory and automatically try to pair with
this Master whenever in the ALONE state.
Thus pressing the pairing buttons again
will no longer be necessary (unless the
Slave is re-programmed or paired with
another Master).
8. Volume control
The pre-programmed Slave firmware is
configured to have so-called “local volume
control” meaning that the Slave controls
its own volume locally. The volume
buttons are mapped to clicking/holding the
rocker switch UP and DOWN.
9. Charging
To charge the battery, simply connect the
USB micro cable while the battery is also
connected. The charge voltage should be
5V (plugging the USB cable in your
computer will work perfectly). The bottom
LED will be lit indicating charging. When
the battery is fully charged the LED will go
dark.
The Headset board can be powered from
USB alone (remove the battery and
connect USB cable). Then the LED will be
lit the whole time.
Audio can be streamed while charging.
For information about the single chip
charger and DC/DC converter, see [4].
10. PurePath Wireless
Configurator
The next step is to download the PurePath
Wireless Configurator (PPWC) [3]. PPWC
makes it possible to explore all the
configuration options of the CC85XX
family. After creating device configurations
for Master and Slave network roles,
PPWC can program the CC85XX devices
directly through the CCDebugger
(included in the kit).

Please read and observe the following warnings and precautions to ensure correct
and safe use of the Li-ion batteries included in this development kit.
Danger!
Failure to observe the following precautions may result in battery leakage, overheating,
explosion and/ or fire.
Do not immerse the battery in water or allow it to get wet.
Do not use or store the battery near sources of heat such as a fire or heater.
Do not use any chargers other than those included in this kit.
Do not reverse the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals.
Do not connect the battery directly to wall outlets or car cigarette-lighter sockets.
Do not put the battery into a fire or apply direct heat to it.
Do not short-circuit the battery by connecting wires or other metal objects to the positive
(+) and negative (-) terminals.
Do not carry or put the battery together with necklaces, hairpins or other metal objects.
Do not strike, throw or subject the battery to sever physical shock.
Do not pierce the battery casing with a nail or other sharp object, break it open with a
hammer, or step on it.
Do not directly solder the battery terminals.
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery in any way.
Do not recharge the battery near a fire or in extremely hot conditions.
Warning!
Failure to observe the following precautions may result in battery leakage, overheating,
explosion and/ or fire.
Do not place the battery in a microwave oven or pressurized container.
Do not use the battery in combination with primary batteries (such as dry-cell batteries)
or batteries of different capacity, type or brand.
Do not use the battery if it gives off an odor, generates heat, becomes discolored or
deformed, or appears abnormal in any way. If the battery is in use or being recharged,
remove it from the device or charger immediately and discontinue use.
Keep the batteries out of the reach of children. If a child somehow swallows a battery,
seek medical attention immediately.
If the battery leaks or emits an odor, immediately remove it from the proximity of any
exposed flame. The leaking electrolyte can ignite and cause a fire or explosion.
If the battery leaks and electrolyte gets in your eyes, do not rub them. Instead, rinse
them with clean running water and immediately seek medical attention. If left as is,
electrolyte can cause eye injury.
