Hi all, I'm beginning a project using keil uVision3 on a TI CC2510 chip. I don't want to buy the developer board from TI. What cheap and well functioning products should I use that will enable me to program the MCU's flash and debug it on target using uVision3 ?
Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated.
I just wonder if will not make (hopefully) quailified suggestions for using better choice, how are you going to manage in the real world where chip choice actually matter re money/productivity? or will you be one of those academice that we have to retrain when they enter the real world where practice meet theory?

Erik thank you very much for your time and your answers.
I am in the "real world", working for over a year on a chipcon project in a "real world" company using the TI DK. The only reason I chose this academic project in the first place is in order to save me time which is even more precious than money in the "real world". Unfortunately the university doesn't have the money (not for a BSc final project anyway...) required for the development environment of the chip they chose so they sent me on a quest to look for something they can afford.
Suggest that you contact Keil Sales directly. I am under the impression that Keil has in the past supported legal academic projects very generously. Bradford
... but TI ($650)
what you 'can' do is to make your own board (with RF that's going to be fun) and use Keil (which it seems - based on your posts - the uni has).
Keil won't be able to help with the TI kit - for that you will, obviously, have to contact TI.
Again, it would be worth contacting TI to see if they will loan or even donate a kit...
TI do also have a lot of low-cost develeopment tools; eg, their eZ430-RF2480...
Boy, I need to read better. Because this was on a Keil forum, I assumed it was a Keil product. Duh!. I should know better. Sorry about the mis-information. Bradford
