Title: TI CC-debugger from eBay?
Post by: onesixright on April 10, 2017, 09:25:01 am

Anyone that has experience with the CC-Debugger from eBay?

eBay auction: #http://www.ebay.com/itm/CC-Debugger-and-Programmer-Downloader-for-RF-System-on-Chips-ICSH015A-/291997463057?hash=item43fc67b211:g:LUYAAOSw44BYdjx8

The price difference is substantial, like 10 USD on eBay vs 60 USD on ti's website.

Thanks!

I need one for one-off use, so didn't feel too guilty about buying a clone. It worked fine.

If its anything like the Keil u-Link clones you will have  no static protection on the USB side and reduced static protection the device side!  :palm:

So okay to use if you observe static handling precautions and likely to fail quickly if you dont!

This one works, and is cheaper
