Their "Trusted Root Catalog" is a total fiasco as well. They were one of the AWS IoT launch partners and they apparently repeatedly failed to including AWS root authorities in their catalog. They were responsive in acknowledging, but typically took a month plus to actually update the SDK, (released quarterly,) to address it.

They did finally provide a method to use a custom root CA for SSL a year later, https://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless-connectivity/wifi/f/968/....

They seemingly failed to comprehend why anyone would not want to use TI's chain of trust, that is not manufacturer customizable, on proprietary IoT devices. This was explicitly an issue for code signing as well, as it required obtaining a third-party code signing certificate from any number of CA's instead of using our explicit root CA.
