This is not going to take too long for you to test your first Contiki program which will enable you to test your environment setup and also to understand the procedure of development using Contiki-os for the target chips CC2530 and CC2531.
The port is done only for CC2530 and then it is extended to CC2531 so you just have to add another line to your build file so it compiles for the right target. Almost all the features of the chip are available using contiki. The following link for the feature matrix is from the official wiki [17.10.2014]

- Only on devices with the RC2301 (cc2431F128)
- LED 4 is mapped to the same port/pin as B1. The current implementation configures the pin as input and supports the button.
- The board has two buttons but only B1 is connected to the SoC
- Driver not implemented
