Is there a way to flash the board/ upload a program wirelessly? Also, what is the best way to power the board while using a battery?

Nicholas Mazzella,

You can do Over the air downloads as long as the BIM (boot image manager) image is flashed on the board.

I am not sure I understand the second question, if the board is powered by a battery why would you need a separate source?

Regards,
AB

Okay how would I do an over the air download? and how do I flash the BIM?

And in the second question im just asking how to use a battery to power the board. I have a 3.6 V battery and want to know where to solder the postive and negative terminals to the board.

Try to rever to dev.ti.com/.../index-ble3-cc2640.html for over the air download. 3.6V battery might be too high voltage to connect to LAUHCHXL-CC2640R2F. You can remove all jumpers between XDS110 and CC2640R2 and give 3.3V direct to the 3.3V pin on bottom of LAUHCHXL-CC2640R2F
