RTOS/CC2640R2F-Q1: Simple Central Project Doesn't Show app_ble.cfg [TI RTOS] Properly...Doesn't Open TI RTOS for Changes

Part Number: CC2640R2F-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2640

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Using the latest released version of the stack and CCS v7.1 the example projects show app_ble.cfg in the TOOLS folder but they don't show the [TI RTOS] next to it that was seen in previous versions of stack and CCS.  If I click on this file it just opens a text reference to another file rather than launching the TI RTOS configuration for the BLE project.  Why is this happening?

Older projects:

  • Hi Marc,

    Your images are not showing. Can you try uploading them again.

  • Hi Marc,

    I guess your "old" project is MultiRole for either BLE 2.2.1 or an older Stack version which you got off of Github. Basically all our Apps made examples provided on Github includes the config file directly, whereas the example projects in the SDK rather links to common config files.

    If you go the file being pointed to in your "new" project you will see that the content is the same. You will find it here: C:\ti\simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk_1_30_00_25\source\ti\blestack\common\cc26xx\kernel\cc2640\config

  • Hi Fredrik,

    The issue is that in the new projects the TI RTOS GUI viewer that allows you to see a GUI or choose the cfg script file for editing doesn't open.  How do I get this to open with the TI RTOS GUI view mode to make changes?  I had opened the referenced file manually but why doesn't the GUI viewer for TI RTOS work anymore????

  • Hi Marc,

    It's just the way these individual project cfg settings are distributed in the ble examples.

    Feel free to copy/paste the content of the referenced file into the .cfg file that is specific to that application, replacing the import statement.

    Best regards,

  • Aslak,
    Please see my question / picture above with regards to the TI RTOS GUI vs. cfg script in CCS. Why doesn't the GUI open up anymore or how can I change in CCS so it does open this way again?

  • Hi Marc,

    I cannot answer on the GUI question, but what do you need to change and why can you not just change it in the text file?

  • Hi Fredrik,
    It's a question of why does the interface keep changing from release to release? Some of the SimpleLink Academy training actually uses or did use the TI RTOS GUI for making mods (rather than the direct edit of the cfg script). Also, now when I open the cfg script manually it is all black text rather than showing the code highlights/coloring you would expect.

  • Hi Marc,

    Let me see if I can loop in some of the CCS guys. We only develop the SW, not the IDE.

  • Thanks Fredrik.

    CCS tools team....any update yet?
