CC3000 Full SPI Command Set Documentation ?

I have found the API document and I'm able to read some of it using annotated.html as a starting point but the main page won't display.  I could hunt around and try all the files but it would be easier for users to know how to use it.  Readme.txt?

This doesn't eliminate my original request as it appears the document is just a high-level API, not the actual byte mapping on the SPI link.

And, it would be helpful to have documentation of the conditions under which the module will present IRQ to the host, and how the IRQ is cleared.

The more I wander through the documentation and code, the more frustrated I become in terms of understanding the module's true operation.  Which commands generate a response?  All?  Why do we need to poll the module every 500ms? -- huge burden on host.  Yes, I could continue to go through the code and reverse engineer module operation by carefully studying every nuance in the code...or we could have a document.

If the document doesn't exist and can't be created in a reasonable amount of time (days), it would be helpful to know that quickly.  Then it can be clear to all that the code is the documentation for the module's operation.  I just want to make sure before I make a large investment in reusing/porting the code for production use.

Thanks, Chris

Hello Yael,

I am also trying to find such low level documentation.

Example: SPI Command Set and Memory Map of the CC3000. I am also getting frustrated with TI's infrastructure of documents the CC3000 as it feels very incomplete and there are no PDF documents only the Wiki. Basically, I cannot find this necessary documentation. The best I can find is on the Host Programming Guide page and it only shows four command/receipt transactions, however I read on one of these forum entries that there around 35 total SPI commands that the device supports. Please post this complete set of commands of the SPI interface for the CC3000.

I am in a situation where I am required to write my own code and therefore low level documentation is required.

My situation also allows me to choose a new Wifi target device if necessary.

Thank you for your help in advance!

I'm also having trouble finding the spi info as well.

For example on the doc http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC3000_Serial_Port_Interface_(SPI)

under the section

 CC3000 ->> Host - HCI_CMND_SIMPLE_LINK_START command complete

It states the data returned should be: 02 00 00 00 05 04 00 40 01 00 (command complete for opcode 0x4000)

I get 02 00 00 00 07 04 00 10 02 00 02 00 

I can't find anywhere what the extra data is 

Thanks,

Kyle

Hello Kyle,

02 00 00 00 07 / 04 00 10 02 00 02 00

first part is normal answer format, length 7.

In the second part you see a "00 10" after the 0x04. This is the opcode 0x1000, which means HCI_EVNT_PATCHES_REQ.

"02 00" means 0x0002, which is the length of the following parameter.

Second "02 00" means 0x0002, which is the parameter HCI_EVENT_PATCHES_FW_REQ.

So i assume this event means the CC3000 requests a "Firmware Patch" (for whatever reason).

Best regards,

Martin

Hi Roderick,

if you search for a description of raw SPI commands, unfortunately TI has not yet published a documentation on them, even though requested by different people a lot of times.

But there is a independent documentation, which is not complete, buggy at some places, also not updated for a long time even after reporting errors, but a start at all:

http://www.embeddedadventures.com/datasheets/WRL-3000_hw_v2_doc_v1.pdf

For EEPROM, at least a overview (unfortunately without details) can be found here:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC3000_Flashing_Guide

(last big table)

Best regards,

Martin
