CC3200 Launchpad P58-VCC jumper?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200, UNIFLASH

Hi,

   I just want to ask if the jumper at P58-VCC for AP mode should be removed if running other example programs such as blinky. Would the blinky example program still work if the jumper is set at P58-VCC?

   I am following the blinky application document as illustrated I moved the jumper at P58-VCC to SOP Jumper.

   I just want to ask this as I might forget that the jumper is still at P58-VCC while trying out other example programs. I fear I might break the CC3200 for that reason.

  • Leaving the jumper on P58/Vcc will force the CC3200 into AP mode to enable commissioning. In order to execute the program in flash you must remove the jumper.

    Similarly, when you want to flash new code using Uniflash, you can use the same jumer to bridge the SOP[2] jumpers and enable flash mode.

  • Just to clarify, when the jumper is on P58/Vcc, the device sense it and loads in AP mode. So if the example code you are trying to run assumes the device should load in STA mode - it would not work.

    Additionally, please note that the device should be enabled using sl_start() API. In Blinky example code, the network processor is not enabled at all so the P58/Vcc jumper is meaningless. Of course most of the example codes use the network processor so please make sure whether AP mode is required.
