cc3200 lauchXL could not initialize and got stuck in SlDrvRxHdrRead VERIFY_PROTOCOL(SyncCnt < SL_SYNC_SCAN_THRESHOLD)

Hello All

I am working with the TCP_Socket-Example of cc3200 SDK with CC3200 LauchXL.

The execution got stuck here:

This is called very early from here in main.c: ConfigureSimpleLinkToDefaultState

This line "VERIFY_PROTOCOL" can be expanded to  _SL_ASSERT(expr) from "trace.h" which can be expanded to 
#define _SL_ASSERT(expr)            { if(!(expr)){_SlDrvAssert(__LINE__); } }

Which can be expanded to

#define _SlDrvAssert(line )  { while(1); }       

So, in case of the expression (syncCnt < SL_SYNC_SCAN_THRESHOLD) being false, it enters an endless loop. (While(1))

The Debugger says when being stuck at this line
syncCnt=2000
SL_SYNC_SCAN_THRESHOLD=2000

Can anyone explain what happens here? The problem is, that this cannot be fixed by reset or a powercycle. It seems, als if there is something not initialized correctly. "Magically" it dissappears after a dozen tries and then the example runs fine and continues running.

I found a similar thread which deals with CC3100. There it was "fixed" by removing the call "ConfigureSimpleLinkToDefaultState" from main.c

I tried this too, but it got stuck later while trying to start the link to the AP. 

Thanks for your help
