Cannot Get SmartConfig to work for CC3000

Hello,

Hopefully this is the right place to post, but I am having trouble using SmartConfig 1.1.

I have the Tiva C TM4C123GXL Launchpad with the CC3000 Booster pack and am trying to run the tcpEchoCC3000 example from the TI-RTOS v 1.21.00.09.

I've already patched the CC3000 successfully. When I run the tcp example, the readmefile says to push Button0 and it should put the device in discovery mode as indicated by LED0 (blue) blinking. This happens so I assume it is working.

However, I've tried connecting using the SmartConfig java app on the PC and the iOS app and the device never seems to connect.

I've:

*Set a Guest Network with no security.

*Guest network is 2.4GHz, bgn.

*PC is Windows 10, iOS is 8.1.2

*Example is in Section 2.2.6 from the SPRUHD4C—May 2013 TI-RTOS userguide.

*CCS v6.1.0.00104, XDCtools v3.25.4.88

*Start SmartConfig first, then run the device in debug. Then vice versa. Same in non-debug.

Not sure what else to do, any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

 

  • Hi,

    Can you take a look at: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../CC3000_Smart_Config and confirm the steps?

  • Joseph,

    Sorry for the late reply, didn't have a chance to play with the devices lately.

    I did see that but it basically boils down to "it should just magically work".

    I took note of the Limitations section:

    Limitations

    •  Currently is it not possible to configure multiple CC3000 devices to different APs simultaneously only have one CC3000 and one modem/router.

         NOTE: It is possible to configure multiple CC3000 devices to different APs serially, OR configure multiple CC3000 devices to the same AP simultaneously

    •  Currently it is only possible to use smartphones and tablets as the configuring device, including IOS and Android devices. In the future, a PC application can be used as well. Tired the iOS app. Just tries to connect but never does; same with the PC html/java file.
    •  Key length is limited to 31 characters only when working with AES encryption. Tried with a 10 digit key and then no key.
    •  Smart Config - ascii WEP security without SmartConfig AES encryption doesn't work. (WEP security with Smart Config AES encryption does work, same configuration is working with wlan_connect)
    •  MTU in the configurable side should be set to 1500. Saw this setting in my router, it is set to 1500.
    •  It does not work with configuring devices that are MIMO devices. My router is considered an MIMO device, but then so are all routers, are they not? My router is a NetGear C6300.
    •  It does not work with configuring SISO devices at a channel width of 40MHz. Well since my device is an MIMO, but if it doesn't work with 40MHz, then what frequencies does it work with?
    •  It works at 11n rates only up to MCS7. Not sure what this is referring to.

     

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks again!
