CC3200: CC3200 OTA Update Example Not Working

made4engineering

Part Number: CC3200
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3100, ,

Currently, people are experiencing issues running the CC3200 SDK OTA update example. We are aware that Dropbox has changed their API version recently, and the current will be phased out completely in June (see www.dropbox.com/.../migration-guide). We are currently working on updating the example, and we will update you here and the wiki as soon as possible.

However, you do not have to base your OTA mechanism on this example. The only necessary components for doing OTA of the MCU image knowledge are the File Commit Library, and the secondary bootloader that it is tied to. See section 3.2.4 Application Image Selection and Rollback Logic of the CC3200 Over-The-Air (OTA) Update Application Note for an overview of how this works.

Thanks, made4engineering!

Keep an eye out on the forum for future updates to the rest of the SDK and the Service Pack too.

Best,

Please provide a link to the referenced "CC3200 Over-The-Air (OTA) Update Application Note." The closest I find is one for CC3100, and it does not make any reference to "Application Image Selection and Rollback Logic" -- it doesn't even have numbered sections.

Hi Ralph,

You can find this in the SDK under [Install Location]\CC3200SDK_1.x.x\cc3200-sdk\docs\examples\CC3200 Over-The-Air (OTA) Update Application Note.pdf.

Best Regards,

I have been working on TI BLE offerings for a couple years, yet I can't get my new TI Simplelink Wi-Fi SensorTag Development Kit beyond Update Failed! Can anyone give me any advice? I am sorry to put this here, but I have no response after putting it other places (maybe other wrong places?). I am willing to spend $$$ if there is a short course or whatever. Thank you, Edward ec@earthlink.net

Hi Edward!

You're in the right forum. Can you please open up a new thread here for this issue?

Aaron,

Thanks for pointing this out -- I couldn't get the dropbox API to work either. I'm wondering if you have any experience or knowledge with other third party APIs such as Mongoose-os, Kaaproject, etc.? For larger applications I'm afraid that it's not possible to store two MCU images in flash when using something like Mongoose. If you have any thoughts on this matter that would help a great deal.

Thanks,

Kyle
