Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2640
Hi,
I am working on trying to characterize the current consumption of the CC2650 using its launchpad. I have been following a TI guide titled "Measuring CC13xx and CC26xx current consumption". Within this guide is the following:
The standby current I was measuring was around 8uA average so it seems like I should get my expected standby current (around 1.2uA) if I can disable this external flash. I searched in the SDK and found "ext_flash.c" and "ext_flash.h" in C:\ti\simplelink\ble_sdk_2_02_06_07\src\examples\util\bim_extflash\cc2640\board.
I add these to my simple_peripheral project and attempt to call the open and close functions in the SimplePeripheral_init function. The code compiles and runs but I do not get any advertisements and the current that I measure is a steady ~3.6mA. As soon as I comment out the two function calls, the example works fine and I can see advertisements. Are these the correct files that I need to disable the flash? I am unsure if I am using the wrong ext_flash files or if my implementation of the function calls is wrong. Any help or recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Josh
