AFE4300 kit... firmware update to MMB3 board....

Malik,

The MMB3 board uses a BSL (Bootstrap Loader) to update the firmware. SW4 puts the board in BSL mode, from there you can update the firmware. This guide may be of use to you. I included the link below.

Hi Amy

thanks for that... as usual thing with Ti, took good few hrs to download ADC pro and other drivers, in the end i cannot find the option in ADCpro to load the hex file or anyfile to the MMB3 board which came along with AFE4300 kit.....
now i have downloaded plugins as well still not use..

can you please simply explain, if i have build a project in iAR, how i go about loading my firmware to AFE4300 kit which contains MBB3 board.

Malik,

Here is a writeup we did to explain how to download a hex file onto our AFE4300 EVM. There will be a pdf file in the zip file. Please read that for the instructions. Let me know if you have any difficulties.

Hi Amy,


I cannot thank you enough, its working..

now my last question(hopefully), i want to interface CC2540/CC2541 to that mmb3 board to basically, follow the TI reference design,
from AFE4300- msp430 (MMb3) to CC2540 for BLE connectivity.....


now i have CC2540 mini development kit, is that enough to interfaced with board, or i need some other tools >

Malik,

Which reference design are you referring to?

please see the above link... i have mmb3 part sorted just need to connect ble to mmb3 ?

Malik,

This reference design does not use the MMB3 board. We had a custom board the AFE4300 on it that was different than our EVM.
We used a BlueRadio BLE radio module. No cc2541 firmware was developed and everything is owned by Blueradio and they do not make their firmware source available. The modules are designed so customer doesn't have to worry about writing cc2541 code. I recommend you contact cc2541 apps team for support. I'm sure they have people who can help. I know they have sample applications for blood pressure and health thermometer which should be very similar.
