CCS/LAUNCHCC3220MODASF: Error: Device is either 'null' or is currently not recognized by CCS.

Part Number: LAUNCHCC3220MODASF
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200, , CC3220SF

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi, 

I've been developing with the CC3200 with great success but now we are changing to the CC3220.

So, I am now using CCS v7 and the new cc32xx_sdk_1_40_01_00

I'm stuck trying to import example code into CCS. 

I get the Device is either 'null' or is currently not recognized by CCS error.

I then tried to create a new CCS Project and when I look at the long list of target devices I don't know which one to use. I don't see any with CC3220 in the name. I suspect that's a problem.

I tried Help/check for updates, but it says there are no new updates.

Can you tell me what I need to do to enable support for the LAUNCHCC3220MODASF?

Thanks,

Chuck

  • One more variable for me is that I want to move the project to TIRTOS. This is new territory for me, so perhaps the problem is there?

    yes that is the problem. It sounds like you are missing cc32xx device support. When you installed CCS, did you install the C32xx components?

    Thanks

  • Thank you Ki-Soo, that was exactly the problem. I don't know how I missed that in my initial installation. I simply reinstalled CCSV7 and selected CC32xx Device support this time.

    After reinstalling CCS and selecting the CC32xx Device Support, I was able to load the examples from the SDK.  The examples for CC3220SF_LAUNCHXL do work on the aforementioned module.

  • Hello,

     I am also facing the same issue and I hadn't selected CC32XX device support while installing CCS. So, isn't there an external download available for CC32XX device support? Do we have to mandatorily reinstall entire ccs ?

    Thanks!

  • Omkar - you don't need to reinstall CCS. But you do need to rerun the installer you used to install CCS. When you rerun the installer, select your existing CCS installation directory as the installation folder. This will cause the installer to detect an existing installation and it will allow you to install any additional components you did not originally install the first time. For your case, you will want to install CC32xx support as shown in the screenshot in my earlier post.

    Thanks
