Error initializing emulator: No USB FET was found on one specific app only

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SW-TM4C

I've been using the TivaWare example programs without problems in my current workspace on my Tiva C series board. I can successfully program and debug the board with the "blinky" example using CCv5.

However when I follow these instructions:   http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC3000_Basic_Wi-Fi_example_application_for_Launchpad to try out the BasicWifiApplication for the CC3000 booster pack I get this pop up when trying to run:

Error initializing emulator: No USB FET was found.

and this one in the console:

MSP430: Error initializing emulator: No USB FET was found

This seems very strange to me because in the same workspace I can make blinky active and it is able to find the USB FET and everything works just fine. Is there some change I need to make specifically to get this group of 4 applications as described in the instruction document to work?

    So I found out that the Basic Wifi Applicationthat I downloaded is only for these:

    There seems to be no download for the Tiva but it is referenced everywhere. Where can I find this? I doesn't seem to be here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC3000_Wi-Fi_Downloads#CC3000.2BStellaris_Cortex-M4


    What changes need to be made to the msp430 Launchpad config linked to above to get it to work on the Tiva?

    Keep an eye on our website in the next few days for TivaWare 2.1.  This will have built in example applications for CC3000 on the Tiva LaunchPad and the new Connected LaunchPad.

    Currently shows TivaWare 2.0.x, it should roll over to 2.1 this week.  Thursday at the latest.

    This is great news. I finally did manage to find the basic wifi application for a Stellaris board. I was able to port this over to the Tiva launchpad but I'm seeing a few issues still. I'll just wait for the new TivaWare you mention. 

    I am still a little confused about the patch programmer for the Tiva launchpad. I've found this link which I believe has the required patch programmer:

    http://www.ti.com/tool/CC3000-PATCH-TIVA

    but should I get the "CC3000-CORTEX-M4-PATCH" or the "CC3000-TIVACLP-PATCH" or both? Will this single download take care of Driver Patch Programming and Firmware Patch Programming? 

    How do I even know if I need to use the patch programmer? I have just ordered a brand new Tiva C launchpad and cc3000 boosterpack.

    and lastly, I can only find: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC3000_Patch_Programmer for instruction on any patch programmer is this accurate for the Tiva launchpad patch as well?

    Thanks!

    Matt,

    Wait for TivaWare 2.1. There was code available recently on the CC3000 wiki that could be hacked together to work, but out of the box it wouldn't compile, had missing linkages and other problems. As such we took it down and reworked it, these changes have been incorporated into Tivaware 2.1.

    The existing instructions on the webpage for our boards is out of date and is in the process of being redone, should all be fixed shortly.

    About the patch programmer, you should run it once when you first get your board, it updates the CC3000 firmware on the boosterpack, with the new code you will see a light blink and change colors and it'll give you a UART prompt, very slick.

    Hi,

    *Where can i get instructions on how to connect the CC3000 to my TivaC Series TM4C123G LaunchPad??

    I have already downloaded TivaWare 2.1. There are 4 libraries included in TivaWare:

    1. Peripheral Driver

    2. Graphic

    3. Sensor

    4. USB

    *In which of these libraries is the CC3000 application included??

    *Is there a specific library for CC3000??

    I have searched everywhere for solutions and its really very confusing.
