RTOS/TIDM-TM4C129XNFC: Issue building NFC sample code for EK-TM4C1294XL with RTOS 2.16

Part Number: TIDM-TM4C129XNFC
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC31XXEMUBOOST, CC3100BOOST, EK-TM4C1294XL, UNIFLASH, CC3100

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Hi,

I need to read ISO14443A/B Type 4 NFC cards, so I’m using:

This setup: www.ti.com/.../TIDM-TM4C129XNFC
These instructions: www.ti.com/.../tiduag2a.pdf

To support this software I have the following hardware, which includes two options for NFC (7970A & RF430).

My questions are:

Is the CC31XXEMUBOOST only needed to flash / copy files to the CC3100BOOST and therefore should NOT be connected with running the NFC software?
Page 17 of tiduag2a.pdf specifically asks for RTOS 2.14. Is RTOS 2.16 ok to use instead?
What Target Config "Tiva C" card should I be using with a EK-TM4C1294XL? Is the Tiva TM4C129NCPDT ok since the EK-TM4C1294XL is not listed?
I get the errors shown in the screenshot when trying to build the NFC sample code, what should I do to get it working?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers,

Tim

Hello Tim,

1) Correct, the CC31XXEMUBOOST is only used to flash the CC3100BOOST (with Uniflash) and is not plugged into the TM4C LaunchPad.
2) As far as the out of the box experience goes, you need to use RTOS 2.14, and that will resolve your build errors. If you wish to use RTOS 2.16 later on, then you can modify the firmware to remove the conflicts between 2.14 and 2.16. Start with 2.14 to get your demo running though.
3) That is the correct device. That is the device populated on the LaunchPad.
4) See the answer for 2)

Hi Ralph,

Thanks for your quick response. How do I install rtos 2.14? It doesn't seem to be an option anywhere in CCS resource explorer.

Cheers,

Tim

Hello Tim,

You can get older versions of TI-RTOS from here: software-dl.ti.com/.../index.html

You will want 2.14.00.10 which is a Tiva C release.

Thanks, I can now run the application!

Unfortunately the wireless station won't connect, it says [GENERAL EVENT] in the console window.

I'm not sure what this means, I will open another thread to talk about this new topic.

Cheers

Hi Tim,

I suggest you try to make the CC3100 work with Tiva Connected Launchpad using example program from latest CC3100 SDK version. The RTOS/TIDM-TM4C129XNFC referenced design most likely used earlier versions of CC3100 SDK and CC3100 Service Pack, which is now not recommended to use for latest CC3100 Booster Pack board version.

You would need to modify the RTOS/TIDM-TM4C129XNFC Firmware to use the latest CC3100 SDK version instead. I suggest you also ask about this at Simplelink WiFi CC31XX/CC32XX Forum.
