RTOS/TM4C1294NCPDT: Running tcpEchoCC3X00 with TM4c1294

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3100BOOST, CC3100, CC3100SDK

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

HI,

I am experimenting with SimpleLink for the first time. I use CC3100BOOST board together with TM4c1294 MCU. In particular I am trying to run tcpEchoCC3X00 project from TI_RTOS/TIVA examples. I have done the following steps:

- I have installed recent CC3100 SDK on my machine.

- I have added necessary include paths to the project.

- One remaining unresolved link is msp430.h header file. It appears in C:\ti\CC3100SDK_1.3.0\cc3100-sdk\platform\msp430f5529lp\freertos\ccs portmacro.h header file.

My first question is if I can fix this? tcpEchoCC3X00 is a part of tirtos_tivac so I am confused how to resolve it. If anyone successfully run this project I will appreciate comments.

Secondly, I would like to ask if it is necessary for this CC3100 board to run the ServicePack update (using dedicated emulation board) before I use tcpEchoCC3X00 example project.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Lukasz,

The header file doesn't make sense to me... it's an MSP430 header in the FreeRTOS folder?? That is both the wrong RTOS and wrong MCU.

You said added necessary include paths to the project, can you explain all the steps you did here? It sounds like you may not have added the right includes.

Regarding the Service Pack update, you'd have to ask the folks in the Wi-Fi forum about that, as we aren't really qualified to comment on the requirements for the CC3100.

Hello Lukasz,

I haven't heard back from you, so I’m assuming you were able to resolve your issue.

I will close this thread now, but if you have not solved this issue then post a reply below (or open a new thread if the thread has locked due to time-out).

Hi Ralph,

I am sorry for the late reply. My confusion came from the fact that I had to make the following links to CC3100-SDK:

Some of the links point to msp430 platform. Finally I have resolved all errors and tcpEchoCC3X00 example worked. Is there a simpler way to correctly include all necessary files?

Thanks.

Hello Lukasz,

I have never really messed with the CC3100, members from their support team have been the ones to help implement all this on TM4C, so frankly I have no idea if there is a better way because I have no real experience with the CC3100 SDK. I probably would have eventually stumbled into the same solution you did if you had posted with further issues. Sorry this answer isn't more helpful.

Hi,

Thank you. Should I post it on other forum?

Hi Lukasz,

The SimpleLink WiFi forum would be good, yes, you may also try searching within that forum - you probably are not the only person to ask this so there may already be an answer out there: e2e.ti.com/.../968

Hi Ralph,

After deeper investigation I have figured out cleaner solution that makes more sense:
