LAUNCHXL-F280049C: CC3301 driver/example for TMS320F280049 (C2000)

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F280049C
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F280049, CC3301, CC3551E

Hello TI Team,

I am developing a control board based on the TMS320F280049 (C2000 platform). My goal is to use the CC3301 (Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth LE) module as a communication medium to send system data (measurement and analysis data) to a PC or mobile application.

I have been searching in Code Composer Studio (CCS) and the TI Resource Explorer, but I've noticed that all the available driver libraries and example projects for the CC3301 seem to be part of the SimpleLink SDK, which targets TI's ARM-based MCUs.

I cannot find any official drivers, porting guides, or example code for integrating the CC3301 with a C2000-series MCU.

My questions are:

  1. Is it feasible to use the CC3301 with the TMS320F280049?

  2. If yes, are there any C2000-compatible drivers, examples, or porting guides available?

  3. If not, what would be the recommended approach or recommended Wi-Fi/BLE module for a C2000 host?

Thank you for your support.

    Hello Kai,

    The first issue, and yes as you say, the SimpleLink SDKs do target ARM-based cores. So we would need to first ensure that the SDK can compile directly using the toolchain for c2000.

    The second issue, as I recall looking into this a few years ago as well and if I'm correct, I believe the SPI peripheral on the C2000-side doesn't align (in terms of byte size) with what the CC33xx SDK would expect. So the wifi driver will need to be re-written to compensate.

    I would actually recommend to use the cc3551E. It is currently in preview stage, but we will have AT Commands that are accessible via UART. So you can write your own commands from C2000 to communicate to the WiFi and BLE radio of the CC3551.
