RTOS/CC2650MODA: MSP432 and Sensors Boosterpack

Hi,

Have you tried to use LightBlue/BLE scanner instead? If not, can you try them?

Hi Christin

Thanks for your reply

I tried now LightBlue but it doesn't work.

Using TeraTerm I get the message :

"Application Processor Initializing...

Done!

"

But nothing else. Its not advertising.

When I upload from CCS it might stop, but using F8 doesn't solve the situation.

Again, thank you for your interest.

Pedro

It seems like the SAP is not running as it should. I will move this to MSP forum.

Pedro, Christin,
I updated the title of the post to 'msp432' from 'msp342'.

Pedro,
Are you able to debug the software on the MSP432 to determine what is going on in the MSP432? Can you determine why the MSP432 cannot get to the idle state?

What firmware versions are you using?

Dear Chris

After my last post I put MSP432 back to factory setting.

Using CCS Cloud and MSP432, SimpleLink SDK BLE Plugin and then examples Bluetooth built and debugged sensor_boosterpack_MSP_EXP432P401R_tirtos_ccs with no problem (F8 to advance) and it all goes well

Now the board advertises, I can connect with iOS SimpleLink Explorer gets connect but all the readings are 0.0! Checing with Tera Term everything seems to be fine humidity, temperature etc updates enabled.

Still all I get are 0s

Thank you for your help

Pedro

Did you also try using LightBlue? If not, can you try it?

Hi Christin

I tried LightBlue and I get a connection then when I write 1 in the Conf of the various channels and then start listening for notifications they do start to come in hexadecimal!. With TeraTerm Humidity (or Barometer or...) update enabled! However, when I close LightBlue and go to SimpleLink Explorer I get a single value in the "channels" and then it disconnects and on reconnecting I get 0s again.

Although on TeraTerm and SimpleLink explorer I get the various measurements update enabled message I only get 0readings on SimpleLink.

It looks the problem is with the SimpleLink Explorer !

Pedro,
I cannot reproduce the issue on my side. In the Sensors BoosterPack Profile Example I can see the different sensors change in value as I move the launchpad and boosterpacks around.

CCS 8.2 (I am not using cloud tools)
SimpleLink MSP432P4 SDK 2.30.0.14
SimpleLink SDK BLE Plugin 1.40.0.42
SimpleLink Sensor and Actuator Plugin 1.30.0.02

CC2650 Module BoosterPack Rev 1.0.1
MSP-EXP432P401R Rev 2.1
BoostXL-Sensors Rev 1.0 - with TMP007 populated

iOS 11

Chris

Hi Chris

I am using the exact same hardware and software, except for SimpleLink Sensor and Actuator Plugin 1.30.0.02; I am using 1.20.0.02 which is the latest; I still only get 0s.

Debugging messages 

main(9 at main_tirtos.c54...

c_int() at boot.asmo.......(-c-int00 does not contain frame information)

Thanks for your help

Pedro,
You can find the latest Sensor Actuator plug-in here.

dev.ti.com/.../

Can you confirm that TMP007 is on your sensor board?

Thanks,
Chris

Chris
I reinstalled CCS, simplelink_msp, simplelink_sdk_ble_plugin and had already found the latest Sensor Actuator.
When I try freertos I get an error message freertos_install_dir variable not defined.
When I use tirtos all goes well but I get 0s and the same debug message I sent a screenshot .
And no TMP007 is not on the board!

Thank you

Thanks for confirming. I have not been able to identify root cause, but my suspicion is that the older version of the Sensor Actuator is expecting/polling the TMP007 while the newer version will timeout and move on to the other sensors. I will also go back and look at the free rtos version.

I think it's the lack of the sensor, because with LIghtBlue I can get the flow of readings!

I was pressed to say my issue was resolved or not. In fact I am waiting

Hello,
Can you update to the latest sensor actuator plugin? If not, then perhaps you can try the work around described here:

e2e.ti.com/.../736824

Hi

I was already using the latest sensor actuator plugin, there is no newer one.

The work around  (in practice disabling TMP007) is already present in the actual code for the example discussed in the link (the sensor is off).

I can't find any point in the main.c of the sensorsboosterpack msp432 were I can turn off or delete code!

As I said before using Light Blue I can receive the flow of data, but in hexadecimal! So I think the problem is SimpleLinK SDK Explorer!

Thanks again

Pedro

Hello Chris

TI thinks resolved but it is not resolved!

I think everyone using this configuration will have the problem... not resolved.

I am waiting for further suggestions

Pedro
