CC3X00EMBEDDEDPROG: CC3501ENJARSHR – Programming Error: "Failed loading image flash content" in SimpleLink Wi-Fi Toolbox

Part Number: CC3X00EMBEDDEDPROG

Hi TI Team,

I am working with the CC3501ENJARSHR device and using SimpleLink Wi-Fi Toolbox v4.1.8. I am facing a persistent issue while trying to program the CC3501ENJARSHR chipset using the SimpleLink Wi-Fi Toolbox. I have recorded the entire process and attached a video showing the issue across multiple laptops and with different image types.

Setup Details:

  • Tool: SimpleLink Wi-Fi Toolbox (Version 4.1.8)

  • Programmer Version: 1.0.10

  • Debug Probe: XDS110

  • Target Device: CC35X1E (CC3501ENJARSHR)

  • Flash IC: IS25WJ032F

  • PSRAM: No PSRAM

What works:

  • Hardware connection between XDS110 and the target board is stable.

  • Full flash erase before programming completes successfully every time.

What fails:

  • After successful erase, the actual programming step always fails.

  • I have tested this on three different laptops. same issue was repeated in all.

  • I have tried both:

    • Default images (via "Load Default Images")

    • Custom images (my own .out and .bin files uploaded in the Vendor Image slot)

  • The failure happens in all cases, and the error appears similar each time.

 

Attached Evidence:

I have attached a video that shows:

  • The full programming workflow

  • Successful erase

  • Failed programming attempt

  • Error screen as seen in the SimpleLink Wi-Fi Toolbox

Please guide me on how to solve this issue.

 

Thank you.
