Tool/software: Code Composer Studio
My question is:
1. What BLE Stack version does CCSv7 Resource Explore use ?
2. What's the different between and "CC26XX Bluetooth Smart v:2.01.00.44423" and "BLE SDK 2.2.1" ? Are these the same thing ?
3. Where can I find the Project Zero project for BLE SDK 2.2.1 ? I can't find it in TI's Github project.
==============
Full description:
In CCSv7 Resource Explorer, Project Zero project is listed under the directory "CC26XX Bluetooth Smart v:2.01.00.44423".
When I import Project Zero, CCS tells me that I need to install "CC26xx Bluetooth Smart 2.01.00.44423". And after installed that, CCS notify me that both "TI-RTOS for SimpleLink and 2.13.00.06" and "XDCTools 3.31.01.33" need to be installed.
Files from all there three packages are installed onto the "ti" folder under my User Home directory. And all the System Variables, Include Path & Linked Resource of imported Project Zero are also pointed to the "bel_ccs26xx_2_01_00_44423" resource installed from "CC26xx Bluetooth Smart 2.01.00.44423" package.
And meanwhile, the Software Developer Guide documents found in Resource Explorer is still For BLE-Stack version 2.0.0.
Does that mean, I don't need to download and install BLE SDK 2.2.1 to compile and run Project Zero from Resource Explorer ?
And if that is the case, why every FAQ / Getting-Start / Quick Start Guide document one can find on TI's wiki and E2E forum would tell us to install BLE SDK 2.2.1 first and then start Project Zero ?
If that Project Zero downloaded from Resource Explorer is not THE Project Zero you guys told us to compile in conjunction with BLE SDK 2.2.1, where can I find THE Project Zero ?
Thanks.
Thanks for reply.
I'm now working on Mac OS X platform so I downloaded the .EXE and extracted it on a Windows machine, and then copied the "simplelink_academy_01_11_00_0000" folder to the same directory of ccsv7. But the SimpleLink Academy package did not appear in the Resource Explorer Classics view.
After searching the forum, I understand that I need to manually add the package following the link "Configure Resource Explorer to discover examples, documentation and generates a resource package". A dialog box poped up and asked me to browser file system when I clicked the link. The SimpleLink Academy overview webpage doesn't give any hint about next step, so I choose the whole directory and clicked "Open":
...and the Package Configuration looked like this:
The new added package is something like this:
Now I can see the "ble_projectzero", but I can't see any text description contents, such as documents or external resource links. Is that normal ?
OK I've figured it out.
It turns out that you have to select the "ccsresource" subfolder under the "simplelink_academy_01_11_00_0000" folder in Resource Explorer Classic.
And the installed SimpleLink Academy package on Mac OS X will look like this:
All Linked Resource of Imported Project Zero will be automatically adjusted to fit the Mac Filesystem. You only need to edit these two lines in Stack project properties :
Now the Project Zero can compile and run without any problems on Mac.
Thank again for your help.
I've spent days of valuable time trying to match up compatible versions of CCS, Simplelink stack and RTOS.
THIS TI RESOURCE EXPLORER (web and CCS) IS INFURIATINGLY BROKEN.
TI, please, just scrap this, put the files in an accessible archive with a text file explaining compatible versions and shut down Resource explorer (WEB AND CCS) until it's fixed. Really, it's amateurish, incomplete, harms TI's reputation and is below TI's usually high standard. I would strongly hesitate before using TI's suites again, despite their generous pricing and availablility.
Hello Andrew,
Since you are responding to an older post as well as here, it's not clear if your setup matches the OP. This thread covers installation on a MacOS system which is not officially supported by the BLE-Stack SDK at this time.
Although we do recommend new BLE designs use the CC2640R2F and SIMPLELINK-CC2640R2-SDK, we do support SimpleLink Academy for the CC2650 and CC2640 in the Resource Explorer Classic (desktop version of CCS). It may be helpful to read the pinned Getting Started FAQ in the BLE E2E Forum (also available from the TI BLE Wiki) which has more details on how to download the SDK and SimpleLink Academy (also includes Project Zero). The download link to SimpleLink Academy is also listed above in Merkel's post. You can use CCS v7.1 with BLE-Stack v2.2.1 but it does require you to install a specific TI Compiler version. The procedure is listed in the SW Developer's Guide.
If you are still having issues, please feel free to open a new issue in the BLE Forum.
