CCS/CC2650MODA: Project zero won't run properly

Part Number: CC2650MODA
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BLE-STACK, ENERGIA, CC2650

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to get the project zero example running for my CC2650MODA boosterpack (using the MSP432401R development board)  on both CCS cloud and CCS. When I try to run the example on CCS, I get an error message that some identifiers are not defined. I downloaded all the corresponding files found on the example website and are up to date. It was working when I first ran the example about two weeks ago, now it won't compile at all. When it did run it had the same error as with the CCS cloud example described below.

When I try to run the example on CCS cloud, the terminal shown in the README.html file does not match the terminal I get when it runs. The terminal message that comes up in my screen reads only 1 LED service instead of 2. The project does compile and run, but when I use the LightBlue app to interact with the module, the UUID addresses do not match and reads "This is pretty long."

Is this an installation error on my end for both issues? Should I delete the SDK and re-download it? I'm currently using CCS V9 and SDK bluetooth plugin 1.4.

                     

  • Hi Jerry,

    Assigning an expert to follow up. Stay tuned.

  • Hi Jerry,

    Are you referring to Project Zero which is found in the SimpleLink Academy package?

    http://software-dl.ti.com/lprf/simplelink_academy/overview.html

    This software is based on BLE-Stack 2.2.1, so please make sure you have this software component installed locally. Link:

  • Thanks for the reply!

    I installed the BLE stack locally as recommended and it did resolve the issues with the identifiers, but it gives the same result as with the CCS cloud. The UUID is not read correctly, I can't access any of the attributes, and still says "This is pretty long." I tried running an example on Energia and it works perfectly. CCS automatically detected and installed all updates for the BLE stack file, so could this still be an installation issue on my part?

    Regards, Jerry

  • Hi Jerry,

    Can you post a screenshot of Project- > Properties -> General -> Resources. In this view you should double-check that CCS is using BLE-Stack 2.2.1 for this project.

  • Thank you for the reply Mary H,

    Is this the proper way to set up the file directory? Sorry if this is an obvious question, I don't have a whole lot of experience using this development platform. 

    What I currently have installed is CCS v9, SimpleLink MSP432 SDK, SimpleLink MSP432 SDK plugin, and BLE stack 2.2.1.

    Regard, Jerry

  • Hi Jerry,

    Can you post a screenshot of Project- > Properties -> General?

    Did you install everything to the default location? (C:/ti and C:/ti/simplelink)

  • Hello Marie H,

    Yes, I have all my SDKs and plugins installed on C:\ti and the BLE stack is located in C:\ti\simplelink. My projects are located in C:\Users\Jerry\workspace_v9. Do you recommend I delete the plugin and BLE stack, and reinstall? 

    Regards, Jerry

  • Hi Jerry,

    As I am not able to reproduce your issue and you haven't made any code changes, one theory is that something went wrong during your installation. So yes, I would recommend you to re-install the BLE-Stack and the SimpleLink Academy package (to the default locations).

  • Thank you for the reply!

    I deleted the files and I'm reinstalling right now, hopefully it resolves the issue. I logged into CCS Cloud from TI Cloud Tools to use the online version of project zero in the mean time and I switched to a different BLE app. I noticed these errors persist on the cloud version as well. I can't seem to edit any of the attributes and some of the UUIDs don't match the Service/Profile table in the README.html file. Does this issue extend from the issue I might have with desktop CCS? Sorry for all the questions, I've looked in other forums and I haven't stumbled upon something similar. 

    Sincerely, Jerry

  • Hi Jerry,

    Let's concentrate on making this work for CCS installed locally (I am not sure how the device support for CC2650 is on CCS cloud). 

    Also, can you make sure to delete the Bluetooth cache on your phone every time you program the device?

  • Thank you! Clearing the app cache helped with the connection issues, the LED is still not working properly but I was more interested in the string attribute. 

    Regards, Jerry
