CCS/LAUNCHXL-CC1352R1: I cannot get started with CCS on Linux and the LAUNCHXL-CC1352R1 board

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC1352R1

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I have installed CCS on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) and it apparently works (although it reloaded 3 GB of examples, which were already in a directory under /usr/ti). Then I tried to compile and load two examples: rfEasyLinkEchoRx_CC1352R1_LAUNCHXL_nortos_ccs and rfEasyLinkEchoTx_CC1352R1_LAUNCHXL_nortos_ccs. The examples were built without apparent problems, then I loaded them onto two boards to test the communication between them. Also the flash procedure did not produce any error and something seemed tobe indeed downloaded onto the boards, because the red LED next to the green power LED briefly blinked. Then, however, neither board gives any sign of life: the only advice in the documetation was that the LED jumpers should be present and they are present, but neither D106 nor D107 ever light up. I get the same result if I try to use the versions of these examples for the gcc compiler.

There seems to be something very wrong, but I cannot figure out what's wrong, also because there seems to be no documentation on these issues.

  • Power the receiver remotely, and run the transmitter under the debugger. Set a breakpoint in the RF task. Singlestep from there.

    If you want to punt, switch to the blink example.

    I have no problem with these examples on the Mac.

  • Thanks, 

    indeed with the debugger I was able to figure out that execution of the code got stuck almost immediately because of a library in the current SDK that was incompatible with the revision of the CC1352R1 I have. It is version C and this version is not supported anymore. I got it from Digi-Key about one year and a half ago and it is already obsolete!
