CCS/LAUNCHXL-CC2650: Cloud based programming of CC2650 Launchpad back to its Out of the Box application fails

Gerry Sarver

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC2650
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

All attempts to use dev.ti.com and the TI Cloud to reprogram two working CC2650 Launchpad boards back to their factory applications fail with the message shown below:

I can confirm that the CC2650 Launchpad is indicating that firmware update has been kicked-off. The LED next to the XDS110 is flashing the typical alternating red/green pattern seen during flash programming. However, after reboot I see that the previous application is still in place. Cycling power and attempting download again always yields the same results.

I can also confirm that the data file is present in the temp folder, but it contains nothing but a single tag '[object Blob]'

Is this a known issue, and if so, what is the resolution?

If this can't be resolved can TI provide the hex file for this application so I can revert these boards manually with Flash Programmer 2?

Thanks.

I've asked for some help from the device experts regarding this.

Thanks

Hi Gerry,

This source code for the out-of-box demo has not been released, but Project Zero (BLE example in the SDK) is very similar. The SDK can be downloaded at the following link https://www.ti.com/tool/BLE-STACK

In addition, can you try accessing this page using Firefox? I received the same error when using Google Chrome, but was able to successfully download the example when using FireFox.

Thanks!

Best Regards,

Jenny

Hi Jenny,

Thanks for the suggestion, reprogramming to the cc2650 Launchpad's out-of-the-box demo image completed without error under Firefox.

Regarding the demo project itself, I have no need for the source code. I was asking if a hex file was available such as those found in the BLE SDK examples\hex directory. That would save some time as I convert the launchpad boards I have back and forth for various purposes.

Not a big deal, just a convenience thing. If one is available, great, if not, I can live with it.

Thanks & Best Regards,

Gerry

Hi Gerry,

Thanks for verifying using FireFox!

I don't believe there is a .hex file for this OOB example.

Hi Jenny,

Understood, I'll use the web tool when I put them back in the box for good.

Thanks for your help, this closes this topic.
