CODECOMPOSER: Using the CC3200 Launchpad with Code Composer Studio

Part Number: CODECOMPOSER
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ENERGIA, CC3200, UNIFLASH

I'm new to Code Composer Studio, so my questions my seem dumb.

I tried using the Energia IDE to develop a simple WiFi application, but this IDE seems a little basic and some libraries seem to have problems. 

So, I am considering using CCS.

Are there any cc3200 code examples to use to get started.

Can CCS program the CC3200 through the USB interface or do I need an ICE?

Thanks for your help,
Paul

    Simply down load the Simplelink SDK via Resource Explorer for the 3200, and you will get examples. And yes you program it via the USB. If you have the board plugged into the comptuer when you use view->Resource Explorer it will filter for your board.

    Hi Paul,

    As Keith pointed out, the best starting point would be to download the CC3200 SDK. You can get it through the resource explorer, or you can download it directly here:https://www.ti.com/tool/CC3200SDK

    The SDK contains code examples, and once installed you should be able to use CCS to import full projects that contain not just the code but also the IDE setup needed to load code through JTAG. Do note that in order to persistently load code onto the CC3200 you will need to use the separate Uniflash tool to flash the built binaries into serial flash. See the full quick start guide for more info: https://www.ti.com/lit/swru376

    Be sure to also download the servicepack for the CC3x00 devices - you will need to flash that onto your CC3200 using Uniflash in order to ensure proper Wi-Fi operation with the latest SDK + host driver.

    If it's possible at all, you may want to look into using the CC3220 or CC3235 launchpads. For those newer devices, the quick start and new user experience is much more refined, as we have online guides such as the SimpleLink Academy series you can follow https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=ALWtZjCm8OuMpFE4qMu3DQ__fc2e6sr__LATEST

    Also, the new SDK (only compatible with CC3220 and CC323x) provides much more high-level and friendly drivers, better RTOS integration, and documentation.

    Let me know if you need more clarification or have further questions on getting started with the CC32xx.

    Regards,

    Michael
