LAUNCHXL-CC2650: MSP432P401R

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC2650
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650, EK-TM4C123GXL, CC2640, CC2650STK, BOOSTXL-EDUMKII, BLE-STACK

I am working on oad_firmware_update using MSP432P401R and launchxl-cc2650

Does those kits support oad combined 

I was following the oad firmware update project instructions

I did flash the cc2650 with the firmware file mentioned in the project link

But since then the launchpad cc2650 is not working anymore or showing on my mobile Bluetooth connection or ti Bluetooth apps

I think the main problem is the oad firmware for launchpad cc2650 

Can anyone attach the right hex file for oad project using launchpad cc2650 (launchxl-cc2650) 

 have searched for it in ti site but most files i find are for other versions of cc2650 

Also more details on how to merge other projects such as microphone example with oad project 

Please help urgently 

  • Hello Abdallah,

    Does those kits support oad combined 

    Just so I can direct your post to the proper team, can you confirm: are you attaching the CC2650MODA Boosterpack to the MSP432 board? Please correct me if this is incorrect.

    I did flash the cc2650 with the firmware file mentioned in the project link

    For the same reason as above, can you show me what project link you refer to?

    Can anyone attach the right hex file for oad project using launchpad cc2650 (launchxl-cc2650)

    This depends on what hardware you are using. If you can also send over the link to the SDK you installed with this information I will be able to advise accordingly.

    The firmware shipped as a demo with the MSP432 diverges slightly from the typical CC2650 SDK (see Release Notes here). I suspect that this is not the SDK you retrieved the firmware from, so please clarify these details and I will be able to forward your post to the right person.

  • I am using MSP432P401R with cc2650 launchpad rev 1.1.2 probably (launchxl-cc2650) not the  cc2650 moda BoosterPack 

    Iam using this link 

    https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=ALtMiZOPMEva3JwoT-MgPw__kmPly-e__LATEST

    I wish someone attach the firmware that supports the oad using MSP432P401R with cc2650 launchpad rev 1.1.2

    Directely note i am using smart flasher v2 

    With the proper link of instruction to follow to work oad firm ware update using the hardware mentioned before through the mobile android apps simple linke starter or msp432 ble firmware updater 

    Cause i have searched alot and nearly found anything that can help 

  • Hey Abdallah,

    I've assigned your post to the correct team to assist you further.

  • Hello,

    Unfortunately that example was built and tested on the cc2650 moda boosterpack, and we won't be able to provide the firmware on the launchxl-cc2650. You can try to port it if you'd like.

    Is there a reason you are using the MSP432 in this case? I ask because you may be able to use the firmware in the BLE-STACK. You may also consider our newer gen devices like the CC26x2 as well.

  • So r u sure that there is no example to over the air download using MSP432P401R with launchxl-cc2650 

    I am a begginer to port it myself its just a subject project with tight deadline next week 

    I have MSP432P401R and launch xl-cc2650 also ek-tm4c123gxl

    Is there any example to oad_firmware_update using combination of them or even one kit of them

    Simply can i oad_firmware_update the launchxl-cc2650 by its own i was just using the MSP432P401R cause its examples library is rich with examples like microphone and more advanced stuff than hello world i was planning to use them to fancy show the oad update is done nothing more 

  • Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC2650

    Can i oad firmware update the cc2650 launchpad rev 1.1.2 (launchxl-cc2650) on chip using any simple link mobile app

    I am a beginner don't expect any thing from me than following example instructions

    Please help urgently my subject project deadline is next week 

    If there is special firmware should be flashed to cc2650 please attach it 

    Or example link on how to on chip oad firmware update the launchxl-cc2650 please attach it 

  • Hi,

    You can search the forum to find threads to get you started with the CC2650 (see here)

    After this, I would recommend to look at the OAD guide into the BLE stack (in the docs folder).

    Best regards,

  • I checked the user guide it requires 2 cc2650 and i only have one chip 

    Also it describes how to oad cc2650 using 2 kits and pc 

    But i want to use mobile apps to do the oad firmware update with only one kit cause thats what i have for now 

    Is it possible to use a mobile app such simplelink starter or pro or any simplelink app to do oad_firmware_update i tried some apps they connect with the cc2650 but i can't find a way to give the a a hex file for example (hello world) project so the app can update the cc2650 

    Is such a project possible 

  • Hey Abdallah,

    You can try using the oad firmware alone (minus the MSP432) from the BLE_STACK v2.X for the CC2650. You can then navigate to the docs folder of the SDK install directory (for me this looks like: <C:\ti\simplelink\ble_sdk_2_02_06_07\docs>, where you will find the CC2640 BLE OAD User's Guide. In chapter 5, you will find a guide on how to run the out of box demos in the SDK.

    From here, you can add peripherals or connect to the MSP432 and send data over the BLE connection. The best example we have of this for that device is the sensortag (https://www.ti.com/tool/CC2650STK). The project in the SDK under examples\cc2650stk\sensortag will show you how sensor data is transmitted over the BLE connection.

    Hopefully this helps.

  • Hey Abdallah,

    Please refrain from making duplicate posts as this only delays our response time. I've merged your newer post with this one and we will continue to support you in this thread since this is the same topic/issue. We are currently very loaded and have limited resources due to vacation. Thank you for your patience.

  • I am sorry for inconvenience but ithought since its a different setup might be another bost

    Thanks alot for ur help 

    Now i managed to do on chip update to cc2650 launchpad launchxl-cc2650 using ios simple link starter app 

    I tried a a print application to lcd  but unfortunately the cc2650 does not print anything on the display

    I am using boostxl-edumkii as screen is it compatible with cc2650 launchpad

    Note the oad app i use is supported by the simple link starter app on ios 

    Its there by default and after updating the cc2650 with it it shows lcd services which means the oad update was successful but the screen of boostxl-edumkii doesn't show any data just blank white screen 

    Does this application require another display 

    Is there anyway to make it run on boostxl-edumkii

    The user guide u mentioned can i use it to do the oad update through mobile application or its totally different and would work with pc using btool only 

  • Hey Abdallah,

    You'll need to modify code potentially to ensure that the cc2650 is correctly configured to work with the boostxl-edumkii board. You'd have to visit the hardware schematics of boards are compatible. I'm not sure how "plug-in-play" this booster pack is with the cc2650. If you are using the firmware in the BLE-STACK, I don't think this support exists out of the box.

    The user guide u mentioned can i use it to do the oad update through mobile application or its totally different and would work with pc using btool only 

    The guide mentions BTOOL, but you should be able to perform the OAD using the mobile application as well.
