LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2: CC2650 launch pad does not work with IAR debugger

Tony Lee6

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650, SIMPLELINK-CC2640R2-SDK, LAUNCHXL-CC2650, CC2642R, CC2640R2F, BLE-STACK

My goal is to setup a simple peripheral and central using ble5stack to test the coded PHY and extended advertising.

I’m able to use my old launchpad to download and debug the simple peripheral app and now in the process of setting up another (new) launchpad to run the simple central and ran into some issue with the new launchpad. My old and new are the same CC2650 launchpad Rev1.3 and all jumpers are the same.

The old launchpad is able to download and debug as normal, but the new launchpad doesn’t stop at main after the flash download and landed in “NORM_ThisLibraryIsFor_CC26x0R2_HaltIfViolated: area…

I have upgraded the new launchpad to the same firmware 3.0.0.13 same as my old one :

<<<< Device 0 >>>>

VID: 0x0451 PID: 0xbef3

Device Name: XDS110 Embed with CMSIS-DAP

Version: 3.0.0.13

Manufacturer: Texas Instruments

Serial Num: L1002678

Mode: Runtime

Configuration: Standard

Switching device into DFU mode.

I am using the IAR 8.32.2, SDK 4.10.0.10, xdctools 3.51.03.28_core

Is there something else I need to download to the new launchpad for it to run ?

Hi Tony,

You cannot use the BLE5-Stack resources or SIMPLELINK-CC2640R2-SDK with the LAUNCHXL-CC2650. Please use BLE-STACK v2.2 instead, or consider using a CC2640R2F or CC2642R device for BLE5.

Regards,
Ryan

We are using the CC2640R2 in our product and only using the CC2650 launchpad for experimental use.

However, I have 3LAUNCHXL-CC2650 Rev 1.3 board. One is old which I had been using, and two purchased just last week.

The old one works as expected and the new one doesn't, so I suspect it's not the launchpad board hardware. I've tried 2 new ones and they both don't work.

We are evaluating the coded phy feature which is supported in ble5stack 5 and not blestack right ?

Are you attempting to program a CC2650 device with firmware generated from the SIMPLELINK-CC2640R2-SDK? This is not allowed and would cause the NORM_ThisLibraryIsFor_CC26x0R2_HaltIfViolated error you observed. BLE5-Stack supports the LE Coded PHY, not BLE-Stack (the only version supported by the CC2650).
