Hi,

This is because of using wrong Java version/or wrong java paths as mentioned in the wiki

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC256x_Bluetooth_Hardware_Evaluation_Tool

under "setting java path" section.

Also see http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/environment/paths.html

Hi,

I downloaded java form http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html , JDK and JRE and installed.

From wiki section Setting Java Path:

Change line 4 to:

start "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javaw -jar" BT_TOOL_EXE.jar

and

included C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin to PATH variable.

Still the same thing happens.

Regards.

I faced the same issue in the past, but once I added the correct path, it worked.

Did you make sure "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin" is the correct path in your computer?

Hi Zero D,

I guess you will have to download and use the 32-bit version of the jre.

I had the same problem on my Windows 7 (64-bit). I had to download the 32 bit version of JRE from https://jdk8.java.net/download.html and do the below to open the port chooser:

1. Open a command prompt window

2. cd "C:\ti\Connectivity\CC256X BT\CC256x Bluetooth Hardware Evaluation Tool\v1.0"

3. Type: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre8\bin\java" -jar BT_TOOL_EXE.jar

Please note that the java is from "Program Files (x86)" which is meant for 32 bit versions.

Of course you can do all the path modifications and run the "CC256x Bluetooth Hardware Evaluation Tool" directly from the start menu, but the above might be a faster way.

Please confirm if it helps.

Hi Zero D,

Sorry, forgot to mention.

You need to copy: RXTXcomm.jar & rxtxSerial.dll from: "C:\ti\Connectivity\CC256X BT\CC256x Bluetooth Hardware Evaluation Tool\v1.0\BT_TOOL_EXE_lib\"

to: "C:\ti\Connectivity\CC256X BT\CC256x Bluetooth Hardware Evaluation Tool\v1.0\" and then try the same thing.

The error you are getting is because of the missing libraries. Since we are not adding this path to "PATH", we are seeing this error.

Hi Joseph Gigi,

Now it works.

Thanks.

HI Joseph,

One more thing

After i choose the service pack and click send it says:

"Sent:"

Means that the SP is updated or it crashed?

Hi ZeroD,

I'm not sure if this is what you expect to see... Usually you should see the command, and the response in the "Debug Trace" window.

Hi Joseph,

I waited for 30 min, and nothing happened then I unplug the USB module by force and then on the window of the BHET printed out this: see "BHET log.txt"

I don't know if this is ok.

How to check on the module what SP is he using?

How to add SP to may code via IAR?

Regards.

Hi Joseph,

same issue here... The window comes up, however the Port Chooser never shows no matter how often I try.

None of this seems to be working for me. The PATH being extended in the batch process doesn't help. If I copy the libraries into the same folder as suggested in your last post there is no change. I also manually select the jre as suggested earlier.

Is there any log output for when exceptions occur? The exception message would probably give some useful hints as to what I am doing wrong.

My jre is 8r20. Are there any known compatibility issues?

Regards,

Martin

Hi,

Have you tried setting the java path as mentioned in the previous posts?

latest jre version should work. please the above post related to jre compatibility.

You can just add the path of jre in the batch file "C:\ti\Connectivity\CC256X BT\CC256x Bluetooth Hardware Evaluation Tool\v1.0CC256x Bluetooth Hardware Evaluation Tool.bat" and run it.

see

Fullscreen 5657.CC256x Bluetooth Hardware Evaluation Tool.bat Download

REM echo on
cd "C:\TI\Connectivity\CC256X BT\CC256x Bluetooth Hardware Evaluation Tool\v1.0"

I found the tool only works on a 32-bit machine with a 32-bit JVM. Luckily we still had one.
