CC2640 using TI-RTOS

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650, CC2640

Hi,

Probably just a simple config question but i was using the CC2650 dev board with smartRF06, TI-RTOS, CCS 6 properly.

However i want now to use on a proto board a CC2640 and xds jtag stand alone from Olimex.

Connections and detections seems ok, but in the "new CCS project" setting pages, if i pick a CC2640, I cant see the RTOS templates.

Is that normal ?

(In the Resource Explorer, TI-RTOS for simpleLimk Wireless MCUs, cant see the CC2640 neither .. )

Thank you

  • Hi there,

    There is a great deal of project/setup configuration that is required to get our projects up and running. What I would recommend to do is take your existing project that was working on the SmartRF06 board and follow section 6.2 of our Software Developer's guide SWRU393 to see how to change the board file to match your new protoboard. Section 9 discusses debuggers and how to change/configure them.
  • Hello,

    Thanks you for a quick reply.

    I am using the CC2650 minimal_empty which blink the LED of smartRF06, changed the board IO config and blink my LED using my proto board.

    Glad it is working but I am still confused that why my device is set as CC2650 (from the example).
    I have read somewhere that the CC2640 is very similar therefore i could easily just change the device in the project settings, but by doing such i end up with Flash memory range errors during compilation.

    It is also confusing that i have to create a CC2650 project to end to a CC2640 application. Reading the pdf you specified, i can see how to modify the IO setup or change the debbuger, but not how to set up TI-RTOS gui for CC2640.

    Thanks

  • Hi Mickael,

    The examples in TI RTOS are by default set up for CC2650. Except for the radio, this is the same device as CC2640. You can change this under "General" in the project properties.
