CC2650 after connecting to xds100 not working

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650

Hi,

     Today i got CC2650 sensor tag which we operated as standalone with cell. It worked fine as we could able to see all sensor data in Android App.After this i pulled out cell and connected XDS110 devpack and tried flashing a code in to sensor tag (used code with sensortag project got from ti resource explorer). The XDS110 flashed red led and after that i did not see any data coming out of sensor tag. I removed the XDS110 and put back cell to recover the original state and also tried factor reset (6 sec press of both side buttons), but it did not help. No LED glowing not bluetooth signal coming. I am feeling sensor tag has gone or what ?

Can any of TI guys or any one who has sen this kind of problem can help me.

Used CCS6.1.2 tool.

  • Hi Vinay,

    I assume you programmed through CCS? Are you sure the SW was completely loaded? Did you program both the Stack and the App projects?

  • Hi Fredrick,

            Yes, I programmed through CCS 6.1. I built sensor tag app and sensor tag stack and flashed code.  The XDS110 was glowing red LED( it was not blinking). Also from CCS I did not get message saying code flashed successfully.  May be code was not flashed. But then how can sensor tag can go bad. Is there anything that I can try?.

  • Hi Vinay,

    I would recommend that you try to program the SW again. If that does not work, you should program the SensorTag.hex found here: C:\ti\simplelink\ble_cc26xx_2_01_01_44627\Accessories\HexFiles with Flash Programmer 2.

    Cheers,

  • Thanks Fredrik. That helped, as i took hex file and flashed using smartRF tool. Also figured out why CCS was not properly not installing SensorTag.
    For SensorTag code to work we need to flash SensorTagStack first and then flash SensorTag App. Then after flashing you see iBeacon advertising (blinking green LED). Some times the Mobile App does not connect to sensorTag, so i removed and reinstalled Mobile App and then Mobile App was able to show data also.

    Just adding these extra information for others who face same problem, can try these.

  • Good to hear that you figured it out!
