No luck running code samples on CC2640

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2640, CCSTUDIO, CC2650, BLE-STACK

Folks,

I’m bringing up my own board with a CC2640 (inside SaBLE-x module with built-in antenna). Here’s what I was able to accomplish so far:

  1. Downloaded and installed Flash Programmer 2
  2. Downloaded and installed CCStudio 6.1.3 .  I don't want to use the cloudy CCStudio.
  3. Downloaded and installed BLE Stack.
  4. Procured Debugger DevPack
  5. Put together my board. At the moment, nothing is connected to the SaBLE-x module, except power and JTAG.
  6. Established connection between Flash Programmer 2 and CC2640 on my board. I can read MAC address of the CC2640, which means that the JTAG link is working.
  7. Established connection between CCStudio and CC2640. I can download example programs, and CCStudio says that download is successful.

But now I seem to be stuck.  I want to download an example code into the CC2640 and make it appear on the BLE scanner app (nRF Master Cobtrol Panel).  But I can't seem to find an example that works (as far as I understand, code samples for CC2650 should run on CC2640 too).  What could/should I try next?

Best,
- Nick

    Hi Nick,

    Did you follow the guide from LSR for using the correct board file with the SaBLE-x module? The default sample apps in the TI BLE-Stack SDK use the 7ID configuration but SaBLE-x uses the 5XD. In most cases you can just change the board file - please refer to the SW Developer's Guide (SWRU393) for more details.

    Best wishes

    Hi JXS,

    The only place in the LSR docs** where I could find reference to 5XD is the datasheet for the SaBLE-x.  So far, I haven't followed it, glossed that part over.

    Cheers,
    - Nick

    ** datasheet, application guide, dev board user guide.  If you are aware of some additional LSR guide I could read, please point me to it.

    *** Now that I'm thinking about it, LSR/Laird did mention something about changing the board file.

    How do I actually change the board file in CCStudio?  What are the steps?

    LSR provides a screenshot of IAR EmbeddedWorkbench in their datasheet (p.15).  Obviously, that helps only so much when it comes to CCStudio.

    Then I've found these steps, but when I look into the include files for Project Zero, but I can't find a line that would resemble
    ${TI_RTOS_DRIVERS_BASE}/ti/boards/SRF06EB/CC2650EM_5XD .

    I've started with Project Zero App, App CC2650 EM-7ID .  Did I start at a wrong place?

    Any suggestion, insight or reference is really appreciated!

    Assuming you are using BLE-Stack v2.2.0, you can change the board file by following the steps in "6.2 Board File" in the SW Dev Guide (SWRU393).

    I would start with the simple_peripheral example firstly.

    Best wishes
