CCS/CC2640: SaBLE-x module Firmware Development

Bulbthree

Part Number: CC2640

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I recently started to develop a LSR SaBLE-x-R2 module, which is a pre-certified BLE module with CC2640R2F chip embedded.

I was trying to develop a custom firmware to use it as a data collector. Recommended by their dev board user guide, debugging with a TI Debug DevPack (CC-DEVPACK-DEBUG, XDS110) and two Samtec FFMD-05-T-04.00.01-N cables on CCS:

Following the initial setting ups in the CC2640 Developer's Guide, I imported simple_peripheral example projects on CCS, built the stack and app projects, and ran the debug as the sequence required. CCS returned no error and showed the downloading was successful, however, the module seemed not running at all, nothing showed on the BLE monitor no matter I click on the run button, reset it, nor re-power up it.

Would you please advise me that is there anything I did wrong for this? Any additional set ups I should do to make it work? Any better way to develop this module?

Any advise or similar experience will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

The module is using the CC2640 in 5x5 QFN package. Did you change the board files accordingly? The simplest way to do this, is to change the predefined symbol as described here: dev.ti.com/.../custom-hardware.html

Cheers,
Fredrik

Thanks Fredrik,

It worked! I guess I was in a wrong direction by modifying the ARM Compiler include options. Turns out the CCS can provide much easier way to do that.

Thanks!
