I am trying to connect to my BOOSTXL-TLV8544PIR using a LAUNCHXL-CC2650. When I connect the 2650 the device is unknown. The User's Guide says if it is unknown to click on it and it will allow me to update the firmware. Instead I get a message that "The selected device could not be identified." as shown below:
Hi YK,
I just connected the BOOSTXL-TLV8544PIR to the CC2650 Launchpad board and connected the Launchpad board to the computer with a USB. Here is a picture.
Thanks,
Matt
Yes, I followed those steps. In the User's Guide it shows the following dialog box when clicking on Unknown for the CC2650:
When I actually click on Unknown I get the following dialog box:
Hi Paul,
I tried unplugging and reconnecting the CC2650 USB and also removing the BOOSTXL-TLC8544 board and connecting without that. I got the same message I showed in previous messages.
From the User's Guide and your explanation, what I think I am trying to do is get the programmer firmware for the CC2650 board. I have tried doing this by clicking on the Unknown button beneath XDS110 (and I received the error shown in previous messages). I tried putting COM7 and COM8 to CC2650 and hitting the run button (with the settings shown in the User's Guide). The status in that case said failed and I see what is shown below:
Is setting COM7 and COM8 to CC2650 what you meant by "selecting these" or is there something else I should be doing also?
Thanks,
Matt
Hello Mathew,
I managed to dig up a board and play with it a bit.
The "XDS100" in the top row is the Launchpad board. Highlight the CC2650 line. If you highlight the "XDS110, XDSL1000..." line, the image of the red board should appear in the space there the "CC2650 Wireless MCU" appears below the list.
Here is what mine looks like:
Make sure the Windows Device Manager shows the following under Ports (Control Panel -> Device Manager) :
As the user manual says, if it looks like the below with yellow exclamation marks, then the USB drivers are not installed.
If it looks like above, try reinstalling the Smart Flash Programmer 2 software, but this time make sure to right-click on the installer icon and select "Install as Administrator" - otherwise Windows may block installing the USB drivers.
Have you tried the Mass Erase as the error message recommended?
Select the top CC2650 line, then click the blue wrench in the upper right, then select "CC26xx/CC3x...Forced Mass Erase". This should reset it back to factory default.
Then click the blue "Go" button to program the 8544 code.
On mine, all the LED's on the BOOSTXL turned off (bus power turned off) after the mass erase. Then they then re-illuminated when the TLV8544 code was flashed with the blue button.
If you open your favorite serial terminal program and open the higher of the two COM ports, at 115200 baud, you should see the data continuously scrolling in four comma separated columns.
This time, with images!
