CCS/LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1: I can not use rtls_example.py

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

When I use the rtls_example.py, it shows that

I think the problem is I am not set up the com port greatly. But How can I set up this in mac?

  • Hi Wukong,

    Do you have access to a windows machine for testing?

  • I haven't use windows to test. Is mac can not use the rtls_example.py?

  • Hi Wukong,

    Normally it should work on you MAC too. I know that older RTLS versions were not correctly supported by MAC but it should be ok now.

    With that said, I see at least three elements you should verify:

    - Have you installed all the required package? Are you using the virtual environment as recommend for SDK v3.20? For details, please consult the rtls_agen README

    - Have you change the port COM used by your script to match the port used by your devices? Have you connected the passive and the master to your computer? Have you try to basically power cycle your devices?

    - Is there any other application (such as Flash Programmer or CCS) trying to use your devices too?

    I hope this will help,

    Regards,

  • I have verified all of elements you mentioned. But don't konw how to set the port COM. Is Location ID the port COM? Or how do I search the port COM in mac?

  • Hi,

    On MACOS, you can use the following command to find your COM port: ls /dev/tty.*

    With that said, you can use rtls_agent_cli (the mac version of it is here: C:\ti\simplelink_cc13x2_26x2_sdk_3_20_00_68\tools\ble5stack\rtls_agent\bin\mac\rtls_agent_cli) to verify which COM port is used by your devices and if they are properly flashed.

    Regards,

  • When I connect my Master and Passive, why there are four Com port? Which one should I type?

  • Sorry, I cannot help you about the questions related to MAC OS usage (I basically do not have the knowledge and the material to test).

    With that said, you can use rtls_agent_cli (the mac version of it is here: C:\ti\simplelink_cc13x2_26x2_sdk_3_20_00_68\tools\ble5stack\rtls_agent\bin\mac\rtls_agent_cli) to verify which COM port is used by your devices and if they are properly flashed.

    Regards,

  • Thank you for your answer above.
