BOOSTXL-CC2650MA: Read/Write flash using 401 Launchpad?

Part Number: BOOSTXL-CC2650MA
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650MODA, UNIFLASH

Can someone tell me step by step how to read/write the flash on the CC2650MODA using a MSP-EXP432F401R Launchpad?

I thought I was doing the right thing by removing the jumpers, soldering on a 100K Resistor to NRST (on the top side of the board), and using the JTAG cable included.

But when I go to Uniflash and pick CC2650F128 via XDS110 USB Debug probe,

0. Click read memory...
1. It wants to update the flash
2. Update or no, it complains that it cannot connect to the ICEpick.

Hi Thor,

Can you provide more details regarding what you are trying to do, and possibly a picture of your setup? Are you trying to use the debug circuitry from the launchpad to flash your CC2650MOD?

Thanks,

Alexis

Hi Thor,

I haven't heard back from you in a while. Have you resolved your issue?

Thanks,

Alexis

Yes. I let the SimpleAP upload a new BSL to a different MODA board (which promptly broke it because it was using the blob for the 2460r2 instead of the MODA, so I was wanting to revive it by

1. Read the flash of the replacement MODA board (using the JTAG cable and the debug circuitry from the Launchpad)
2. Program that image into the old MODA board (using the JTAG cable and the launchpad debug)
3. Change the code to use the image extracted instead of the one that came as part of the kit just to make sure it didn't happen again.
4. Get back to work on my project....

Err...need to know what to try next...

Is there a hex file of the default MODA firmware?

Do you mean to update XDS110 debugger on MSP-EXP432F401R Launchpad to update firmware on CC2650MODA? You can try to refer to the discussions in https://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless-connectivity/bluetooth/f/538/p/669263/2462838#2462838?jktype=e2e
