Hello,

I would like to test the example software for bluetooth communication.

I installed ble_sdk_2_02_04_06 and now I am trying to program the launchpad but without success.

Error:

Cortex_M3_0: GEL Output: Memory Map Initialization Complete.
Cortex_M3_0: Failed Board Reset: (Error -151 @ 0x0) One of the FTDI driver functions used during the connect returned bad status or an error. The cause may be one or more of: no XDS100 is plugged in, invalid XDS100 serial number, blank XDS100 EEPROM, missing FTDI drivers, faulty USB cable. Use the xds100serial command-line utility in the 'common/uscif' folder to verify the XDS100 can be located. (Emulation package 9.2.0.00002)
Cortex_M3_0: GEL: Error while executing StartUp( 10, 1, 0, 2013 ): Reset failed: retcode=-1
at GEL_AdvancedReset("Board Reset") [cc26x0.gel:29]
at StartUp(10, 1, 0, 2013)

I thought it was a problem with the XDS100 but with other projects it works.

Thanks in advance for your reply,

Hi Fabio,

My first step would be to test the connection. Navigate to the project's targetConfigs folder and find the ccxml file. There, navigate to the Test Connection section as seen in the image below. What does this test output?

I suggest attempting to use UniFlash to see if you have the same errors that persist. UniFlash will attempt to detect your device and will allow you to flash the device with the project binary that can be found under Binaries folder once you build the example project in CCS. The download for UniFlash is located at https://www.ti.com/tool/UNIFLASH. A quickstart guide on how to use UniFlash is located at http://downloads.ti.com/ccs/esd/uniflash/docs/latest_qsguide.html.

Best Regards,

Jenny

I found the solution:

Searching on the forum, they recommend installing the ARM compiler v.6.9.5.

After doing that I was able to get everything working.

Thanks for the support anyway.
