LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2: Receiving BTool error while trying to download simple peripheral OAD offchip example program

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2

Hello,

I am new to using LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2 development kit. I have installed CCS 7.2.0, CCs 10.2.0 and Simple Link SDK 1.40.00.45 in my system. When I tried downloading the image file *oad.bin from BTool, it brought up the attached Connection Handle error.

I tried the following steps:

(1) Built the project in CCS 10.2.0 as the project file is not compatible to 7.2.0

(2) Connected LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2 to my system and opened BTool (available in simplelink SDK 1.40.00.45 tools sub folder)

(3) Established serial port connection in BTool and scanned for the board (Scan was successful) 

(4) Established connection after entering the device address under the Discover/Connect tab in BTool

(5) Under OAD tab in BTool, selected the .bin file to be downloaded over the air to the development kit

NOTE: I could see that the Handle has a value of: 0xFFFE, as soon as I scan for development kit from BTool

Also, I am unable to find the simplelink perpheral oad offchip project file that is compatible to be used with CCS 7.2.0. It will be great if someone could guide me in finding the example projects that are compatible with CCS 7.2.0 as this is the version required for my project.

    Hello Nandhini,

    I have assigned an expert to help with your query. In the meantime, is there any reason why you cannot use the latest CCS and SDK? If it is due to an older project being based on those SDKs, then you may find the following migration guides helpful to help get your project to a more current version.

    BLE Migration Guides

    BLE5 Migration Guides

    You may find the BLE Enhanced Over the Air Download (OAD) SLA lab helpful. It goes in-depth into how OAD works and how to get it running on a sample project. However, the lab is intended to work with more recent versions of the SDK and CCS.

    Hello Jan,

    I wanted to use the older CCS version, as the project was already complete and in good working coondition on a different system and now I am trying to recreate the project from my end on my system for back up reasons and additional testing. But as the project was completed by 2017, it uses the older version of CCS, and I wanted to stick with the same version so that the environmental set up will be identical and I will be able to perform additional tests.

    Please let me know in case of any concerns.

    Best Regards,

    Hello,

    I thought of checking back regarding my post that I had added yesterday. It will be great if someone will be able to look into the issue and advise on a possible fix. I have been trying to fix the issue for a week, but it keeps coming up and I am not sure about the origin causing the error. Please let me know in case further details are required for clarity and review.

    Thanks in advance for your time and support!

    Best Regards,
