Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650, , CC2640
I am using:
CC2650 LaunchPad Rev 1.2
C:\ti\simplelink\ble_sdk_2_02_01_18
github.com/.../ble_examples
Code Composer Studio 6.2.0.00050
TI ARM tools 5.2.6
Using CCS, I can build and debug simple_proprietary_beacon, and the CC2650 LaunchPad transmits beacons. Good.
If I close CCS, beacons continue. Also good.
But if I disconnect the USB cable from the CC2650 LaunchPad and then reconnect it, the board does not transmit beacons. I expected the board was now flashed and would transmit beacons from power up.
I also tried flashing the stack and app using SmartRF Flash Programmer 2, but again there is no beacon transmission after power up by reconnecting USB.
I tried removing the jumpers to isolate the CC2650 from the XDS100 debugger section and added an external battery to 3V3 and GND, but again there is no beacon transmission after battery power is applied.
So -- Is it possible for the CC2650 LaunchPad to be flashed and then run (transmitting beacons) untethered from a machine running CCS? Or does the CC2650 only operate when connected via USB, under the control of CCS?
