CCS/LAUNCHXL-CC2650: Programming the Si7021 temperature sensor with Sensor Controller Studio

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello everyone,

I am trying program the temperature sensor Si7021 with the sensor controller on the CC2650 LAUNCHPAD. I am having a hard time understanding how to use I2C on the sensor controller studio. I have programmed the temperature sensor on Code Composer Studio successfully but I want it to run from the sensor controller so I can optimize the power consumption. Can anyone help me better understand the use of I2C on sensor controller. I have looked at the Ambient light sensor example that they have but I do not understand it.

    BIOS_start();

}

 I have inserted the code I used to program the temperature sensor using code composer studio. If anyone can please help me convert this code to something that will function on the sensor controller studio. Thank you!
