CC3100: UART needed to flash through bootloader in CC3130 or is SPI bus enough ?

Hi

We are using a RX65 connected via UART and SPI to the CC3130.

Since we are using the SPI for communication through TIs SDK (sl_Start ,, etc..) and we can program new ServicePackages by using the Sl_FsProgram, 

then the question is, do we need the UART at all ?

Another question is that it seems the stored accesspoint is deleted when programming new servicepack into the CC3130. Could this be avoided.

BR

    The UART is mainly used for the initial (product line) programming , so if you are using the SPI the program - the UART can be avoided. 

    when using sl_FsProgram, the entire content of the flash is erased (thus the stored profiles are erased) and the file system is re-initialized.

    When you just update specific files (such as SP or MCU image), I recommend that you overwrite the specific files (sl_FsOpen, sl_FsWrite, sl_FsClose) rather than use the sl_FsProgram (you can refer to the ota library for example).
