CC3200: CC3200 launchxl kit cannot be detect by CCS

Part Number: CC3200
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3220S, CC3220SF, CC3235S, CC3235SF

Hi,

I have tried different version of CCS and installed the latest CC3200 SDK. However, the ccs cannot find the CC3200 launchxl kit. Could you please help?

Best regards,

Jones

  • Hi Jones,

    1. Are you seeing any error codes or messages when you plug in the launchpad?
    2. Do you see the COM port for the device under device manager?
    3. Is the board configured as you see in the Getting Started Guide linked here: https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swru376e/swru376e.pdf?ts=1651861171446&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F#page=6&zoom=100,0,276
    4. Have you tried using a different USB cable?
    5. Have you tried on a different PC?

    Best regards,

  • Hi Jesse,

    1. There is no error codes shown. But when I 
    2. Yes. I can see the com port shown in device manager named "CC3200LP Dual Port"
    3. Yes
    4. Tried. Same result.
    5. Tried. Same result.

    In fact, I cannot find any option for cc3200 launchpad when I use Resource Explorer. The Software->Examples->Development Tools only shows 

    1. CC3220S LaunchPad
    2. CC3220SF LaunchPad
    3. CC3235S LaunchPad
    4. CC3235SF LaunchPad

    The oldest CC32xx SDK that can be select is 2.40.00.17. However, it seems CC3200 require a lower version of SDK. So I wonder how can the CCS use the cc3200 launchpad.

    I think your first point above may have been cut off. Are there any details you can add about error codes or messages you see when you plug in the launchpad?

    The CC32xx SDK is for our Gen 2 and Gen 3 devices. CC3200 is Gen 1. You can download the CC3200 SDK and Service Packs here: https://www.ti.com/tool/download/CC3200SDK

  • Hi Jesse,

    Sorry for the confusion caused. "But when I " is redundant. I have finished what I want to comment.

    For downloading SDK. I have downloaded it and installed. How about the IDE? It seems cannot detect I have installed the CC3200 SDK and cannot start a n example project for cc3200 using the CCS.

  • Hi Jones,

    Now that you have the CC3200 SDK installed, you can import examples from the SDK into CCS by clicking Project --> Import CCS Projects..., browse to the folder where the CC3200 is installed and click "Select Folder". Select the project you want to import and click "Finish" to import it into CCS. You can then build and debug the project. For example, I just tested this with the "blinky" example project.

    Best regards,
