Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3100, , CC3200, UNIFLASH, CC31XXEMUBOOST, CC3100MOD, MSP430F5529
This is not a question, but a separate posting that I hope will be of value to other TI Customers and Users.
I have been working with Jan and other on a separate question ” TI CC3100 SDK-Ver-1.3.0 Email No Longer Works”
Due to an error the original post had SDK-1.3.1, should have been SDK-1.3.0.
It is a long series of postings, and I posted this recently near the end of that long discussion and I am reposting it here so it is more visible to other TI customers and Users.
Hi Jan, again thanks for all your help.
I should have thought of checking the Service Pack level earlier, and we were getting hopeful that this may be the solution to enable a CC3100 to still Send Email.
Thanks so much for links to additional documents to provide clues how to upgrade the Service Pack.
I was able to finally successfully load the latest Service Pack to 2 different CC3100BOOST devices.
***Unfortunately the CC3100 is still not able to Send Email.*** I have only tried it on GMAIL port 465 with TLS.
I think SEND EMAIL using TI CC3100 parts is no longer feasible, and not solvable.
Of course still open to any additional ideas you, others at TI, or other Customers / User have that will still make this possible.
Attached below are 2 big attachments: 1) List of Key Documents for CC3100, and 2) Step by Step how to upgrade the Service Pack on a CC3100 or CC3200.
A. To help other TI customers and User here is list to key documents to reference for CC3100 and CC3100 Service Pack updating.

Above table is written: “Ideally all FTDI chipsets on evaluation boards are pre-flashed.”
- So believe should only see 2 COM ports and use the lower one.

B. To help other TI customers and users here is step by step how to upgrade the CC3100 Service Pack.
- Download and install CCS UniFlash 3.4., UniFlash 8.2.0 does not support the CC3100/CC3200,
UNIFLASH Software programming tool | TI.com
- Download CC3100 Service Pack
CC3100SDK Software development kit (SDK) | TI.com
Version: 1.0.1.15-2.14.0.0
Date: May 11th, 2021
Files: - servicepack_1.0.1.15-2.14.0.0.bin
This Service Pack image can be used with production silicon only.
The list of silicon that are compatible with this ServicePack are:
- CC3100R1
- CC3200R1
- Configure the CC3XXEMUBOOST and CC31000BOOST jumpers, and mate the devices
- See Document 1 above “CC3100 SimpleLink WiFI and IOT Solution BoosterPack Hardware User’s Guide”, SWRU371B Jan 2015
- Launch / Start CCS UniFlash 3.4
- Click on New Target Configuration
- Select CC3x Serial(UART) Interface from the pull down list
- Board or Device will auto populate “SimpleLink Wifi CC3100/CC3200
- Press OK this will open the GUI for the CC31xx/CC32xx Flash Setup and Contol
- This will show:
- COMM PORT
- FORMAT
- Program
- Service Pack Programming
- Image Programing
- Get Version
- Add File
- List File System
- Connect a USB cable from the CC3XXEMUBOOST J6 port (right side) to your PC
- PC Windows Settings, Device Manager, Ports
- Mine came up with 4 Ports
- CC3100BP PORT (COM10)
- CC3100BP PORT (COM7)
- CC3100BP PORT (COM8)
- CC3100BP PORT (COM9)
- The TI documentation 2 below says to use the 3rd port.
- I found 3rd Port does not work, I had to use the 4th PORT COM9
- Click on the 4th line and then Port Settings Tab
- ****Change the Baud rate to 921,600, and other settings as show in Document 3 below****
- Baud rate: 921,600
- Data bits: 8 bits
- Flow control: None
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1
- Polarity: Positive
- *****Extremely critical to ensure the above change is done and accepted. Ie After setting it go back and re-verify.
- Back to CCS UniFlash GUI screen enter the COM PORT to match your COM PORT, in my case it is 9
- CCS UniFlash GUI, click on Format
- I found it was already set to 1 MB
- See document 1 below SWRU371B 2015 page 7; YES 1 Mbyte is correct
- Click on “Get Version”
- This step is mainly to confirm a working connection to the CC3100BOOST
