CC3301: Problem after updating to new WiFi Firmware

Part Number: CC3301
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SIMPLELINK-WIFI-TOOLBOX

Tool/software:

Hi 

My setup is a CC1354 LP with CC3301 (wire attached)

Based on the ble_wifi_provisioning example - I have made an application doing continuously http POSTs to a server.


I am using the netconn api to do the TCP Stuff. My application works fine for some time and then stops. It stops in the faultISR() {while (1) }

I thought it might be a good idea to update the CC3301 FW to the latest version. I was running ver. 10700182 and i used the simplelink-wifi-toolbox to update to ver. 10700185


But now my application will not run it is stuck at this state in the terminal window 

Is there something i have to do in my CCS project after updating the CC3301 firmware ?

Extra question:

Will CC33xx SDK release officially support CC1354 in the future ?

Kind regards 

Thomas

  • Hey Thomas,

    Yes, you need to update something from the CCS side. Since the CC33xx device is a RAM based device, when you use radio tool to update and turn it off, the image gets erased and needs to be reuploaded.

    What you need to do is upload the new firmware to the external flash of the CC1354. The user guide has steps do this, but here are the steps:

    import the firmware upload project located in the platforms/cc13x4_cc26x4/tools folder named "cc33xx-firmware-programmer" and follow the readme.

    Do we plan on making it officially supported, yes. That is the plan, our target timeline is end of the year.

  • Hi 

    Thank you - I used the cc33xx-firmware-programmer and downgraded the firmware again.

    I am glad to here that you will officially support the cc13x4 setup soon.

    I guess that I will have to await this - to get up and running with latest CC33XX firmware.

    As mentioned I am having some problems - that seems like the CC3301 just suddenly "dies" after some time when running my NETCONN based application.

     
    As mentioned I am using 10700182 and I believe that you have some fixes in the latest firmware that might address the issues that my application is having - so I look forward to get my setup up-to-date with latest firmware.



    Kind regards
