CC3100 + MSP430F5529 No Console Output

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3100, UNIFLASH

Hello, 

I am running the "Getting Started with WLAN Station" program but I cannot get any console output.  I have a console running for ALL the possible ports,  MSP Application UART1, MSPDebug Interface and Communications Port, at 9600, 8, 1 but I do not get any console output.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hi Kas,

    You should connect  to the MSP Application UART1 port with terminal settings described in this page.

    Did you load the project located in <cc3100 SDK installation locaion>\cc3100-sdk\platform\msp430f5529lp\example_project_ccs\getting_started_with_wlan_station ?

  • Hello Victor, 

    I have set the terminal up as explained on that page and I have loaded the project from the suggested location. I have followed the instructions as laid out in CC3100 SimpleLink Wi-Fi and IoT Solution Getting started guide - Users Guide (Doc Ref# SWRU375) but I still do not see anything on any of the possible com ports.

    Any further suggestions would be welcomed.

    Thanks

  • Hello Victor, 

    I must have been looking at some other code because at closer inspection there is no output in this code. The notes says there is and by all accounts there should be but I can not see anything in main(). So I will put it down to me looking for something which is just not there.

    Thanks

  • Hi Kas,

    For Getting Started with Wlan example uart prints are enabled on SDK 0.5.2.

    If you are using SDK 0.5.2 you should be able to see the prints.

  • Thank you Ankur,

    I will look again as to why it does not appear to be in my code, I will try find a version number somewhere, if you could possibly point me to a location to find this info it would be great.

    Thanks

    Kas

    PS found it in a readme file in ../cc3100-sdk

    CC3100 SDK v0.5.2 release

  • Hello Ankur, 

    I was able to get an output but it stops half way:

    Getting started with station application - Version 1.0.0
    *******************************************************************************
    Device is configured in default state
    Device started as STATION

    After that there is nothing more. I have started debugging the code but I can't see any the obvious at this point why the CC3100 should not be connecting to the AP.

    Thanks

  • Hi Kas,

    I think I may have been experiencing a similar issue, I wasn't able to get any output in Tera Term eventhough the COM port settings were correct.

    Have you tried connecting with your terminal program after hitting the "debug" button in CCS (but before hitting resume button)? I was able to get the serial output working by doing this.

    Cheers,

  • Hello Edger, 

    I will give that a try, thank you. A side question, did you have any issues with the other sample projects such as code limit reached with "get_time" or any other issues.

    Thanks

    Kas

  • I haven't had any thus far, but lemme try them all tonight and I'll let you know if I come across anything.

    Cheers,

    -Edgar

  • That would be great, thank you. I tried Getting time on my home PC with few issues but at work I get a code limit reached error, so I was just wondering.

    Thanks so much for the help.

  • Hello,

    I am facing similar issues. I am trying the Getting Started with AP application and it seems to get stuck after displaying the banner.

     Getting started with WLAN access-point application - Version 1.0.0
    *******************************************************************************

    Please suggest workarounds.

    Thanks

  • I uninstalled the SDK cleaned any relevant files and made sure there was nothing related left behind. Restarted my computer and the re-installed the SDK and found that that helped. It still took time for the CC3100 to connect to the AP (I guess my signal strength isn't strong enough) but after ~5min it connected) try that and let me know how it goes.

  • I updated the firmware on the CC3100 from the service pack using uniflash. It seems to work after that.


    Thanks for the help
