CC3100 firmware

Does the CC3100 chip itself come with the pre-loaded firmware?

Yes, since you can run the out of the box demo. I suggest you download the SDK, there are some document guides that you can read to get familiar with CC3100.

Hello  Markel,

Thx for the replay. I'm familiar with how it works. I have ported the driver for other platform and works like a charm using CC3100 booster pack. What am interested is when I buy the single CC3100 chip does it have its firmware pre-burned in the factory or I need to upload that as well using the CC3100 advance booster pack. I can not find that information. Did You designed some board with the CC3100 and can You confirm that?

Regards

Hi Asmir,

The chip will have a version of the firmware in ROM when you receive it. If it does not have the latest version, and you want to update it to the latest version, or you need to include your own files (eg. HTML files), then you will need to program it with the service pack (and what ever files you want to include).

Check out the discussion here (towards the end of the discussion) - http://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless_connectivity/f/968/t/353805.aspx

Basically you will need to use the CC3100 EMU Boost or possibly a FTDI Cable (though not sure which one).

Hello Glenn,

Thanks for the information, however the CC3100 uses a flash memory chip for firmware patches, which are stored in that serial flash (this can be also confirmed through the BoosterPack Hardware User's Guide page 15). My question is following did anyone designed the board with CC3100 and how did he upload the firmware (which firmware) to that serial flash? 

Thank You

Asmir

Hi Asmir,

That is exactly what is being discussed, but you need to read the last few posts (there was a little confusion at the beginning). Check out this post from a TI employee - http://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless_connectivity/f/968/p/353805/1251290.aspx#1251290

Hello Asmir,

Could you tell me which MCU did you port the driver?

I'm porting the driver to PIC24EP512 but the application stays in wait for ever loop from getting_started_with_wlan_ap

Thanks
