Emulator for CC3200

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200, CC3100, UNIFLASH

Dear All,

We are using CC3200 in one of our project.

I would like to know which emulator we can use to debug and program the internal cortex M4 core. I have came across suggestions to use XDS100v2 emulator which support ARM Cortex M4 core device. Does it really work?

Could any one confirm who used xds100v2 with the CC3200 JTAG/SWD

Thanks in advance

    My understanding is that you could us the XDS100 for Debugging with Code Composure Studio (or other IDE). But for Programming you will need to use a FTDI connection in conjunction with UniFlash for the CC3100/CC3200, as this will write the binary to the serial flash (search this forum, as this has been discussed a in a few threads, key words Production, FTDI, UART, Serial Flash). But effectively you can use a CC3200 LaunchPad to do this, or perhaps one of the FTDI TTL cables. There was also talk about providing support for Gang programming.

    So in summary:-

    Debugging: XDS100 Emulator (or better)
    Programming: Modified CC3200 LaunchPad or CC3100 EMU Board or FTDI TTL Cable (though not verified)
    Mass Programming: Serial Flash Gang Programmer (Need to check with TI on the status for support regarding this)

    Hi Glenn Vassallo

    Thanks for the response.
    I understand that either I can use the TI CC3200 launch pad and use the UART headers to flash the code in to serial flash over FTDI or as discussed in the post http://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless_connectivity/f/968/p/353805/1251290#1251290, I need to take out the UART1 TX/RX, nRESET and SOP2 and using uniflash load the application code to sFlash through FTDI driver.
    And as mentioned in the post http://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless_connectivity/f/968/p/353805/1251290#1251290, could you share me the link to download the SimpleLink Programmr software tool?
    Is there any possibility that I can use UART to RS232 and send the microcontroller application binary to the serial flash using uniflash.
    Looking forward to hear from you soon.

    Thanks and Regards

    Here is the UniFlash version you need -

    I doubt it....as you will need to interface with the Computer/UniFlash with the FTDI USB device class to make things work (It will viewed as a COM Port), so this requires a FTDI chip somewhere. Here is a list of FTDI TTL Cables....just not sure which of these you would need -
