I see that i am in "Fast Connect" Mode . It seems that my CC3100 is in state since received.
I never succes to call WlanPolicySet since i have the CC3100/

Hi Fabien,

The version you shared is not correct. -7 error also corresponds to the file system/serial flash.

Few questions:

• Are you using a custom board or CC3100 Bosster Pack>
• Can you try updating the service pack?

I used a custom board. So actually (before the released of the uniflash protocol, see here http://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless_connectivity/f/968/t/380726)
i will need to buy a Booster pack to can update my device.

I check quickly why my version is not correct.

Ok, i understand the problem for my version.
sl_DevGet put 0 in the len variable !

So actually my device is only working in Station mode. (i success to get TCP socket in this mode)
It is not possible to play with sl_WLanPolicyGet and never to get the Device Id.

So with Unifalsh i get :
[18:18:32] INFO: > Bootloader version: 2.0.3.4
[18:18:32] INFO: > Chipset version: 3

After updating the service pack:
CHIP 539289
MAC 31.539800.1090519040.0.539327
PHY 0.0.0.0
NWP 537331092.25.539347.0
ROM 300
HOST 1.0.0.1

I found my problem : not enough power for my device that was powered by the usb port powering also my cpu.
THanks to : http://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless_connectivity/f/968/t/383998
Finally i bought a Emuboost for nothing.
Here my version with good behaviour:
CHIP 50331651
MAC 31.0.0.3.0
PHY 1.1.8.8
NWP 2.2.7.1
ROM 8738
HOST 1.0.0.1

Hi Fabien,

Thanks for the update.
The EMUBOOST board is used for updating the service pack and flashing the user files using uniflash.

But, for the moment, my first problem is always here.
My device does not restart in AP MODE.

So since i power up well my device the get version work well.

The Station mode and TCP feature work very well too (i get some strange behaviour in TCP data transfert before fix this power problem)

But i get always some problems :

 - my device did not restart in Station mode (but before the re-start the setMode method does not return an error)

 - if i try the configureSimpleLinkToDefaultState method before, the call to 

retVal = sl_WlanPolicySet(SL_POLICY_CONNECTION, SL_CONNECTION_POLICY(1, 0, 0, 0, 1), NULL, 0);

 return negative value.

 - since i power well my device i saw that on first start a received a general async event with status -78 meaning 

SL_ERROR_PREFERRED_NETWORKS_FILE_LOAD_FAILED

This can be the source of my problem ?

What can i do to fix that ?

 

So with a new clean format, i succes to make sl_WlanPolicy and also start as AP.
But i have one last strange behaviour :

with the CC3100MOD

powered through MCU : get version faileds, TCP exchange gets some bugs, but sl_WlanPolicy is ok and success to configure as AP.

powered through LDO : get version is ok, TCP exchange are fast and ok, WlanPolicy fails, impossible to start as AP.


Strange.... ?
