How do I program and debug two CC3200 devices using Code Composer Studio at the same time?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200

I want to develop code to run on two CC3200 devices (with the CC3200 Launchpad) simultaneously so that they can interact with each other over WiFi. The project within Code Composer Studio allows me to program and debug one device but to program and debug the other I need to disconnect the first device and connect the second, meaning that I can no longer debug the first device. Ideally I would have a single project which can be used to program both devices and then have the option to debug either device in real time.

I could run two instances of CCS with a separate project for each device. However with two devices connected to the PC at the same time I can't see how to tell one instance of CCS to program and debug one device and the other instance to program and debug the other.

Glad to have any suggestions as I am sure others will have come across the same problem.

Hi Russ,

I can see 3 potential ways forward.

1) 2 computers.
2) 1 computer with a virtual machine. Run CCS on the host OS and CCS in the virtual machine.
3) Open 2 session of CCS on the same computer/OS, with one session using the Stellaris ICDI and the other session using the XDS100 (JTAG) emulator.

Note: I have not tested option 2 or 3, so not 100% sure they will work.

Hello,

I can say that option 2) 1 computer with a virtual machine. Run CCS on the host OS and CCS in the virtual machine.
is working fine. I'm running CCS from VirtualBox with mention that I have permanently added the USB id.

Thanks Glenn,

I don't have the option to run a virtual machine so I am just using two computers - not ideal but it works, thanks for the suggestions.
