Hai eveyone...

Am going to develop one IOT Project, There am using CC3200 for some wifi signal processing.

I have ordered CC3200 Chip from TI, I would like to know how to flash / program it using any external debugger.

I dont have CC3200 Launch Pad. If possible can anyone share me the FTDI Debugger circuitry to program CC3200.

    Hi,

    Initial programming of CC3200 need to be done by Uniflash software via serial interface. Optionally can be used Gang programming. It is not possible use debugger (JTAG/SWD) for production programming.

    Please see: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../CC3200_Production_Line_Guide

    By the way. I don't think that is good idea start development with CC3200 without LaunchPad only with QFN chips.

    Update: Schematic for LaunchPad you find here: http://www.ti.com/lit/zip/swrc289

    Hai... Am having only CC3200 chip.

    To which pins should i develop debugger interface..?

    Is there any possibility to use CC31xx Emu Boost to program CC3200 chip..?

    If is there please share me necessory supporting docs or links...

    Hi,

    Do you have already designed PCB for your chip from some 3rd party vendor? If you want create own board, do not forgot use 4 layers board. Proper design of board for CC3200 is not easy job and you need knowledge from RF design. If you not have that experience is much easier use CC3200MOD version.

    All necessary information you find at product page for CC3200 ( www.ti.com/.../CC3200 ) or at CC3200 Wiki pages.

    CC31xx Emu Boost you can use for programming of serial flash for CC3200 ("production programming"). For development purpose and debugging from CCS or IAR you need use debugger. You can use debugger from CC3200 LaunchPad or external debugger like a XDS1100. If you want use Energia, debugger is not necessary.

    You really decide to goes by wrong way if you do not want buy LaunchPad. In case of issue you will not be able determine if issue is in your own hardware or in software. But this is your choice.

    Hi,

    OK, by the way... if you not design a commercial device but device only for "mode use", maybe better and cheapest way can be use ESP8266 or ESP32 based modules.

    I hope that TI guys will not be beat for this advice. :)
