CC3200: Developing for CC3200 using linux without eclipse or CCS

Part Number: CC3200
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Hello,

I want to develop for the CC3200 under linux, but I don't want to install CCS or Eclipse, I want to use makefiles.

I found a project on github that is supposed to work and is based on TI's SDK but it didn't work. Then I tried using TI's SDK but it didn't work.

I tried compiling the application_bootloader and after a few modifications to the makefile it compiled. Then I tried compiling the blinky example and it compiled correctly. When I go to use the cc32tool it doesn't work.

I set the SOP2 jumper. use the command "cc3200tool -p /dev/ttyUSB1 --sop2 ~dtr --reset prompt write_file blinky.bin blinky.bin" (I used blinky twice because the example in github tells me to use /sys/mcuimg.bin, but there is no mcuimg.bin). I have looked everywhere and I just can't find this file. When I go to the forums it "just appears" and I have no idea of where it came from.

I tried installing uniflash on linux and flash from the gui, but again, it just doesn't work. I can't even format the board. It says that it doesn't get an ACK. I think this means that the SOP2 pin is not set, but the jumper is there.

Any idea on how to solve this problem? I know that Uniflash requires 32bit libraries (am on 64 bit linux), but I guess it must install them when I install uniflash.

  • Hi Pablo,

    Unfortunately, we do not currently offer Linux support on the CC3200. I'm not sure if the Linux version of Uniflash works correctly with CC3200, and I do not have a setup to try it at the moment. Anything you may have found open source or on github is not TI-written.

    For general troubleshooting, you can check that no other programs are holding the COM portal when trying to format (i.e. any terminal programs like TeraTerm).

    Best regards,
    Sarah
