Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ENERGIA
Hi,
I am currently working on a code in Energia that will allow me to upload and send a binary file wirelessly from a client site to the CC3200. So far, the code has successfully accomplished the following:
-the board establishes a Wi-Fi network
-commands from a laptop can interact with the board (the Energia Simple Wi-Fi Server example (LED ON/OFF) code was tested to ensure this was working)
-a 9 byte binary file is sent through Wi-Fi to the board's volatile memory, saved from volatile memory into an on-baord flash memory file, and confirmed by sending it back to the laptop through a serial connection
The code is eventually supposed to receive a larger binary file (we hope around 500 KB) that will represent points on a sinusoidal curve. This file will then be sent to the Audio Booster Pack board to play the audio file.
I created a flash file which was opened, and written to through a buffer array containing the binary file contents.
This method was successful for a 9 byte file, but I learned that a larger 500 KB file cannot be stored in a buffer array so easily. I think this is because of a lack of RAM space on the board, but I am not entirely sure why the larger file won't save, since the on-board flash memory supports file sizes of 1 MB.
How can I save this larger binary file to the flash memory? Is the buffer array approach a good method? Latency isn't really an issue, as long as we can fit the whole file on the board, and then play it after.
Thanks, any support is greatly appreciated!
