CC3120BOOST: SimpleLInkStudio + CC33xxEMUBOOST - trying to use PC as host MCU

Part Number: CC3120BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3100, CC3120

Hi,

I have CC3120boost + CC33xxEMUBOOST and I'm trying to use any example from SimpleLinkStudio.
I flashed the service pack 3.3.0.0-2.0.0.0-2.2.0.4 from simplelink_studio_cc31xx_sdk_1_00_00_05/tools/cc31xx_tools/servicepack-cc3x20/sp_3.2.0.0_2.0.0.0_2.2.0.4.bin
I'm trying to use get_wheather example visual studio project from examples.

The board is connected to an Windows 7 machine (all drivers installed, I can see all 4 COM ports) via J6.

The output of the program is:

*****************************************************************
CC3100 Get weather App
1.2.0
*****************************************************************
Global lock is going to be deleated so wait (busyloop) for blocking threads to be released
----------------------------------------------------------> _globalLockMutexCounter = 0x0
******************************************************************
In osi_LockObjDelete(). All threads released. Closing Handle()
******************************************************************
 Error Code -2000
 Failed to configure the device in its default state, Error code: -2000

It doesn't work configured with SPI, nor UART (SL_IF_TYPE_UART).

When sl_Start function is called, the return value is 1 (ROLE_UNKNOWN) each time is called from configureSimpleLinkToDefaultState

Any hint/tip/help is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Cezar

Hi Cezar,

Let me go test this out on our setup. Please expect a day or two for further response.

Hi Cezar,

Are you using the correct SDK for your CC3120? There is no Get Weather example in the simplelink_studio_cc31xx_sdk_1_00_00_05 for Gen 2. you may have the SDK for CC3100 installed.

You can download the correct version here: www.ti.com/.../SIMPLELINK-WIFI-CC3120-SDK-PLUGIN

Best regards,
Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for replying. The link you provided solves PC as host MCU.

I still have a problem with TI documentation :) I was reading swru467.pdf and the link to CC3120 SDK link is broken. Searching for it I found this: http://www.ti.com/tool/SIMPLELINK-WIFI-CC3120-SDK-PLUGIN

I still have a problem using a 3rd party MCU: which ti/drivers/net/wifi/* files do I have to use? Because each SLStudio / * SDK has a different sources.

Thanks,
Cezar

Hi Cezar,

Are you asking about CC3120 SDK Plugin versus SimpleLink Studio? The source for the CC3120 SDK Plugin may be easier to port for an MCU. You will need all of the net/wifi source files in order to use the SimpleLink Wi-Fi library. You will need to edit porting/user.h to add in the hooks to your host MCU code.

And thank you for the heads up on the broken link! We will get that updated.

Best regards,
Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Thanks again for your support. I succeeded to port the SDK to another MCU.
