Compiler/CC3100MODBOOST: connect to zc702

Part Number: CC3100MODBOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3100MOD, CC3100

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hi all,


I have a big question. We have a Zc702 board, acquiring different data and we want to send the information through cc3100mod. Someone know how is the better way to transfer the data to the cc3100mod (spi or uart), and also anyone have some example to do this?.

Thank you.


Javier

  • Dear Javier - 

    in looking at the ZC702 board from the user guide, its not 100% clear what is available on that board for you to use. - looks like there is SPI, UART, I2C, and GPIO - but again, not clear on if you can use it.  

    The CC3100MOD module connects to (in most user applications) any 8-, 16-, or 32- bit MCU over the SPI or UART Interface - and in this case, i would think if you can get access to the peripherals on the FPGA, you can use it in same manner.

    The SPI bus can run up to 20MHz, so it will be fastest bus to communicate with. 

    there are examples in the CC3100 SDK, you may want to have a look on the SPI Debug Tool example first, to get it functional, if that is the one you decide to go with.

  • Thank you for your answer, and sorry for delayed reply.

    I am looking for the information in the web and I think that I need to write the simplelink host driver in the ZC702 (or any zynq) for the cc3100 in order to use the spi port. But, I don't really sure how to implement the wifi code on the cc3100 from the zc702. Using the eclipse in the PC is easy to understand, but from the zc702 I believe that needs to be different, right?

    The example that you tell me is about using a MCU from TI, but I have not been able to run it. Could you give me more documentation or any example for to do this?

    My best,

    Javier

  • Javier,

    Unfortunately, we do not have any documentation or examples that cover interfacing the CC3100 with a ZC702.
