BOOSTXL-CC3120MOD: sl_Start returns

Hi Eser,

If you have not set the mode before, try calling sl_WlanSetMode(<ROLE_STA or ROLE_AP>) then performing a restart of the NWP with a call to sl_Stop(0xFF) followed by sl_Start() again.

Alternatively, you can set the mode when you program the servicepack via UniFlash by going to  System Setting -> General Settings and selecting the desired role under the Start Role drop down.

Best,

Ben M

Hello Ben,

Actually I have already tried all the things (including General Settings) what you have said in your mail. And the result is same it's ROLE_RESERVED.

Could you please check the printf output of my code while communicating with the host interface. And also I am sending part of my code.

By the way do I need to do anything when the Host IRQ is called ?

Code snippet for starting the CC3120

wifi_init();

pc.printf("***************************************************************************\r\n");

pc.printf("***************************************************************************\r\n");

int16_t ret = sl_WlanSetMode(ROLE_STA);

sl_Stop(0);

int16_t Role = sl_Start(0, 0, 0);

if (ROLE_STA == Role) {

pc.printf("CC3120 is in ROLE_STA mode...\r\n");

} else if (ROLE_AP == Role) {

pc.printf("CC3120 is in ROLE_AP mode...\r\n");

}

Output of the Host Interface Driver...

CC3120 is reseted...

CC3120 is initiliazed...

Reset pin is 1, Hib is 0, CS is 1 and IRQ is pulled down...

Hi Eser,

Have you updated the service pack on the device? Does the issue occur with multiple CC3120 devices?

If so, I believe the issue is with how the data received from the CC3120 is being stored or interpreted on that platform.

Please take a look at the data returned in the host driver from the sl_Start() call. Specifically, you can see what the message is that is passed to the _SlDeviceGetStartResponseConvert() function call inside of sl_Start(). This will show the actual data returned from the interface, prior to being translated into a device role from the StartResponseLUT.

Best Regards,
Ben M
