Part Number: CC3200
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3100, CC3120

There are 3 iOS apps:

TI SimpleLink Starter
TI SimpleLink Starter Pro
SimpleLink SDK Explorer

Similarly, there are 3 Android apps:

Simplelink Starter
SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® Starter
SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® Starter Pro

This is very confusing. Provisioning CC3200 using SmartConfig works with some apps, but not with other ones.

Where can I find documentation about

Which app does what?
Which silicon each app supports? e.g. CC3200, CC3220

Thank you and best regards.

Hello,

TI SimpleLink Starter (iOS) and SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® Starter (Android): this is the older appliaction used for provisioning. It supports CC3100/CC3200 provisioning but prior to the enhancement addon done for provisioning.

TI SimpleLink Starter Pro [iOS) and SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® Starter Pro (Android): this is the new provisioning application used for CC3120/CC3220 or for CC3100/CC3200 running the new provisioning addon.

SimpleLink SDK Explorer (iOS): this is made to showcase and extend functionality of SimpleLink SDK products (not related to provisioning at all).

Simplelink Starter (Android): mobile application mainly for Simplelink sensor tag platforms (mainly BLE).

Regards,

Shlomi

Shlomi Itzhak, done!

The naming of the apps is rather confusing. May I suggest to use more explicit names for the apps and provide the information on their description?

This apps mismatch put a demo of a CC3200-based product in jeopardy.
