CCS/CC3100MODBOOST: CCS/CC3100MODBOOST

Part Number: CC3100MODBOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS570LC4357, CC3100MOD, CC3100, CC3100SDK

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

    To start with we are using TMS570LC4357 controller and were using Ethernet . Now we have purchased CC3100MODBOOST , I have TMS570LC4357 LaunchPad and and CC3100MODBOOST . How do i start with so that i should do TCPIP and UDP communication between other machines . My interface to CC3100MOD BOOST will be UART from Launchpad  . Please guide me through  this as this is quite different from other WFI modules which works on AT commands. I am using Code Composer Studio 

  • Hi Abhijith,

    We have a CC3100 SDK you can download to help you get started on software development. There are drivers and examples available to help you, including a UDP and TCPIP example.

    However, one issue is that the TMS570 series is not one of the supported platforms on the SDK. It might be pretty difficult to port over the code and develop your own drivers using the TMS570 as a host controller.

    What is your reasoning behind using the TMS570? If you'd like, you can download the CC3100 SDK and see what platforms we support at the below directory...

    www.ti.com/.../CC3100SDK ==> Download link

    C:\ti\CC3100SDK_1.2.0\cc3100-sdk\platform

    Hope this helps,
    Kevin
  • Deat Kevin,

                        We already have TMS570LC4357 in our products and which is working fine in field .WiFi is a part of up gradation so it is not possible to switch processors as all of our products runs in Locomotive .Is there any WiFi module which support TMS570LC4357?.

    Thanks & Regards

    Abhi. 

  • Hi Abhi,

    Neither the CC31XX or CC32XX families have supporting drivers for the Cortex-R5 at this time. I would imagine it would be quite difficult to create drivers to support the R5 on your own. I'm not sure if there are other WiFi modules that support the R5 architecture.

    Best,
    Kevin
