CC3220SF-LAUNCHXL: Provisioning: Connecting SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® Technology

Part Number: CC3220SF-LAUNCHXL
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3220SF, CC1310, CC3200

Hello, 

I have followed the "Provisioning: Connecting SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® Technology" Lab in the SimpleLink Academy in the CC3220SF SDK. I have done all the steps and opened the web page of the launchpad.

What I want the launchpad to do is communicate with a gateway (CC1310 Launchpad) through Wi-Fi. 

Can I find any examples or demos on how to control the CC3220SF launchpad through Wi-Fi? and can it communicate with the previously mentioned gateway?

Thank you,

    Hi,

    CC1310 chip is not a WiFi device. From this reason CC3220SF cannot communicate with this chip by "air".

    Hi Jan,

    Even if the CC1310 is connected to the internet using an Ethernet controller?

    What about the provisioning example, can I find demos anywhere? Because I found here: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../CC3200_SmartConfig_Provisioning that for the CC3200 I can run four different demos. Can I do something similar with the CC3220?

    Thank you,

    Hi,

    If your CC3110 is connected into same LAN as CC3220 or into internet, in tat case you can communicate between this devices. But if you need this, you need to create proper firmware into CC3220 and CC3110. In this case make sense use MQTT or such protocol (in CC3220 SDK is already MQTT demo). I am not sure if that type of demo code is already prepared for CC3110.

    Link above described provisioning method for CC3200. This information is not related to CC3220. Also it has nothing to do with communication between CC3220 and CC1310.

    Hello,

    Thank you so much for your help!

    Well.. the provisioning is what allows the CC3220SF to connect to Wi-Fi right? Can the launchpad communicate through Wi-Fi without it?

    Yes I know they're not related, I just want to know if I it's possible to run such demos on CC3220SF launchpad.

    Thank you,

    Hi,

    Provisioning is method how to set SSID/password of your wifi network into your CC3220. When is your CC3220 properly provisioned, your device can communicate with other devices in your LAN/WLAN or in Internet. This mode is called station mode (STA). CC3220 can act as access point (AP mode) and allows to connect up to four stations (your notebook, cell phone, etc.). Finally can work CC3220 in transceiver mode and use it as transmitter/reviver at 2.4GHz with WiFi PHY layer.

    In CC3220 SDK are available demo codes. Also "default" out-of-box application have some basic functionality (similar as oob demo at CC3200).

    Hi,
    Great!
    How can I configure it to work in transceiver mode like you said?
    Thanks,

    Hi,

    Transceiver mode is not about configuration. It is about writing firmware with this functionality. Please see www.ti.com/.../swru455 at chapter 12.

    Nour -
    Also, Transceiver mode example is enabled inside the Network Terminal example, inside the SDK.
    see for example on your drive (after installation of the SDK) ==> file:///C:/ti/simplelink_cc32xx_sdk_1_60_00_04/examples/rtos/CC3220SF_LAUNCHXL/demos/network_terminal/README.html
