Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3100, CC31XXEMUBOOST, UNIFLASH,
Dear all,
My name is Apostolos.
we run a small company in Greece. We are designing and programming prototypes.
Now we are testing the CC3100 as our WiFi solution and we plan to use it in our products. For our tests we are using an STM32F4 ARM mcu from ST and the porting has been successfully completed.
Now we are working on the main functionality.
In the case of a web server we need to transfer files in the serial flash memory to serve http requests.
After a little search I found that there are two ways for transferring files to the serial flash.
- by using the cc31xxEMUBOOST in combination with uniFlash software
- by using the fs API from simplelink
In order to test the 1st way I have already ordered a board to work with my cc3100 modBoost board. The procedure looks easy.
I have also tried to transfer files from an http server and write them to the serial flash, but the 1536 bytes limit of the sockets' buffer caused problems in transferring the files properly in order to save them.
As mentioned above, as a company we are planning to use this module in production.
The first question is how do we transfer the files in the module (cc3100mod) when it is embedded on our PCB and the production quantity demands automated ways?
Do we have to connect the cc31xxEMUBOOST in every single PCB with specials pins in order to download the files or there is an other easier solution?
Thank you in advance
Apostolos
