Linux/CC3200: controlling cc3200 from Am335x

Part Number: CC3200
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3100, CC3220SF

Tool/software: Linux

Hey Team !

I want a to control the cc3200 module connected to my processor using spi/uart/i2c . How can i create a interface(wlan,spi,uart,i2c) any interface to control the module from the Am335x device .Is there any prebuilt driver available in linux to control the module or any example code available with cc3200 to make the configuration like above.

with regards

pranav

  • Hi pranav,

    - CC3200 devices are WiFi devices integrating NWP (network processor) + application processor (Cortex-M4). Into application processor you create own code. This code can control WiFi and also other peripheral (UART, SPI, I2C). Features which you integrate into application processor, you will have it. From this reason question to linux driver for CC3200 is not relevant.
    - If you want use only "WiFi radio device" you should select CC3100 devices. CC3100 does not contain application processor and is controlled by SimpleLink driver. This driver need to be ported to your platform. Linux is not officially supported by CC3100 device, but exist some 3rd party code ( github.com/.../cc3100-linux ).

    Also I want mentioned that for 2nd generation devices (CC3220) exists application which allows to use CC3220 with AT commands ( www.ti.com/.../swru534a.pdf ).

  • Hey jan ,

    Thanx for the response but in my sdk there is no example code for AT interface can you provide a reference stack for that .

  • Hi Pranav,

    AT application is at CC3220 SDK ( \examples\rtos\CC3220SF_LAUNCHXL\demos\at_commands\ ). This SDK is for CC3220 devices not for CC3200.
