CC3220S-LAUNCHXL: Turning off Network Applications through an OTA Update

Part Number: CC3220S-LAUNCHXL
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Are we able to turn off Network Applications such has DNS, DHCP, etc. when we generate an OTA update or does this only work when flashing over the serial flash or a gang image?  It isn't clear to me how this information gets communicated to the CPU.

Thanks

  • Hi,

    You can turn off the netapps in software using the sl_NetAppStart()/sl_NetAppStop() APIs. You don't necessarily have to perform an OTA update to turn off a given network application, since you can just call those APIs from within the application upon getting an input such as a button press, UART command, etc.. You are not limited using Uniflash to turn those applications on/off.

    Let me know if you have further questions.

    Regards,
    Michael
  • Hi Michael,

    Thank you for the prompt reply. In this case I want to turn it off through uniflash. I don't want code always turning off a network application every time it boots up to save on flash write cycles in the new firmware update.
