CC3100: XC3100HZ last SDK release supporting it.

Part Number: CC3100
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Hi all,

1. I would like to know what is the last release of CC3100 SDK to support XC3100HZ preproduction chip, is really SDK v. 1.1.0?

2. I would like to know if I can install more releases of CC3100 SDK so I may support XC3100HZ with 1.1.0 and CC3100 with 1.3.0 release.

3. Is there any possibility to partially "update" CC3100 SDK v. 1.1.0 to support MQTT as implemented in v. 1.3.0?

If I can not install both releases on the same PC I think to manage the situation using a couple of VirtualBox VM.

  • Hi Massimo,

    1. The pre-production chip releases were only supported until the production worthy device was introduced.
    2. You can install multiple instances of the SDK.
    3. It should be possible as MQTT is supported on the host side and probably requires just the basic NWP services (TCP socket) with APIs that were not changed dramatically between the releases. However we can't support such porting.

  • Thanks Kobi.

    Have I to put any care to be able to use the different insances of SDK?

    I mean I need to support some pre-production boards and producion boards.

    Actually I am installing CCS v. 8 and uniflash in a dedicated VirtualBox VM. After that I would have a good installation of everything needed to work with CC3100/3200/3120/3220 on the same VM.

    I have no so many boards in the field mounting pre-production chips but as you may imagine I have to support them.

    MQTT: no problem, I can manage the port. I saw it solves a pair of issues useful for my application.

    Kind regards,

    Massimo

  • Hi Massimo,

    Yes, that is correct, latest supported SDK version for pre-production devices is 1.1.0. Pre-production devices should not be used in the field, cause are affected by security threats (vulnerable to KRAK attack).

    But generally you should not expect any issue with usage both SDK versions simultaneously. You should only care about proper linking paths during building your project.

  • OK, perfect, thanks Jan.
