CC3220S-LAUNCHXL: Uniflash will no longer connect to board after upgrading simplelink sdk and code composer studio

Christopher Cereske

Part Number: CC3220S-LAUNCHXL
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2640, UNIFLASH,

Hello

We are using Code Composer Studio and Uniflash along with CC3220S-LAUNCHXL and CC2640R2-LAUNCHXL boards to debug and flash our device, which has a cc3220 and cc2640 on it. Up until this point, we have been successful using these tools to debug and develop for the device. Using Uniflash to connect to the device, and CCS to debug code on our device. However, we recently tried to upgrade our tools as follows:

CC3220 Simplelink SDK: v2.40.01 -> v2.40.02
Code Composer Studio v8.3 -> v9.0
Uniflash v4.5 -> v4.6

Now, we are unable to connect to our device using Uniflash with the CC3220S-LAUNCHXL. Running code on the device with the CCS debugger still works fine, and Uniflash successfully auto-detects the launchpad, but connecting fails every time. Every time, we receive a read timeout error.

We have tried rolling back all of the tools, but are still unable to connect. We tried with multiple CC3220S-LAUNCHXL boards, and multiple of our devices, but are still unable to connect successfully. We returned the launchpads' pin configurations to the default layout and tried to flash the on-launchpad cc3220. Only one of the launchpads was able to connect successfully.

We have reset our environment back to it's previous state before these changes. However, the boards, and devices we used with the upgraded tools will no longer connect. We have been unable to solve the problem after several days of trying. Our best guess is that the launchpads or our devices are in an unknown state that is causing errors, but we are unable to verify this without connecting to uniflash.

This is currently blocking our development, and nny help would be much appreciated.

Thank You,

Christopher Cereske

Hi Christopher,

The UniFlash tool is not linked to the SDK or CCS in any way (they only provide the generated binary and servicepack for flashing), so they would not affect whether you're able to auto-detect the LaunchPad.

A few things to try:

1. If you haven't already restarted your computer since installing new software versions, please do so.

2. Be sure the SOP pins are set to 100 or 010. I've also added the default jumper configuration below.

3. Try to remove all other USB connections from your laptop besides the LaunchPad. Sometimes we find USB hubs don't work very well (it takes too long to get responses from the LaunchPad). You should also try a new USB cable and different USB port.

4. If the auto detection continues to fail, you can set the COM port manually using the command line. See the Command Line section of the ImageCreator User's Guide for more details.

dslite.bat --mode cc32xx project program --name PROJECT_NAME --port COM_NUM

Best regards,

Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for the fast response. The issue is not auto-detecting the board. Auto-detect works fune, but when we try to connect to the board, we always get a timeout error as shown below:

We have tried all of the steps you mentioned with no success. I have attached the output of the dslite script below:

./dslite.sh --mode cc32xx project program --name pro-3199b6e --port /dev/tty.usbmodemE00810101
Executing the following command:
> ./SLImageCreator project program --name pro-3199b6e --port /dev/tty.usbmodemE00810101

Hi Christopher,

It looks like you're using Mac OS. What version is it?

Can you also run the following command and provide the output?

./dslite.sh --mode cc32xx project program --name pro-3199b6e

Best regards,

Sarah

Thanks Christopher, I'm relaying this back to the tools team. What OS version are you using on your Mac?

Best regards,
Sarah

We are using MacOS version: 10.14.3

In addition, we have tried on both Mac and Windows machines, and we have rolled our uniflash version back to v4.5.

We just tried on a freshly installed macOS version 10.13.6 with Uniflash 4.6 with no luck yet.
