LAUNCHXL-CC3235SF: CC3235SF-LAUNCHXL : Wifi Scan : How to scan 5Ghz networks available in air

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC3235SF
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, CC3235SF

I am trying to use network terminal example. In that, we are using the scan for 5Ghz.
I tried scan command but that responds only with network at 2.4Ghz frequency.

What is the command to scan 5Ghz networks in air ?

Do we have to follow any different  procedure ?

is there any jumper settings or GPIO control which will switch the mode between 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz ?

is there any single command/procedure  to do the both scan 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz ?

  • Sagar,

    Are what SDK are you using? Are you flashing the device in RadioTool?

    Under Advanced/System Settings/Device/Radio Settings there is an enable 5 GHz support option. Make sure that is enabled. It should be enabled by default.

  • Hi Vincent,

    Thanks for the quick response.

    So, I downloaded the latest service pack. I used uniflash to update the service pack in CC3235SF-LAUNCHXL kit.         

    File from the Location given "C:\ti\simplelink_cc32xx_sdk_3_10_00_04\tools\cc32xx_tools\servicepack-cc3x35"

    Yes, checked the radio option. Enabled it. working now.

     

    Now, we are testing radio tool, There are some errors in it.

    Radio tool is unable to get the device details.

    Rx_Test failed. 
    Current Test failed.


    Logs of tool are attached & also snapshot with error on tool.

  • Hi,

    You you have Radio tool image inside your device? For function of radio tools is mandatory to be uploaded "special" firmware inside CC32xx devices.

  • Hi Jan,

    Thanks for quick response.

    I  did not know that.

    I am trying device images i.e. "C:\ti\CC3xxx_RadioTool_1.0.3.7\Device Images\CC3235SF Images\Programming.sli" .

    is this the correct one ?

    but there is still the issue.

    Also following this, http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC3100_%26_CC3200_Radio_Tool#Flashing_the_board

    but nothing is given regarding which image to be programmed.

  • Hi,

    Yes it should be proper one. Please read www.ti.com/.../getliterature.tsp at chapter 6. Additional option may to be use Uniflash software (v 4.2 and higher). Make sure also that you have selected proper COM port.

  • That might be the issue.
    Let me check that & will get back to you. This may take some time, at my end.
  • Sagar,

    Are you still having issues with this problem?

    BR,

  • Thanks . That resolved my issue.
