CCS/CC3220SF: Comparison between CC3220SF and CC3200

Hi Jan,

Thanks for your comment.

I have played CC3200 Lanuchpad to learn Ti WiFi, and found there are some misleadings with the documents in CC3200 SDK, maybe the documents is too old.

My most concern is some bug with the new silicon, is it possible to get a Ti support engineer in Australia to contact with?

Sam

Hi Sam,

I am sorry, I am not able answer your question related to support at your country because I am not a TI employee. I working for a independent manufacturing company in Europe (Czech Republic) and I do not have any relationship with TI (except TI is our supplier).

General way is to contact your TI representative in your country and they will forward you to right technical person. But best (fastest) way to ask technical questions is this forum. At this forum is participating guys (should not forgot to Sarah) from SimpleLink WiFi App team and they will answer your questions. Also at this forums are participating other developers and you can get different perspective than is official way/approach.

I am using CC32xx devices for a long time, longer than many members of TI SimpleLink WiFi App team. I am using CC3200, CC3220 and CC3235 devices. If I can give you a suggestion do not waste of time with working with CC3200. You should go to CC3220 or CC3235 devices because are much better including better documentation. CC3200 is a past, but CC3220 and CC3235 are the future.

BTW ... CC3200 and CC3220 uses different SDK.

Jan

Thanks for the all the great words, Jan!

Hi Sam,

Since the CC3220 and CC3235 are our second and third generation devices, you will definitely see improvements versus the CC3200.

The CC3220 and CC3235 are part of the SimpleLink platform, which gives us a great software base and makes the application code portable across many devices with other wireless and wired technologies: ti.com/simplelink

We also introduced SimpleLink Academy, which is a training platform walking you through many of our features for easy development. I suggest checking out the Out of Box Experience for the technical overview and generation comparison: http://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=ANkGhhEkpfMuOBJ20Qo2Jw__fc2e6sr__LATEST

We do still support CC3200, so if you have any questions or need clarification, please ask.

Best regards,

Sarah

Hi Sarah,

This is new project, we will start with CC3220SF, and keep learning CC3200 SDK for Ti WiFi knowledge,

we will confident to do this project if Ti can provide good support. I did some research for WiFi chip, CC32XX is great!

WiFi Provisioning is critical feature for WiFi product, I'm struggling with CC3200 SimpleLink WiFi Provisioning mobile app.

We did some mobile apps by using Visual Studio Xamarin, the SimpleLink Wi-Fi Starter Pro app source code is in the Ti Website, 

what kind of software tool is it? Is it possible to migrate those source code to Visual Studio?

Regards

Sam

Hi Sam,

I have not worked with Visual Studio Xamarin, but it should be possible for you to port the Android or iOS app source assuming Xamarin has all the functionality of a typical Android or iOS app. Please check out our Provisioning for Mobile Applications app note for more details on the mobile side: http://www.ti.com/lit/swru472

Best regards,

Hi Sarah,

This document is useful, but I can't find "SimpleLink WiFi Provisioning mobile app" source code development tool in this document.

There are more than 20 kinds of development tools for mobile App, would you please contact Ti mobile App team to inquiry what kind of tool used?

I'll get the tool to study to source code, then migrate to Xamarin. 

Regards

Sam

Hi Sam,

If you click on the "app source" link in my last post, it will take you to ti.com/tool/wifistarterpro. The Android and iOS source projects are both available from the Get Software buttons. I believe these sources were developed in Android Studio and XCode.

Hi Sarah,

Just download the mobile Android project, there are some libraries, I believe "smartconfiglib2.jar" is Ti library.

If we use Visual Studio Xamarin to do the mobile coding,  can Ti provide those library for C programming?

Regards

Sam 

Hi Sam,

The smartconfig library is only provided as a .JAR file (or .a for iOS). From a quick search though, it looks like Xamarin has an option to bind a .JAR to use in your application: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/platform/binding-java-library/binding-a-jar

Best regards,

Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for your kindly reply.

"smartconfiglib2.jar" is Ti library, is there any document describing its functional calls?

or even can Ti provide the source code, this will be make it easy to trace the bugs.

Regards

Sam

Hi Sam,

Section 4.1 of the Provisioning for Mobile Applications app note covers the API usage for SmartConfig. SmartConfig is TI technology, so we do not share the source of the library.

Best regards,

Sarah
