Original question:

CC3120BOOST: Connecting CC3120BOOST with MSP432P401R and getting started with Wifi

CCS/CC3120BOOST: Connecting CC3120BOOST with Delfino79D Board

Part Number: CC3120BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SIMPLELINK-SDK-WIFI-PLUGIN, CC3120, CC3220SF, CC3235S

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I want to make a project where I connect the CC3120BOOST to the Delfino79D board. From your documentations, you mentioned that we cannot create a new project when using the NWP, we must import one of the examples and make the changes for the desired application. For the CC3120BOOST, there are only examples for MSP MCUs. So, when I import one of those examples and change the porting to the Delfino's, I will have the issue that the project is already created for the MSP family, not the C2000 family which cannot be modified. What is the solution in this case?

    Hi,

    In case you want use CC3120 with platform which is not officially supported by the SIMPLELINK-SDK-WIFI-PLUGIN, you need to port SimpleLink driver to your target platform. This porting is about writing SPI low-level driver for your platform and create synchronisation/lock objects for your platform (RTOS or non-RTOS implementation). Brief description to driver porting you find at swru455 chapter 19.

    I have a problem creating new project when i create a new one, and call the sl_start the function does not return but when I import one of your projects, it works fine and that applies to cc3220sf and cc3235s. So, i assume this will happen with the delphino as well

    Hi,

    btw ... I am not a TI employee, from this reason it is not my project.

    No, definitely not. Your approach cannot work. You need to port SimpleLink driver to your host platform. Be aware that CC3220/CC3235 have this low level driver available in SDK. But for Delphino is not "ported" driver available and you need done this job by yourself.

    I know that I need to port the SimpleLink driver to my host platform. but my question was about the issue of creating a new project, not porting. When I tried to create a new project for a WiFi application on CC3220SF and CC3235S, the code gets stuck in the sl_start, but when I import one of the TI examples with the same exact code, the code works fine and it does not get stuck n the sl_start function. That's why my issue is creating a new project that will use a wifi application

    Hi,

    You should follow official recommended procedure with re-using SDK examples for your project in case of you are using one of supported platform by CC32xx SDK or the Wifi-Plugin. Your attempts to create project from the scratch is not reasonable approach and you are wasting of time only.

    Your question at this thread was about using Delfino with CC3120 devices. Not about using CC3220 devices. If case you want to use unsupported MCU, you need to follow chapter 19 of  swru455.

    in order to reuse one of the SDK examples of the plugin, I will import the project so it will be imported and the device is selected already and I cannot change the target device that's the problem. But I will check chapter 19 and see if this creating project issue will be solved.

    Thank you very much

    Nada,

    You won't be able to run an example based on a specific device (CC32xx), and make it work on a completely different device by changing the project options in CCS. You will want to start from scratch from a Delphino example, and port the host driver to utilize the SPI interface to communicate to a CC31xx device.

    I have a problem now in linking the nortos dpl with the delphino79D as such layer does not exist. I have made all the porting and written all the interface functions and now I have a problem with the nortos dpl layer. How can I solve this issue to be able to make CC3120 work with delfino79D?

    Hi Nada,

    We don't offer a port for that platform, so you unfortunately we can't offer much help on the port.
