Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650STK, CC2650

After I connect CC-DEVPACK-DEBUG to CC2650STK and open SmartRF Flash Programmer 2, I only see the following results on SmartRF Flash Programmer 2.

I had press "Refresh" button and nothing changes. My question is how to use CC-DEVPACK-DEBUG and SmartRF Flash Programmer 2 to download FW to CC2650STK?

Please update to SmartRF Programmer 2 to version 1.6.0 to get the XDS110 emulator drivers. I then found that I needed to connect the devpack to my PC without connecting the SensorTag, when I hit "Refresh" the XDS110 emulator was found, I then connected the Sensor Tag and the CC2650 was found. I could then program the Sensor Tag successfully.

YK, I just learned that if the SensorTag has a battery connected you do not need to connect it after powering the debug devpack.

But, why do we have to connect the devpack to my PC without connecting the SensorTag? Is there any alternative that we don't have to do this?

After I put battery in SensorTag, I don't needed to connect the devpack to my PC without connecting the SensorTag first.

YK,
We are working on a HW fix so that the SensorTag can be powered by the devPack during debug. But for now the battery must be fitted.
