If you use Flash Programmer 2 with JTAG to download this binary, does it work?

I suppose you are using the www.ti.com/.../swra466a instructions along with the latest executable from www.ti.com/.../swra466a but you would have an easier time if you used Smart RF Flash Programmer 2: e2e.ti.com/.../614433

Otherwise make sure your hardware connections are as short and secure as possible, following Section 4.1 and the SmartRF06EB setup is recommended. There will also be a cc_rom_sbl tool released with the 3.0 Linux gateway.

Hello,

I have connected cc2538 with smart RF02 and tries to flash it using uart.
I have tried with sblAppEx windows application. and it is working fine with that. Does not seen any error till now.
Do you have written that application for linux platform ?
I want to do flashing with linux.

Please help me to resolve issue.

Hello Prerak,

I have sent you a friend request, upon your acceptance I will be able to send you a private message with a pre-release version of the cc-rom-sbl linux tool.
