How can I wrtie flash image (program download) of the cc2511 on SmartRF05 rev. 1..8.1

 Hi,

I'm developing some application of CC2530 and CC2531 with ZDK smartRF05 rev. 1.8.1.

But one of smartRF05 evaluation board does not working, in my thought flash image (program) in flash of CC2511 USB controller may be cleared.

 

So how can I get  the flash image of CC2511 and how can I write it to that board.

 

Thanks,

 

 

  • Hi Tae Soon Kim,

    You can do that with the SmartRF Flash programmer.  It is free.   Where it says 'What do you want to program? select 'Program Evaluation Board.   The flash programmer comes with the SmartRF05EB firmware.

    http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/flash-programmer.html

    For example, on a typical installation, these files will be found here:

    C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\Extras\Srf05eb\srf05eb_fwid0500.hex

    Cheers,

  • Hi,

    When you connect the not working SmartRF05EB, does it appear the list of devices in either SmartRF Studio 7 or SmartRF Flash Programmer? If not, should try the following.

    1) Force the faulty SmartRF05EB into Recovery mode to see if the bootloader is working. The instructions for this can be found in section 10.1 of the SmartRF05EB User's guide, swru210. If the faulty SmartRF05EB now appears in the SmartRF Flash Programmer device list, you can program the SmartRF05EB FW directly over USB using the SmartRF Flash Programmer under the "EB Application (USB)" tab.

    2) If the SmartRF Flash Programmer doesn't recognize the faulty SmartRF05EB when it's in Recovery mode, follow the instructions in chapter 10.2 of the aforementioned document to program the bootloader onto the faulty SmartRF05EB. When the bootloader has been programmed onto the SmartRF05EB, you should be able to detect the board in SmartRF Flash Programmer, as mentioned under 1).

    You can get the latest SmartRF05EB firmware (bootloader and application) by installing the latest SmartRF Flash programmer (currently v1.10.2) and go to <install dir.>\SmartRF Tools\Firmware\SmartRF05EB.
