CCS6.2 with BLE Stack 2.2 Example Project

So i started again by following this work arround know issue:

Known Issues / Workarounds for BLEv2.2.0  

I also change the compiler to version TI v15.12.3.LTS and got this error messages still:

I had no issues doing SimplePeripheral on both Sensortag and Launchpad - I'll try some other examples. Also one thing to note is that I didn't have to apply the patch to CCS 6.2 to flash/debug. (I used the webinstaller and downloaded CCS 6.2)

In regards to your errors, did you try changing the target board? It looks like CCS may have included the linker command file twice. Check this by right clicking on your project and looking at General. Under Advanced settings, clear the field for Linker Command File, it's automatically included; you don't need to have that field populated.

I'll give the sensortag project a shot in a bit, *EDIT* Just tried, and it's fully functional - Can you tell me what version of the CC26xx Device Support is listed on your CCS 6.2? (Help -> About -> Installation Details)

Hi Rebel,

i have the CC26XX Device Support version 2.0.1.00 installed. The target board arent changed and the linker command file is empty. So there is only one linker and not twice on the project.
Are the examples you tryied from the BLE Stack 2.2?

Did you import it manually to CCS? On Resource explorer i have also examples but from older stack and they all work too like this one:

Bu i want to use the project examples from BLE Stack 2.2 from here:

Hi Rebel,

i downloaded as zip file and my OS is Windows 10.

Did you import it manually and did the work around too?

Which workaround have you done?

Did you imported as copy to your workspace?

I will uninstall it and install with the webinstaller and install BLE Stack 2.2 again.

Hey Michael,
Just did both - during my CCS installation I chose to only install Simplelink and MSP stuff. I didn't install any of the App Center stuff (MSPWare, etc)
Only few changes I had to make were to make sure that CCS found TI RTOS. (I wanted to have as clean a start as possible and just deleted my TI folder) - not sure why it didn't pick it up automatically. (Window-> Preferences -> Code Composer Studio -> Products and clicked Rediscover)
Other than that - I did change the build for the sensortag to be FlashOnly(edit* Flash_ROM)instead of OAD. (I had done that for the previous builds, but failed to mention it) Also I had to exclude sensortag_oad.c/.h from build.
Everything still works on my end - there has to be something we're missing here

Hi Rebel,

so i delete TI folder now and install CCS 6.2 version 50 again and choose simple link to install.

I install BLE Stack 2.2 again and import the project into workspace but didnt copy it.

First thing it gave me a warning that the project was created with compiler TI v5.2.6  and it is not installed, it will build with TI 15.12.3.LTS compiler instead.

And this warning:

Description Resource Path Location Type
Invalid project path: Duplicate path entries found (/sensortag_cc2650stk_app [Include path] isSystemInclude:true includePath:C:/ti/tirtos_cc13xx_cc26xx_2_18_00_03/products/tidrivers_cc13xx_cc26xx_2_16_01_13/packages), path: [/sensortag_cc2650stk_app]. sensortag_cc2650stk_app pathentry Path Entry Problem

On configuration -> build i have only two options "Flash_Only_OAD" or "Flash_ROM". 

So i went and build the project and it gave me no error except those two warnings.

Now i did try to flash my sensortag with app and stack and it gave me for both this error:

Cortex_M3_0: GEL Output: Memory Map Initialization Complete.
Cortex_M3_0: GEL Output: Board Reset Complete.
Cortex_M3_0: Trouble Halting Target CPU: (Error -2062 @ 0x0) Unable to halt device. Reset the device, and retry the operation. If error persists, confirm configuration, power-cycle the board, and/or try more reliable JTAG settings (e.g. lower TCLK). (Emulation package 6.0.407.6)

And this message:

Looks like the flash XDS110 debugger is not working on CCS 6.2 version 50.  I used Flash programmer 2 to flash stack and app .hex files and that worked.

Which compiler do you used ?

Did you use Windows 10 or 7 in this time?

Michael,

The last go was done with Windows 7 - and I actually installed v5.2.6 from the directions in the guide. (Shouldn't matter though)

Give it one last shot: deleted ti folder -> installed CCS6.2 -> Installed SDK (+RTOS + XDS tools) -> Manually installed TI ARM 5.2.6 -> Manually Imported SensorTag example -> Changed Build Config to FlashROM -> Excluded sensortag_oad.c -> debug+build stack and app

It worked just fine. My guess here is that there's something going on with old XDS settings persisting between installs. (Because I noticed that every time I open up my old workspace, I'd need to rediscover my newly installed RTOS + XDS tools to properly build)

Either way, I don't believe this is an issue with the Stack Examples - I believe this issue is related to the xdstools and is more appropriate for their forum (e2e.ti.com/.../355

Hi Rebel,

where can i download TI ARM 5.2.6 compiler?

I did everthing you did but still the same errors. Have you try on windows 10?

Hi Michael,

Section 2.6.3.2 of the Software Developer's Guide has the procedure for this. (And pictures!)

In regards to the errors, I still see the same errors you do - only difference between the compiler version I observed was that in the newer compiler versions will need the stack limit adjusted. This doesn't occur in the Recommended compiler. Other than that, the examples work as they are supposed to. (From SLA)

*Edit - And I currently don't have access to a windows 10 Machine to test on at the moment! Sorry

Hi Michael, I saw your post in the "BLE-STACK V2.2.0 is now available with full BT4.2 support!"-thread.

The compiler is not located under Arm Compiler Tool Update. To install TI ARM version 5.2.6 in CCS, press Help/Install New Software. Work with: Code Generation Tools Updates and uncheck the "Show only the latest versions of available software" - box.
