TI RTOS SimpleLink 2.13.00.06 released - BLE stack porting guide

.

While building Application project:

Warning[Pe223]: function "ROM_VIMSModeGet" declared implicitly G:\TI\simplelink\ble_cc26xx_2_00_00_42893\Projects\ble\Profiles\OAD\CC26xxST\oad_target_externalFlash.c 518

Thanks for finding this. I have attached a patch in the original post for the BLE stack showing all changes needed for the SimpleBLEPeripheral and SensorTag project.

Svend,

I'm having a hard time programming the device with this new build.  Everything seems to be building and linking but my XDC and JTAG programmer fail to work.  I have verified this by going back to my old simplelink and everything works fine.  

When i try to use the JTAG programmer, it will successfully download the stack but will fail on the app

When i try to use the XDS i get the following error:

Svend,

I was using my own ccfg.c file so I went back to using the default and that allowed it to flash.  I'm having some reliability issues though when it comes to flashing it yet.  It seems like after i flash it once from the new project it tends to lock up the CC2640 device, any thoughts on why that is?  

I'm getting the following error

Any thoughts on why that might be

Hi, Svend,

I'm using SmartRF06 connecting to SensorTag.

I followed the patch to build the SensorTag project.

But my problem after download keeps the same as before I updated the TI RTOS.

Can you help? Thank you very much.

BR,

Webb

Warning: __vector_table symbol not found. e_entry value: 0x0000F000 does not match reset vector value: 0xFFFFFFFE Initial SP_main value:0xFFFFFFFF uncertain.

Warning: Stack pointer is setup to incorrect alignment. Stack addr = 0xFFFFFFFF

There were 2 warnings during the initialization of the debugging session.

Could not go to 'main'.

Svend,

I'm now using IAR 7.40 with the xds programmer and am still having the same problem when downloading or debugging the board with the new drivers

It all seems to program once with the XDS programmer in IAR but when i try the second time I get "Fatal error: Failed to halt the bootloader" It can still be recognized by the Programmer 2 and be force massed erased successfully. 

Any thoughts?

Ryan

Svend,

Do you have a short list of what additional features will be included?  

Does TI plan to support a BLE Mesh Topology?

CCS

Placeholder text

Hello,

I tried porting this on CCS. I was able to get it to build (but i did not thoroughly test it). This is what I did.

NOTE - I used version 2.13.01.09, hence my paths reference 2.13.01.09 instead of 2.13.00.06. Simply replace 2.13.01.09 with 2.13.00.06 in the below paths where referenced if you wish to use that version:

---

Go to the Project Properties (right-click on project in 'Project Explorer' and select 'Properties' in the context menu) and update the following:

Build variables (Under ‘Build->Variables (tab)’ – note need to enable ”Show system variables” checkbox at the bottom” ):
TI_RTOS_DRIVERS_BASE=C:/ti/tirtos_simplelink_2_13_01_09/packages (only needed for Application project)
CC26XXWARE=C:/ti/tirtos_simplelink_2_13_01_09/products/cc26xxware_2_21_01_15600

Linked Resource Path Variable (Under ‘Resource -> Linked Resource -> Path Variables (tab)’)
TI_RTOS_DRIVERS_BASE=C:\ti\tirtos_simplelink_2_13_01_09\packages (only needed for Application project)
CC26XXWARE=C:\ti\tirtos_simplelink_2_13_01_09\products\cc26xxware_2_21_01_15600

Application project only: Modify –xdcpath list (under ‘Build -> XDCtools -> Package Repositories’) so that:
${COM_TI_RTSC_TIRTOSSIMPLELINK_INSTALL_DIR}/products/bios_6_42_00_08/packages

Application project only: Under ‘General -> RTSC’
XDCtools version: 3.31.1.33_core
TI-RTOS for SimpleLink Wireless MCUs to version 2.13.1.09

Application project

In the 'Project Explorer' view:

Open appBLE.cfg (right-click on file and select 'Open With -> Text Editor' in the context menu) and remove line 124:  ‘Boot.checkBackdoor = true;

In Windows Explorer (or whatever system file browser):

Browse to the following folder: C:\ti\simplelink\ble_cc26xx_2_00_00_42893\Projects\ble\SimpleBLEPeripheral\CC26xx\CCS\Config and delete the 'src' folder inside

Stack project

Same as mentioned previous:

Stack project

• Open pwrmon.c, found in project under HAL->Target->CC2650->Drivers
  • Comment out function PWRMON_init (currently unused)
• Re-build project

Hope this helps

Hi, I've been trying to get the simpleBLEbroadcaster app to compile, the stack compiles but I'm getting errors with the app project.  

I've followed the above steps, which got me as far as having the stack compile but the app still doesn't, attached is my build output, can you see anything in there which might help?

Hi All ,

We got cc2650-stk board recently , i am trying to create my own project ( Stack and Application) using code composer studio (we have ccs6.1) . I am unable to get userguide for this . can you please suggest on this . The BLE software guide explains how to port cc2541-ti-stack1.4.0 to ti-stack2.0 , but we want to use ccs.

Hi Ki, 

Thanks very much for your sharing. However, I met some errors after modification under your steps. Have you met similar problems?

Many thanks 

Shilong

That did the trick. Thank you very much.
