cc3200 launchpad out of the box example doesn't work

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200, UNIFLASH, CC3200SDK, CC3100

Hi

I got my cc3200 launchpad and I tried to follow the steps of the first video posted here:

The thing is that D7 LED never blinks and wifi network is not created.

Even pressing reset button, nothing happens.

May somebody tell me the steps I should follow to restore the original firmware?

Thanks in advance,

Gonzalo

    Hi,

    You can load the out of box demo using Uniflash. But, first format your CC3200 Launchpad using settings 1 MB size, and secure and alert left unchecked.

    You can also try the out of box demo using CCS. But, follow the CC3200 Getting Started Guide before trying out the out of box demo.

    When I try to format, I select 1MB but the only checkbox I can see is "Secure" the other one does not appear.
    After format process, if I select D:\ti\CC3200SDK_1.0.0\cc3200-sdk\example\getting_started_with_wlan_station\ccs\Release\wlan_station.bin as mcuimg.bin, flash and set the jumper back to VCC-P58 then Led D7 blinks really fast and it does nothing more.

    Is that the .bin file I should flash?
    What may be wrong?

    Are you using Uniflash for SimpleLink?

    http://www.ti.com/tool/uniflash

    If you want to try the wlan_station example program, go through the CC3200 Getting Started Guide first.

    If you want to load out of box demo using Uniflash, format your CC3200 with Uniflash for Simplelink, with settings I have mentioned earlier. I also advice to load the latest service pack after that. 

    At Uniflash for Simplelink. load .ucf file for out of box demo which is located at "\cc3200-sdk\example\out_of_box\html". Then program your CC3200 with out of box demo Uniflash configuration.

    After that, If the out of box demo don't work with your smart phone, as you see in the video, then your smart phone wifi connectivity is not compatible with your CC3200 wifi.

    There is a post about that in the forum, search for that post to get the details.

    Thanks, I found the example named "out of box" and I was trying using ucf instead of selecting only .bin directly.
    It worked!!

    But regarding uniflash, I am using Uniflash for SimpleLink CC3100 and CC3200, Version: 3.2.0.00120. It shows only the checkbox I told.
    Maybe the last version is like that.

    Thanks
