CC2541: Assistance Required for Programming CC2451 Controller

Part Number: CC2541
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH,

Tool/software:

Dear TI Support Team,  

I hope this message finds you well.  

I am currently working with the CC2451 controller but have encountered an issue. This controller is not being recognized or listed in Code Composer Studio or UniFlash. I would like to request your guidance on the following:  

1. How can I set up the development environment for the CC2451?  

2. Are there specific tools, software, or steps required to program this controller?  

3. Any related documentation or resources that could help me proceed further.  

Your assistance in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if additional information is required from my end.  

Thank you for your support.  

Best regards,  

Ankush

  • Hello Ankush,

    I hope you are doing well. 

    This controller is not being recognized or listed in Code Composer Studio or UniFlash. I would like to request your guidance on the following:  

    -CC2451 is currently not supported on CCS eclipse/theia, and is not supported on UniFlash nor is there any plan that I am aware of to support them either.

    1. How can I set up the development environment for the CC2451?  

    2. Are there specific tools, software, or steps required to program this controller?  

    3. Any related documentation or resources that could help me proceed further.  

    1. For the CC2451 we need to use IAR instead of CCS to develop the program for the device.

    2. SmartRF flash programmer (software) and CC debugger (hardware) are needed.

    3. CC2541 data sheet, product information and support | TI.com look at the software development and hardware develop section.

    Thanks,

  • HI Alex Fager,

                 I checked in IAR also but this controller is not being recognized or listed for this attached one screenshot also.

                 so please let me how to develop the program for the device.

  • Hello Ankush,

    - You will need to use the CC-DEBUGGER Debug probe | TI.com as XDS110 is not supported on the CC2541, and follow the following guide for help flashing the device, SmartRF Flash Programmer User Manual (Rev. G)

    so please let me how to develop the program for the device.

    - When installing IAR you need a version of IAR that specifically supports the CC2541 device, and a set of examples to migrate from too I think; I needed to get IAR 8051 10.40.1, and the examples to migrate from are found on the CC2541 software support page (unzip the files, import them into the IAR workspace and migrate them when IAR asks you to). 

    Thanks,
