Testers will be selected on the basis of quality of applications: we expect a full and complete description of why you want to test these particular products.
Testers are required to produce a full, comprehensive and well thought out review within 2 months of receipt of the products.
Failure to provide this review within the above timescale will result in the enrolee being excluded from future Road Tests.
That is the approach I would take. I got two road tests on the same day applied for them weeks apart so just trying to make a game plan on how to get everything done in the right amount of time as well as update my CC3100 code for the new firmware and enable it to work on the CC3200. So with all that it may take me a week or so to actually get down to posting useful comments on E14.
That being said I have looked at this road test a bit and I cant seem to find a quick easy way to get started with it, could not find demo code to run in CCS, if you could point me in the correct direction that would definitely help me get started with this road test sooner and help me start posting useful comments here sooner too.
Well, I did try out the CCS6 thingy and nop it doesn't work !! It compiles and even burns the code but it doesnt debug !! that's actually strange..
I did had an copy of ccs5 installed earlier for an earlier Roadtest, but It seams that i forgot to install the C2000 Support . and I also forgot to download the GUI .
Further, I am kinna busy till 14th Oct, some deadlines , so i have stopped playing with the kit for now !! may be will do so after 14th . It's 2AM here, do i guess i should go to bed now will post my findings !
