Problems talking to CC3200 Launchpad with Energia

Former Member

I've spent several hours trying to communicate with the above controller using Energia but without success. I'm really hoping someone will take pity on me and offer some ideas!

 

The problem I think is with the drivers, or lack of them. I downloaded the driver zip as recommended by Github (EZ430-UART.zip) and unzipped them. If I plug the CC3200 into the USB port Windows tries to install the drivers but when I direct the driver installation wizard to the unzipped files it seems to think they are not relevant and so fails. If I open Device Manager then the CC3200 is showing up as USB<->JTAG/SWD but with a query over it as there are no installed drivers. I wonder if that is telling me something, I would have thought I really needed a COM link not a JTAG link (?). I've tried this on a 32 bit machine and a 64 bit machine - same results.

 

I have a project waiting to go online using WiFi and this is really frustrating. I get the feeling it's something quite simple but I can't seem to see it. I've checked all the PCB links against the TI User Guide and can't see any problem.

    Excellent stuff. Glad you got sorted. I see from link you provided on this issue that there is a new Energia patch to handle your launchpad's new bootloader version 4: http://energia.nu/files/cc3200prog_win.zip

    @BigG : After "erasing 12 blocks starting from 0" the uploading process stops and Energia gives the message "Uploading failed".

    Anyway, I followed the suggestion from this page https://github.com/energia/Energia/issues/507 and now I have no problem uploading sketches. The main problem was the version of the Launchpad I got, which is version 4.1.

    You are missing some vital lines of information. What happens after "erasing 12 blocks starting...."

    @BigG: Hi, I had a similar problem than Geo Meadows, and followed all the suggestions that had been proposed but no success.

    The error that Energia gives when uploading the sketch is the following:

     

    Opening \\.\COM26

    Getting storage list

    Bootloader Version: 4

    Silicon version ES1.32

    Bootloader version is 2, 1, 4, 0

    It's a CC3101 device: PG1.32

    BlockSize is 4096, number of blocks is 64

    erasing 1 blocks starting from  4

    Switch to NWP bootloader complete

    Silicon version ES1.32

    Bootloader version is 2, 0, 4, 0

    BlockSize is 4096, number of blocks is 16

    erasing 12 blocks starting from  0

     

    Also, I installed CCS and all the required drivers and SDK to run some code in the CC3200 module, and I didn't have any problem using CCS.

     

    Any suggestion to fix the problem I am facing?

     

    Thanks a lot in advance.
