Arrow IoT Seminar - CC3200 Tools Setup 1 - 1
CC3200 Tools Setup
Introduction
There are two main sections to this lab:
1. Pre-work to be completed prior to the seminar.
2. Final lab steps to install the CC3200 LaunchPad driver.
The pre-work includes downloading and installing several software packages from the Texas
Instruments website. It also includes the steps to import and build some Code Composer Studio
projects that are needed for the CC3200 software examples in the Software Development Kit
(SDK).
The final steps of the lab require you to plug in a CC3200 LaunchPad board. Since you will
receive this board at the seminar, this section of the lab will be performed at the seminar.
Timing
The pre-work for this lab should take from 45-60 minutes to complete, depending on the speed of
your internet connection. The final steps at the workshop should take only 5-10 minutes, once
you receive your CC3200 LaunchPad board.
Prerequisites
To run these labs you will need a Microsoft® Windows® 7 laptop with a good internet connection.
Optional: Android or iOS smartphone to install SimpleLink Wi-Fi Starter application

CC3200 Software Development Kit (SDK)
Arrow IoT Seminar - CC3200 Tools Setup 1 - 3
CC3200 Software Development Kit (SDK)
1. Download the CC3200 SDK version 0.5.2. The seminar labs are built with the version of
the SDK. There may be later versions available, but this is the version you will need for
the seminar.
► Go to:
http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/forms/self_cert_export.html?prod_no=CC3200SDK-0.5.2-
windows-installer.exe&ref_url=http://software-dl.ti.com/ecs/cc31xx/sdk/cc3200_sdk_v0_5_2
► You must fill in the U.S. Government export approval fields to download this software. This
will be the same procedure for several of the software packages you will need.
2. Install the CC3200 SDK
► Run the installer and choose the default installation folder c:\ti\CC3200SDK
Note: ► If you already have the CC3200 SDK installed, this installer will over-write your current
installation. If you have made any edits/additions to the SDK files, you should re-name
your current installation folder.

SimpleLink Wi-Fi Starter Application
1 - 4 Arrow IoT Seminar - CC3200 Tools Setup
SimpleLink Wi-Fi Starter Application
If you have an Android or iOS device, download and install the “SimpleLink Wi-Fi Starter
Application” from the App Store or Google Play. This application allows you to configure the
CC3200s Wi-Fi network information for the first time, using Smart Config (the first tab). A second
tab shows you a list of devices that are connected to the Wi-Fi network. A third tab lets you set
options to show or hide device information.
3. Download and install the application to your Android or iOS Device
► Using your Android or iOS device browser, go to http://www.ti.com/tool/wifistarter and click
on the appropriate download link (App Store or Google Play)
Note that you can also download the source code for either application from this page but you
won’t need that for the seminar.

► For the Android app you will see this. Click on the INSTALL button to install.
.
► For the iOS app you will see this. Click on the INSTALL button to install. Note: In this
screenshot, the app was already installed, so you see the OPEN button instead.

Install Arrow IoT Seminar Files

4. Download the Arrow IoT Seminar Installer
► Go to http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Arrow_IoT_Seminar_2014 and click on the
Arrow IoT Seminar Installer download link.
5. Run the Arrow IoT Seminar Installer
► Run the installer and choose the default installation folder c:\Arrow_IoT_Seminar
This will install the project files we’ll use in the seminar, along with some documentation files.

Install Code Composer Studio (CCS)
Arrow IoT Seminar - CC3200 Tools Setup 1 - 7
Install Code Composer Studio (CCS)
6. Download Code Composer Studio (CCS) version 6.0.1.00040 or later
► Go to http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:Code_Composer_Studio_v6 and
click on the Windows Download link.
7. Install CCS
► Run the installer program and when prompted for Processor Support, select “SimpleLink
Wireless MCUs”. For the remaining options, select the default values. You should also
temporarily turn off your anti-virus software for this installation. The installation time is
typically 20 minutes, but can vary based on internet connection speed. If you are using
additional processors you can install those as well.
Hint: If you previously installed CCS version 6.0.1.00040 (or later) and you do NOT yet
have SimpleLink Wireless MCUs support installed, you have two choices:
1. We recommend that you re-install CCS. You can just delete or rename the
c:\ti\ccsv6 folder, and then re-install CCS with the processor support you need,
including the Wireless Connectivity MCUs. This has the advantage of giving you a
clean installation, and might be more reliable than the next option.
2. You can keep your current installation, and just install the Wireless Connectivity
MCU support on top of your existing CCS. With CCS v6, this seems to work in most
cases. You can’t remove existing installed processor support very easily, but it is
possible to add new support. Simply run the installer and check the box for Wireless
Connectivity MCUs.
NOTE:
This is the only processor
support used in the seminar,
although you can choose
others if you need them.
You can also install other
processors later if needed.

Install Code Composer Studio (CCS)
1 - 8 Arrow IoT Seminar - CC3200 Tools Setup
Note: The link we showed in the previous step is for the “online” installer. If you have any
problems installing using this link, you can try downloading a zip file of the full “Off-line”
installer from:
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS#Code_Composer_Studio_Version_6_Downloads.
Should you decide to download this zip file, you should un-zip the file to a folder before
running the installer.
