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)
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.

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.

Import and Build Four Essential CCS Projects
The CC3200 SDK contains four projects that you need to import and build:
•simplelink – creates an object library for SimpleLink APIs
•driverlib – creates an object library for CC3200 peripheral drivers
•oslib – creates the OS adaptation layer library
•ti_rtos_config – contains a common TI-RTOS configuration file
It is necessary to build these projects since the libraries and shared TI-RTOS configuration file
are used by the CC3200 SDK example projects.
9. Import the four projects
► Choose Projects>Import CCS Projects from the Project menu.
► Select the Browse button in the Import CCS Eclipse Projects dialog, and select the
directory c:\ti\CC3200SDK\cc3200-sdk.
► Select the four projects by clicking the checkbox for the driverlib, oslib, simplelink, and
ti_rtos_config projects.
Note: ► Do NOT select “Copy projects into workspace” option or “Automatically import
referenced projects found in same search-directory”.
► After selecting all four projects, click “Finish”.

This is the end of the seminar pre-work. At the seminar you will receive a
CC3200 LaunchPad board which is required for the remaining lab steps. If you already have
a LaunchPad board, you can proceed with the remaining steps.

Configure the CC3200 LaunchPad Board
1 - 16 Arrow IoT Seminar - CC3200 Tools Setup
Configure the CC3200 LaunchPad Board
This part of the lab will be done at the seminar you are attending. It requires that you have a
CC3200 LaunchPad board. So if you’re just doing the pre-work steps, you’re done at this point. If
you already have your own LaunchPad board, you can go ahead and perform these steps as
well.
Check CC3200 LaunchPad Jumpers
13. The jumpers on the CC3200-LAUNCHXL should be connected as shown.
► Make sure there is NO jumper on P58-VCC
► Make sure the SOP2 jumper has been installed
The jumper on SOP2 (sense on power) is used when debugging CCS projects. This allows
downloading code to the CC3200 RAM, and inhibits the CC3200 from automatically boot-loading
the application image that is stored in serial flash. This jumper is also used whenever you want to
program the serial flash with a new application image, file, digital certificate, or CC3200 service
pack. If this jumper is removed, the stored application image is bootloaded from serial flash. On a
new board, a pre-programmed “out-of-box” example is loaded and run.
.
No jumper here!

Configure the CC3200 LaunchPad Board
Arrow IoT Seminar - CC3200 Tools Setup 1 - 17
Install USB Driver
14. The USB drivers may need to be installed manually after connecting your LaunchPad
board.
► Connect the CC3200-LAUNCHXL to the PC using the provided micro-USB cable.
► Open the Windows Device Manager by selecting Start Menu
→
Control Panel
→
Device
Manager.
If you see two devices in the “Other devices” category named USB <-> JTAG/SWD, you will
need to install the driver software for both instances.
If you DON’T see these devices in “Other devices”, check the Ports category to see if the
CC3200LP already shows up there. If already installed you can skip the remaining steps.
► Right click on the first instance of “USB <-> JTAG/SWD” and select “Update Driver
Software …”
► Select “Browse my computer for driver software.”
Note: If you’ve previously installed a TI board that uses FTDI drivers, this process is not
necessary.
