CC3220 SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi®LaunchPad™ Development Kit Hardware
1.5.2 Running the Out-of-Box Experience
The CC3220 LaunchPad development kit's Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) demonstrates and highlights
the following features:
• Easy connection to the CC3220 LaunchPad kit:
– Using the SimpleLink Wi-Fi Starter Pro application (available on iOS and Android™), users can use
Access Point (AP) provisioning or SmartConfig™ provisioning for a fast CC3220 connection.
– Configuring the device in AP mode gives users a direct connection to the CC3220 LaunchPad kit.
Once the device is provisioned and connected to an AP in station mode, the profile is stored on the
local file system so that any reset to the CC3220 automatically connects it to the AP.
• Easy access to the CC3220 through its internal web server, using either:
– The SimpleLink Wi-Fi Starter Pro application
– Any browser; web pages stored on the serial flash are loaded on the browser, to provide ease of
use.
This feature demonstrates configuring and reading onboard sensors.
• Over-The-Air (OTA) updates that demonstrate an update of a full image. OTA service enables in-
system updates of the MCU application, CC3220 firmware releases (Service Pack) made available by
TI, and other vendor files. An update procedure executed in a full-system integrity fashion, such as
failure to upgrade any image components, results in rolling back to the previous valid version.
See the CC3220 LaunchPad Out-of-Box User's Guide for more details on the Out-of-Box Experience.
1.6 Next Steps: Looking into the Provided Code
After the EVM features have been explored, the user can open an integrated development environment
and start editing the code examples from the SDK. See Section 4.3 for available IDEs and where to
download them. The Out-of-Box source code and more code examples are provided in the CC3220 SDK.
Code is licensed under BSD, and TI encourages reuse and modifications to fit specific needs.
With the onboard XDS110 debug probe, debugging and downloading new code is simple. A USB
connection between the EVM and a PC through the provided USB cable is all that is needed.

2.5.2 Using the XDS110 Debug Probe With a Different Target
The XDS110 debug probe on the LaunchPad development kit can interface to most Arm Cortex-M
devices, not just the onboard target CC3220 device. This functionality is enabled by the J4 10-pin Cortex-
MJTAG connector (See Figure 9) and a 10-pin cable, such as the FFSD-05-D-06.00-01-N (sold
separately from the LaunchPad development kit).
Figure 9. XDS110 OUT Connector (J4)
Header J4 follows the Cortex-M Arm standard; however, pin 1 is not a voltage sense pin. The XDS110
outputs only 3.3-V JTAG signals. If another voltage level is needed, the user must provide level shifters to
translate the JTAG signal voltages.
1. Remove jumpers on the JTAG signals on the isolation block, including RST, TMS, TCK, TDO, and TDI.
2. Plug the 10-pin cable into J4, and connect to an external target.
a. J4 follows the Arm Cortex Debug Connector standard outlined in Cortex-M Debug Connectors.
3. Plug USB power into the LaunchPad development kit, or power it externally.
a. JTAG levels are 3.3-V ONLY

2.5.3 I2C Connections
The board features an accelerometer and a temperature sensor for the out-of-box demo. These are
connected to the I2C bus, and can be isolated using the jumpers provided (shown as yellow jumpers J15
and J16 in Figure 10).
Figure 10. I2C Bus Connections
By removing J15 and J16, the accelerometer and the temperature sensors are isolated from the I2C bus.
This measure also removes the I2C pullup resistors from the sensor side of the circuit, and therefore any
connection to the circuit requires the user to install external pullup resistors.

2.5.7 UART Signals
The board supports a USB-based virtual COM port, using the Tiva™ Arm MCU. The LaunchPad kit is
shipped with the UART lines from the CC3220 connected to the UART on the Tiva MCU. The CC3220
UART TX can also be routed to the 20-pin connector for use as a GPIO or external UART. The selection
is performed using jumpers on the board. The RX signal cannot be routed to the 20 pin connector
because it is interfaced to an op-amp to use with an ADC. To use the pin as GPIO or external UART you
must use the second pin on the J6 column.
Figure 13 shows the UART routed to USB COM port and Figure 14 shows the UART routed to 20-pin
header connector.

2.5.8 Push-Buttons and LED Indicators
Table 8 list the push-button definitions.

(Rev. A/C) Reference (Rev. B) Use Comments
SW1 SW1 RESET This is used to reset the CC3220 device. This signal is also output on the
20-pin connector to reset any external BoosterPack module which may be
stacked. The reset can be isolated using the jumper block at the center of
the board.
SW2 SW3 GPIO_13 When pushed, GPIO_13 is pulled to VCC.
SW3 SW2 GPIO_22 When pushed, GPIO_22 is pulled to VCC.
SW4 SW4 Factory default Pressing this button and toggling RESET restores the factory default image on the serial flash. This can be used to recover a corrupted serial flash,
provided the s-flash was programmed with a recovery image.
Table 9 lists the LED indicators.
(1) GPIO_10 and GPIO_11 are also used as I2C. Thus, when the pullup resistors are enabled, the LEDs are on by default, without
configuring the GPIOs.

2.5.9 BoosterPack Module Header Pin Assignment
The TI BoosterPack module header pinout specification is at Build Your Own BoosterPack. Also see the BoosterPack Pinout Standard.
The CC3220 LaunchPad kit follows this standard, with the exception of naming. (P1:P4 is used instead of J1:J4.) See Figure 15 for CC3220 pin-
mapping assignments and functions.
Figure 15. CC3220 BoosterPack Module Header Pin Assignments
NOTE: RESET output is an open-drain-type output and can only drive the pin low. The pullup ensures that the line is pulled back high when the
button is released. No external BoosterPack module can drive this pin low.
All the signals are referred to by the pin number in the SDK; Figure 15 shows the default mappings. Some of the pins are repeated across the
connector. For instance, pin 62 is available on P1 and P4, but only P1 is connected by default. The signal on P4 is marked with an asterisk (*) to
signify that it is not connected by default. The signal can be routed to the pin by using a 0-Ωresistor in the path. For the exact resistor placement,
see the CC3220 SimpleLink Wi-Fi Wireless MCU LaunchPad Board Design Files.

2.6.1 USB Power
The LaunchPad kit is designed to work from the USB-provided power supply. The LaunchPad kit provides
addresses as a bus-powered device on the computer. To power the CC3220 device from the USB, the
jumpers must be placed on the following headers, as shown in Figure 16.
