CC26x2R1 LaunchXL

Overview

The Texas Instruments CC26x2R LaunchPad™ (LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1) is a development kit for the SimpleLink™ multi-Standard CC2652R wireless MCU.

See the TI CC26x2R LaunchPad Product Page for details.

Hardware

The CC26x2R LaunchPad™ development kit features the CC2652R wireless MCU. The board is equipped with two LEDs, two push buttons and BoosterPack connectors for expansion. It also includes an integrated (XDS110) debugger.

The CC2652 wireless MCU has a 48 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M4F SoC and an integrated 2.4 GHz transceiver supporting multiple protocols including Bluetooth® Low Energy and IEEE® 802.15.4.

See the TI CC2652R Product Page for additional details.

Programming and Debugging

Before flashing or debugging ensure the RESET, TMS, TCK, TDO, and TDI jumpers are in place. Also place jumpers on the TXD and RXD signals for a serial console using the XDS110 application serial port.

Prerequisites:

  1. Ensure the XDS-110 emulation firmware on the board is updated.

    Download and install the latest XDS-110 emulation package.

    Follow these xds110 firmware update directions

    Note that the emulation package install may place the xdsdfu utility in <install_dir>/ccs_base/common/uscif/xds110/.

  2. Install OpenOCD

    You can obtain OpenOCD by following these installing the latest Zephyr SDK instructions.

    After the installation, add the directory containing the OpenOCD executable to your environment’s PATH variable. For example, use this command in Linux:

    export PATH=$ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/openocd:$PATH
    

Flashing

Applications for the CC26x2R LaunchPad board configuration can be built and flashed in the usual way (see Building an Application and Run an Application for more details).

Here is an example for the Hello World application.

First, run your favorite terminal program to listen for output.

$ screen <tty_device> 115200

Replace <tty_device> with the port where the XDS110 application serial device can be found. For example, /dev/ttyACM0.

Then build and flash the application in the usual way.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b cc26x2r1_launchxl samples/hello_world
west flash

Debugging

You can debug an application in the usual way. Here is an example for the Hello World application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b cc26x2r1_launchxl samples/hello_world
west debug

Bootloader

The ROM bootloader on CC13x2 and CC26x2 devices is enabled by default. The bootloader will start if there is no valid application image in flash or the so-called backdoor is enabled (via option CONFIG_CC13X2_CC26X2_BOOTLOADER_BACKDOOR_ENABLE) and BTN-1 is held down during reset. See the bootloader documentation in chapter 10 of the TI CC13x2 / CC26x2 Technical Reference Manual for additional information.

Power Management and UART

System and device power management are supported on this platform, and can be enabled via the standard Kconfig options in Zephyr, such as CONFIG_PM, CONFIG_PM_DEVICE.

When system power management is turned on (CONFIG_PM=y), sleep state 2 (standby mode) is allowed, and polling is used to retrieve input by calling uart_poll_in(), it is possible for characters to be missed if the system enters standby mode between calls to uart_poll_in(). This is because the UART is inactive while the system is in standby mode. The workaround is to disable sleep state 2 while polling:

pm_policy_state_lock_get(PM_STATE_STANDBY, PM_ALL_SUBSTATES);
<code that calls uart_poll_in() and expects input at any point in time>
pm_policy_state_lock_put(PM_STATE_STANDBY, PM_ALL_SUBSTATES);
