CC3100 SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi®and IoT Solution Getting

Started Guide

ABSTRACT

This guide is intended to assist users in the initial setup and demonstration of the Getting Started with

WLAN Station application. The guide explains how to install an Integrated Development Environment

(IDE), and then compile, download, and debug Getting Started with WLAN Station.

1 Trademarks

SimpleLink is a trademark of Texas Instruments.

Microsoft, Windows are registered trademarks of Microsoft.

Wi-Fi is a registered trademark of Wi-Fi Alliance.

2 Introduction

2.1 Prerequisites

The user should have the following items:

• One CC3100BOOST

• One CC31XXEMUBOOST or MSP430F5529 Launchpad

• An 802.11b/g/n Wireless Access Point (AP)

• A computer running Microsoft®Windows®7 or XP operating systems.

3 Getting Started

3.1 Download and Install Software

Download and install the following software:

• CC3100 SDK package http://www.ti.com/tool/cc3100sdk

– This guide assumes the use of the default installation folder C:\TI\CC3100SDK_<x.x.x>\. .

3.2 Update Service Pack

If the board is not already flashed with the service pack for SDK_<x.x.x>, the latest service pack for

SDK_<x.x.x> must be flashed on the CC3100. The latest service pack can be downloaded from

http://www.ti.com/tool/cc3100sdk. Refer to the UNIFLASH Quick Start guide for details on flashing the

service pack to the CC3100

(http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC31xx_%26_CC32xx_UniFlash#Service_Pack_Programming).

Details on setting up the hardware for flashing can be found in Section 4.1 .

4.2 Run the Software

The Getting Started with WLAN Station example uses SimpleLink Studio. This example performs the

following functions:

1. Program restores WLAN configuration to factory default

2. Prompts the user for the SSID of an AP

3. Prompts the user for the security type

4. Prompts the user for the password to the AP

5. Attempts to acquire an IP address through DHCP

6. Attempts to reach the internet

NOTE: For full compatibility ensure Visual Studio 2010 is used. Newer versions of Visual Studio will

not work with the device. Visual Studio 2012 works with the "getting started" example, but

gives the error code -2003 for the weather example, and error code -2005 for the email app.

Option 1. Microsoft Visual Studio:

1. Download and install Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2010 from http://www.visualstudio.com/en-

us/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs#DownloadFamilies_4.

2. Open Microsoft Visual Studio Express, and select File>Open>Project/Solution.

3. Navigate to C:\TI\CC3100SDK_<x.x.x>\cc3100-

sdk\platform\simplelinkstudio\example_project_vs\getting_started_with_station , and open

getting_started.sln.

4. Select Build>Build Solution from the menu.

5. When building is complete, select Debug>Start Debugging from the menu.
