Firmware Development

Using Energia IDE

Please refer to Getting Started with CC3200 in our "User Guides" section for details

You can develop RedBearLab CC3200 WiFi series firmware using Energia, a modified version of the Wiring/Arduino IDE for those boards with MCUs from Texas Instruments. We have provided an add-on package to full support RedBearLab CC3200 Wi-Fi series boards. You can just compile the existing examples directly or develop you own application using the APIs provied by Energia.

After you have connected our boards to the PC using a USB cable, the Energia will automatically detect the communication port. Select correct WiFi board model and choose the serial port.

And then just click on the Right Arrow button on the toolbar to begin compiling and uploading to the board.

Using Ti's SDK with GCC, IAR System and CCS IDE

Texas Instruments has released the CC3200 SDK that supports GCC, IAR System and Code Composer Studio (CCS). This SDK contains drivers for the CC3200 programmable MCU, 40+ sample applications and documentation on how to use the solution. It also contains flash programmer, command line tool for flashing software, configuring network and software parameters (SSID, access point channel, network profile, etc.), system files and user files (certificates, web pages, etc).

Combining WiFi and BLE

RedBearLab CC3200 and WiFi Mini have been designed to be able to work together with our BLE Shield, BLE Nano or BLE Mini. You can utilize both WiFi and BLE in your project with ease.

BLE Nano
Both RedBearLab CC3200 and WiFi Mini have dedicated pins for connecting to BLE Nano, they exchange data via the SPI interface

BLE Mini
You can mount our BLE Mini on either board, they exchange data via the UART interface

BLE Shield
You can easily mount our BLE Shield on top of RedBearLab CC3200
