Introduction
1.5.2
www.ti.com
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 insystem 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.

Connecting a BoosterPack Plug-in Module
A compatible BoosterPack module can be stacked on top of the LaunchPad kit using the 2-pin × 20-pin
connectors. The connectors do not have a key to prevent the misalignment of the pins or reverse
connection.
Ensure that the VCC and 5-V pins are aligned with the BoosterPack module header pins. On the CC3220
LaunchPad kit, a small white 3V3 tag symbol is provided near pin 1 (see Figure 5) to orient all
BoosterPack modules. This same marking, provided on compatible BoosterPack modules, must be
aligned before powering up the boards.

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 CortexM JTAG 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.

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.

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.

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-Ω resistor in the path. For the exact resistor placement,
see the CC3220 SimpleLink Wi-Fi Wireless MCU LaunchPad Board Design Files.

Battery Powering Only the CC3220 and U8 (Onboard Serial Flash)
In some cases, there may be a requirement to power only the CC3220 and the serial flash from the
battery. The usage may not require LEDs, OPAMP for the ADC, and the sensors. In this case, the other
sections can be powered off by removing the appropriate jumpers. Ensure that a jumper is placed on
RST_PU (J9) of the LaunchPad kit. The board would appear as shown in Figure 18.

Isolated Current Measurement of the CC3220
To measure the current draw of the CC3220 when powering with a USB cable, use the VBAT jumper on
the jumper isolation block (J19). The current measured in this mode includes only the CC3220 current and
the serial flash current, and no external blocks. However, if a GPIO of the CC3220 is driving a high-current
load such as an LED, then that is also included in this measurement.
2.7.1
Low-Current Measurement With USB Power (< 1 mA)
To measure the current draw of the CC3220 MCU and serial flash using a ammeter, use the VBAT jumper
on the isolation block. Follow these steps to measure ultra-low power operation of the CC3220:
1. Remove the VBAT jumper (J19) in the isolation block; attach an ammeter across this jumper, as shown
in Figure 19.
2. Consider the effect that the backchannel UART and any circuitry attached to the CC3220 may have on
current draw. Considering disconnecting these at the isolation jumper block, or at least consider their
sinking and sourcing capability in the final measurement. The CC3220 device should not drive any
high-current loads directly (such as an LED) because this can draw a large current.
Figure 19. Low-Current Measurement (1 mA)
Follow these steps to measure active operation of the CC3220:
1. Remove the VBAT jumper (J19).
2. Solder a 0.1-Ω resistor on a wire, which can be connected to an oscilloscope, as shown in Figure 20.
Or, attach a jumper wire between J19 so that it can be used with a current probe.
Figure 20. Active Power Measurements (>1 mA)
3. Measure the voltage across the resistor using an oscilloscope with a differential probe. (For the current
probe, coil the wire around the sensor multiple times for good sensitivity.) An ammeter can also be
used for this measurement, but the results may be erroneous due to the switching nature of the
current.
More information on how to experience the low-power modes and test cases of the CC3220 LaunchPad
kit can be found in the CC3120, CC3220 SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® Internet-on-a chip™ Networking Subsystem
Power Management (see the Power Measurement Guide section).

RF Connections
AP Connection Testing
By default, the board ships with the RF signals routed to the onboard chip antenna, as shown in
Figure 21.
Figure 21. Using Onboard Antenna (Default Condition)
A miniature UMC connector (Murata MM8030-2610) provides a way to test in the lab using a compatible
cable. Alternately, for testing the conducted measurement a U.FL connector is provided on the board. A
rework must be performed before this connector can be used; this involves swapping the position of a
resistor. The modified board would appear as in Figure 22.

Download a Development Environment
Although the files can be viewed with any text editor, more can be done with the projects if they are
opened with a development environment such as Code Composer Studio (CCS), IAR, or Energia.
CCS and IAR are each available in a full version, or a free, code-size-limited version. The full out-of-box
demo cannot be built with the free version of CCS or IAR (IAR Kickstart), due to the code-size limit. To
bypass this limitation, a code-size-limited CCS version is provided that has most functionality integrated
into a library. The code built into the library is able to be viewed by the user, but it cannot be edited. For
full functionality, download the full version of either CCS or IAR.
