3 Serial Bootloader Library (SBL)

The SBL is a PC library for Microsoft Windows that implements a host API for communicating with the CC2538, CC13xx, and CC26xx serial bootloaders. The SBL library project is created in Visual Studio C++ Professional 2015. The serial bootloader library uses the Windows API to communicate with the serial COM port and is therefore not cross-platform compatible.

All functions in SBL are synchronous; meaning that the function does not return until ACK or NACK are received or an error occurs. Figure 3-1 demonstrates a sequence chart of the SBL ping() function.

All bootloader commands can be accessed through functions within SBL; which allows easy execution of operations like erasing and writing to the flash memory directly through SBL.

For a more detailed description of the ROM bootloader and how to use all the serial commands, see the device-specific ROM user’s guide [1] through [6] in the References section.
