4 Programming the CC3120 BoosterPack™

Regardless of the host MCU (MSP432 or Windows PC as SimpleLink Studio mode), the CC3120BOOST or BOOSTXL-CC3120MOD board must be programmed. As a minimum, the Service Pack is required. Other system and configuration files are also programmed by default.

To program a CC3120 BoosterPack, the CC31XXEMUBOOST board is required. Section 3.1 describes the setup.

To program a CC3120 BoosterPack, install the UniFlash utility and perform the following steps:

  1. Connect the CC31XXEMUBOOST board to the PC using the micro USB cable.
  2. Launch UniFlash, select CC3120/CC3220 device, and then click the Start Image Creator button (see Figure 10).

  3. Select the New Project button to enter the project information (see Figure 11).
  4. Enter a project name.
  5. Select CC3120 as the Device Type.
  6. Select Develop as the Device Mode (choose Production mode in final production).
  7. Click the Create Project button.

  9. On the left side of the page, click the Service Pack tab to bring up the Service Pack File Name selection dialog.
  10. Click the Browse button and navigate to the Service Pack directory to select the binary (see Figure 13).

    11. The Service Pack is in the SDK under the <SDK install Dir>/tools/cc31xx_tools/servicepack-cc3x20 directory.
