7 Building and Flashing the Bluetooth Code (STM3240G-EVAL)

Sample applications for FreeRTOS and NoOS are available for IAR and KEIL.

Perform the following instructions to set up applications on each IDE version.

IAR

1. Navigate to C:\TI\Connectivity\CC256XBT\CC256xSTM32BluetopiaSDK\v4.0.2.1 to open the workspace.
2. Select one of the following samples:
   • For NoOS, navigate to \NoOS\STM3240G-EVAL\Samples\ for a list of samples.
   • For FreeRTOS, navigate to \FreeRTOS\STM3240G-EVAL\Samples\ for a list of samples.
3. Select the demonstration to load onto the device. (This example uses SPPDemo.)
4. Navigate to NoOS.
5. Navigate to EWARM.
6. Select SPPDemo.eww.

NOTE

The IAR IDE opens.

7. Select Debug. (See Figure 6.) or Release Configuration from the drop-down menu. (For this example, select Debug.)
Figure 6. IAR Drop-down Menu
8. Select Download and Debug from the Project drop-down menu or click the Play icon. (See Figure 7.)

NOTE

The IDE debugs and loads the software onto the device. This may take 5 to 10 minutes.

9. Click the red X in the IDE to stop debugging. (See Figure 8.)

10. Disconnect the STM3240G-EVAL.
11. Reconnect the STM3240G-EVAL.
12. Press Reset on the STM3240G-EVAL device.
13. Press the GO button in the IAR.

KEIL

1. Navigate to C:\TI\Connectivity\CC256XBT\CC256xSTM32BluetopiaSDK\v4.0.2.1 to open the workspace.
2. Select one of the following samples:
   • For NoOS, navigate to \NoOS\STM3240G-EVAL\Samples\ for a list of samples.
   • For FreeRTOS, navigate to \FreeRTOS\STM3240G-EVAL\Samples\ for a list of samples.
3. Select the demonstration to load onto the device. (This example uses SPPDemo.)
4. Navigate to NoOS.

NOTE

For RTOS, navigate to FreeRTOS.

5. Navigate to RVMDK in the list.
6. Click SPPDemo.uvproj.

NOTE

Keil µVision4 opens.

7. Select Debug or Release Configuration from the drop-down menu. (For this example, select Debug [See Figure 10].)

8. Right-click SPPDemo_Debug in the project sidebar.
9. Select Build target to build the code. (See Figure 11.)

NOTE

Figure 12 shows the output when built correctly.

NOTE

After a few minutes, the build process finishes and builds an .axf file. Each time you change the configuration, you must build a new .axf file.

10. Choose Debug mode or Release and Debug modes.
    • For Debug mode only:
      1. Select Start/Stop Debug Session to start loading the profile on the STM32 device and to work in Debug mode. (See Figure 13.)
      Figure 13. Debug Mode

      NOTE

      The loading process completes in a few minutes.

      2. Stop the debugging session from the Debug drop-down menu.

      NOTE

      The profile loads on the STM3240G-EVAL board.

      3. Unplug the device.
      4. Plug the device in again to start working with it.
    • For Release and Debug modes:
      1. Click LOAD to start loading the profile on the STM32 device. (See Figure 14.)

      NOTE

      It should complete in a few minutes.

      The profile loads on the STM3240G-EVAL board.

      2. Unplug the device.
      3. Plug the device in again to start working with it.
