EVM User’s Guide 3 Connecting to the PC using EMUBOOST 3.1 CC31XXEMUBOOST 3.1.1 Overview The CC31XXEMUBOOST is designed to connect the CC3100MODBOOST pack to a PC using USB connection. This is used to update the firmware on the BP using the “SL_Prog” utility and also in software development using “SL_Studio”. 3.1.2 Hardware details The board has two FTDI ICs to enumerate multiple COM and D2XX ports.
EVM User’s Guide output. TX only Note : On the PC only two of the four ports would be visible on the Device Manager. The D2XX ports are not listed under the “Ports” tab. The first COM port in the list usually is used for the flash programming. Ports available on J5 Port No Port Type Usage Comments 1 VCP RT3 Used for TI internal debug only. 2 VCP MAC logger MAC logger output. TX only 3.1.3 Driver requirements The FTDI Debug board requires the user to install the associated drivers on a PC.

EVM User’s Guide 4 Connecting to a Launchpad The CC3100MOD Booster pack can be directly connected to a compatible Launchpad using the standard 2x20 pin connectors. The jumper settings needed for this connection is the same as that needed for the EMUBOOST board as described in the previous section. Please ensure that the Pin1 of the 2x20 pins are aligned correctly before mating. The mated setup is as per the picture below. (Note the USB cable is connected to the Booster Pack directly to power it only.
