Energia ConnectWithWPA build error on MSP-EXP430FR5969 + CC3100BOOST

[thbui 0]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to get the ConnectWithWPA example sketch working with the CC3100BOOST boosterpack on a MSP-EXP430FR5969 LaunchPad and got the following compilation error:

 

c:/ti/energia/hardware/tools/msp430/bin/../lib/gcc/msp430/4.6.3/../../../../msp430/bin/ld.exe: ConnectWithWPA.cpp.elf section `.bss' will not fit in region `ram'
c:/ti/energia/hardware/tools/msp430/bin/../lib/gcc/msp430/4.6.3/../../../../msp430/bin/ld.exe: region `ram' overflowed by 862 bytes
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

 

I'm running the latest version of Energia (0101E0013)

Has any one ran into this? How do I get around it?

Thanks

There is a fix in the current Energia git version that moves some of the variables to FRAM. You can find it here: https://github.com/energia/Energia/pull/492/files

Thanks for your help,

 

Using your advice, I managed to get the example to compile but now ran into another problem with the CC3100BOOST booster pack: it won't connect to my WiFi Access Point.

 

Perhaps there are more problem using the CC3100 Booster Pack with the MSP-EXP430FR5969 than just compiling.

 

Has anyone succeeded in getting the CC3100 Booster Pack to work with the MSP-EXP430FR5969 yet?

 

Thanks,

I've had it working, yes.

Thanks, that's good to know.

Did you have to upgrade the firmware on the CC3100 Booster Pack? I went cheap and didn't get a companion emulator board with the CC3100 and now have no way of upgrading the firmware.

Ah good point- I did upgrade the firmware without trying beforehand. I bought the CC3100+emuboost bundle.

Thanks,

I guess I have to fork over for that emulation board now :-). Wish the CC3100 Boosterpack would work with Arduino as well. Make the investment a lot more palatable.

I know Adafruit is working on a CC3100 module of their own, and presumably library; the basic boosterpack hardware should be usable with Arduino I think, just doesn't plug in all nice.  Might be worth tinkering with at some point.  I don't know for sure if the I/O pins are 5V tolerant though ...
