CC3000 sample program not working

[yNos 0]

I am not sure if i am doing something wrong or if i have my environment setup wrong..  I have just pulled down and done a build of energia

( git clone https://github.com/energia/Energia.git /opt/energia.build && cd /opt/energia.build/build && ant linux64-build && ant linux64-run)

It seemed to work fine when my daughter and I wrote her little whiskerbot, when I try to load up the sample simpleWebServer prog, i get compile errors.

Here is what i have worked through so far - but now my limited C++ skills are shining through..

$ diff /opt/energia.build/libraries/SimplelinkWifi/examples/simpleWebServer/simpleWebServer.ino ~/sketchbook/simpleWebServerTEST/simpleWebServerTEST.ino

here are my compile errors:

Is my environment misconfigured or am i just jumping the gun with the SimpleLink stuff and should cool down while you guys work on it?

Actually, you may be facing different kinds of issues, one related to Linux and another related to the CC3000.

 

On Linux, I'm afraid I can't help you as I work with Mac and occasionally with Windows.

 

On the CC3000, the problem is the firmware version. Energia provides an CC3000 Firmware Update to 1.11 but the sketch only works if the previous version is 1.10.

 

If you have bought the CC3000 early, I guess you have version 1.9 or prior like me.

 

So you need to update the Driver Patch Programmer and the Firmware Patch Programmer first to version 1.9, then to 1.10, and finally to 1.11. The updates require Windows, but don't work on Windows 8. I also had to switch the anti-virus off, as it was reporting false positive alerts continuously.

 

On the two CC3000 BoosterPacks I have,

• one works now successfully with the simple web server  but has had its MAC address changed  ,
• the other doesn't work  but has kept its MAC address.

The compile errors I am seeing are happening before it touches the silicon, I am not sure that firmware would matter at that point, would it?

Noob question: What do I have to change to make it look in the correct dirs for SPI.h and WiFi.h, as well as the .cpp files that go with them?

[energia 485]

You will need to copy the lib to the library directory. Energia / libraries / SimplelinkWifi to build/linux/work/hardware/lm4f/cores/lm4f/libraries. Remove the old one first.

Hey, go figure - you put stuff in the right spot and it works! - Thank you!

Now to find a windows box so we can get the firmware updated.
