Sample applications are available for CCS, IAR, and Keil. To set up the sample applications on each IDE version, do as follows:

CCS

1. Navigate to the workspace through Project → Import CCS Projects.
2. Open C:\TI\Connectivity\CC256X BT\CC256x MSP432 Bluetopia SDK\4.2.x.x\Samples.
3. Select the demonstration to load onto the device (for this example, the SPPDemo).
4. Navigate to SPPDemo → CCS.
   Note:

   The CCS SPPDemo project opens (see Figure 6-1).

   Figure 6-1 CCS Project Folder
5. Open Project → Properties → General, and ensure that the “Manage the project’s target-configuration automatically” checkbox is set. See Figure 6-2.
   Figure 6-2 Project Properties / General
6. Ensure the MSP432 device is connected.
7. Select the debug icon from the toolbar (see Figure 6-3).
   Figure 6-3 Debug Icon
   Note:

   Let the IDE debug and load the software onto the device. This process may take 5 to 10 minutes. After the IDE loads the software, the it is ready to use.

To begin using the profile, do as follows:

1. Click the play and resume icon on the CCS toolbar (see Figure 6-4).

IAR

To open the workspace, do as follows:

1. Navigate to C:\TI\Connectivity\CC256X BT\CC256x MSP432 Bluetopia SDK\4.2.x.x\Samples.
2. Select the demonstration to load onto the device (for this example, the SPPDemo).
3. Navigate to SPPDemo → EWARM.
4. Select SPPDemo.eww.
   Note:

   The IAR IDE opens.

5. Select either the Debug or Release configuration from the drop-down menu (in this example, select Debug, see Figure 6-5).
   Figure 6-5 Debug Workspace
6. Ensure that the MSP-EXP432P401R LaunchPad development kit is connected.
7. Select Download and Debug from the Project tab or the play icon (see Figure 6-6).
   Figure 6-6 Download and Debug
   Note:

   Let the IDE debug and load the software onto the device. This process may take 5 to 10 minutes.

8. Click the red X icon in the IAR toolbar to stop debugging (see Figure 6-7).
   Figure 6-7 Red X

To begin using the profile, do as follows:

1. Click the Go icon in IAR (see Figure 6-8).

Keil

To open the workspace, do as follows:

1. Navigate to C:\TI\Connectivity\CC256X BT\CC256x MSP432 Bluetopia SDK\4.2.x.x\Samples.
2. Select the demonstration to load on the device (for this example, use SPPDemo).
3. Navigate to SPPDemo → Keil in the samples list.
4. Select SPPDemo.uvprojx.
   Note:

   Keil µVision5 opens.

5. Select either the Debug or Release configuration from the drop-down menu (in this example, select Debug, see Figure 6-9).
   Figure 6-9 Configurations

To build the code, do as follows:

1. Navigate to Project → Build Target in the program menu (see Figure 6-10).
   Figure 6-10 Build Project → Target
   Note:

   After a few minutes, the build process finishes and should build a .axf file. Each time the configuration is changed, a new .axf file must be built.

2. Choose from the following two options.
   • For Debug Mode Only, do as follows:
     1. Select Start/Stop Debug Session to start loading the profile on the MSP432 device (see Figure 6-11).
        Figure 6-11 Start/Stop Debug Session
        Note:

        The debug session finishes in a few minutes.

     2. Stop the debugging session from the Debug menu.
        Note:

        The profile loads on the MSP-EXP432P401R LaunchPad development kit.

     3. Unplug the device.
     4. Plug in the device.
   • For Release and Debug Modes:
     1. Press the LOAD icon to start loading the profile on the MSP432 device (see Figure 6-12).
        Figure 6-12 LOAD Button
        Note:

        The profile finishes in a few minutes. The profile loads on the MSP-EXP432P401R LaunchPad development kit.

     2. Unplug the device.
     3. Plug in the device.
