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\v4.2.x.x 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 7-1) or Release Configuration from the drop-down menu. (For this example, select Debug.)

8. Select Download and Debug from the Project drop-down menu or click the Play icon. (See Figure 7-2.)
   Figure 7-2 Download and Debug
   Note: The IDE debugs and loads the software onto the device. This process may take 5 to 10 minutes.
9. Click the red X icon in the IDE to stop debugging. (See Figure 7-3.)

10. Disconnect the STM3240G-EVAL.
11. Reconnect the STM3240G-EVAL.
12. Press Reset on the STM3240G-EVAL device.
13. Click the GO button in the IAR (see Figure 7-4).

Keil

1. Navigate to C:\TI\Connectivity\CC256XBT\CC256xSTM32BluetopiaSDK\v4.2.x.x 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 7-5].)

8. Right-click SPPDemo_Debug in the project sidebar.
9. Select Build target to build the code. (See Figure 7-6.)
   Note: Figure 7-7 shows the output when built correctly.
   Figure 7-6 Building Target
   Note: After a few minutes, the build process finishes and builds a .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 7-8.)
         Figure 7-8 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 7-9.)
         Note: The loading process completes 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.
