CC3200 Tool did not get entire response

Toniebox Hardware CC3200 (V1, V2)
1

Hi,
since two days I’m trying to get my CC3200 connected to the CC-Tool and I’m close to a mental breakdown. :wink:
When I try to list the filesystem I got this error: did not get entire response

Is it just because I use an Arduino instead of an USB-UART or do I have an incorrect installation?
I would be glad if somebody knows what to do.

You can try another usb-port or computer. Don’t use an usb hub.
Maybe your connection is bad in general.

Please give some more details:

  • Your wiring
  • The used commands
3

Thx, sry, was a bit late.
I don‘t use a Hub.
Already tried another port, same problem.
My connection is via Jumper Cable and the arduino in reset mode.
I rechecked my wire connection, nothing special. But could get a more solid one.

vcc is connected to sop2
I am doing a reset by connecting rst with ground. green light still on.

5

What do you mean by “the arduino”? Is the UART 3.3V?
As alternative, use a different UART.

6

I use an arduino uno as usb uart. Voltage divide to get to 3.3v.
To get rid of the AT Mega i connect Rst with ground.
Maybe I have to get another uart but why shouldn‘t it work with the arduino?

7

This can be the problem if you don’t pull up the logic level from 3.3v to 5v for the TX line of the toniebox.

8

Okay.
But at the toniebox tx I don‘t have a Resistor.
Just ordered another Adapter.

9

So, with the new adapter I got an equal but different error.
stops one line before?

and just to be sure.
I have connected 3,3v to sop2 all the time.
After made a command I have to connect rst with gnd again to give another command. (If I don’t do it, it says timed out while waiting).

Do I have to switch into another bootmode?

meanwhile wires are glued and soldered to the board. no shorts. no bad connection here.

I also tried without battery and connected to power supply.

new adapter is from Makershop.de CH340G TTL Konverter (hmm, it’s the same driver as arduino)

11

So I read the newbie article again and again.

Passage: Connect the UART programmer via USB to your computer. The green LED of the Toniebox mainboard should be constantly green (no flashing/blinking). If that’s not the case, your connections are most probably not sitting correctly.

So with no external power, just the UART, the green LED should light?

until now the 3,3v was not connected to the uart.
i changed it now, but did not solve it.
same issue.

12

You need external power support, either the battery or the power outlet. The UART alone is normally not enough for the CC3200, even though the led might be very light green. You notice the difference immediately after you plug in external power.

13

External power was always plugged in.

14

I am one step further. It’s neither the Arduino nor the new adapter. It’s either something with the Linux installation or with the laptop’s USB ports. The computer is already quite old, so I’m not entirely sure if it even has USB 1.0. Because otherwise, all communication works. No idea.
It worked with my adpaters on another linux machine.
