I stick to your CC3200 newbie guide and even picked the same colors for my jumper cables 
and I tried without VCC of UART and bridging VCC with SOP2 of PCB
everytime same timeout error

2024-12-18 17:11:07,562 – timed out while waiting for ack
2024-12-18 17:11:07,562 – Could not connect to target: Did not get ACK on break condition
should I try to hot glue the copper cables?
Just to be sure. My procedure is:
- Connecting UART via USB-C to my PC
- Connecting power supply
- Execute cc3200tool command in CMD
Is this the correct order in general?
