What if I installed the SimpleLink CC26x2 SDK at a non default location (e.g. Not at C:\ti\)?

All projects reference files from the BLE stack using environment variables, you can change this in your IDE's project files.

CCS

No changes to the project is necessary. You just need to ensure that Code Composer Studio was able to discover the SimpleLink CC26x2 SDK in the available RTSC Products tab. See the BLE5-Stack User's Guide for more details.

I am using a LaunchPad device, how can I view display data?

LaunchPad projects are already set up to use the tidriver Display. For more information about the Display driver please see the Display.h driver documentation in the SimpleLink CC26x2 SDK (docs/tidrivers/tidriversAPI.html)

To setup your PC to receive this data please follow the steps below:

  1. Install PuTTY or another serial terminal emulator

  2. Use the Windows Device Manager (Start → Run → mmc devmgmt.msc → Ok) to determine which COM port you should connect to:

    Device Manager

    • Note the COM port number of the XDS110 Class Application/User UART listed.

  3. Configure putty as a serial console with 115200 8N1.

  4. Fill in the Serial Line field with the COM port from above.

  5. When configured correctly, the program should look as below:

Main Screen Serial Screen
Putty Main Putty serial

You may need to unplug/replug your LaunchPad and restart PuTTY if you do not see any output.
