smlight-cc-flasher 0.1.0

Flasher for SMLIGHT CC26xx Devices

SMLIGHT CC Flasher

Firmware flasher for Texas Instruments CC13xx / CC26xx Zigbee SoCs.

Installation

$ pip install smlight-cc-flasher

Usage

While this flasher was based on cc2538-bsl, some CLI options have changed:

• -p, --port is now -d, --device for input /dev/ttyUSB0 or socket://host:port
• New --host to specify network host, as alternative to -d socket://host:port, however if specified with USB -d /dev/ttyUSB0, will attempt network BSL only.
• -p, --port now specifies network port (default 6638)
• New --m33 option, required for CC2654P10 chips (i.e SLZB-0xP10)
• New -bootloader-reset <mode> to specify BSL mode
• --read now outputs to dedicated file specified with --output <file>
• Some other options removed.

See smlight-cc-flasher --help for more details.

Flashing Firmware Examples

USB (on Linux/Mac will attempt to autodetect device if not specified):

$ smlight-cc-flasher -ewv \
    [-d /dev/ttyUSB0] znp_LP_CC1352P7.hex

SLZB-06x over network:

$ smlight-cc-flasher -ewv \
    --host slzb-06.local [--port 6638] \
    znp_LP_CC1352P7.hex

or

$ smlight-cc-flasher -ewv \
    --device socket://10.42.0.2:6638 \
    znp_LP_CC1352P7.hex

SLZB-06P10 USB flash with network bootloader (currently SLZB authentication is not supported):

$ smlight-cc-flasher -ewv \
    --device /dev/ttyUSB0 --host slzb-06.local --m33 \
    znp_LP_CC1352P7.hex

Other notes

Bootloader settings from the new firmware are displayed before flashing. If the new firmware disables bootloader you are required to provide the --force flag to proceed with flashing.

For all the CC13xx and CC26xx families, the ROM bootloader is configured through the BL_CONFIG 'register' in CCFG. BOOTLOADER_ENABLE should be set to 0xC5 to enable the bootloader in the first place.

This is enough if the chip has not been programmed with a valid image. If a valid image is present, then the remaining fields of BL_CONFIG and the ERASE_CONF register must also be configured correctly:

• Select a DIO by setting BL_PIN_NUMBER
• Select an active level (low/high) for the DIO by setting BL_LEVEL
• Enable 'failure analysis' by setting BL_ENABLE to 0xC5
• Make sure the BANK_ERASE command is enabled: The BANK_ERASE_DIS_N bit in the ERASE_CONF register in CCFG must be set. BANK_ERASE is enabled by default.
