3.1.2.1 Loading the CC1352 Firmware

Follow these steps to load the firmware on the CC1352 LaunchPads:

  1. Download UniFlash from http://www.ti.com/tool/UNIFLASH.
  2. Open UniFlash and connect the sensor node and collector node to the PC.
    Note:

    See Section 3.1.1 for details on setting up the IWR6843 boards and CC1352 LaunchPad.

  3. Once the CC1352 is plugged into the PC, UniFlash will detect each individual device.
    Note:

    Both the 5-V power supply and a USB cable are needed to program the sensor node, but only the USB cable is needed to program the collector node.

  4. Highlight the device to be programmed and click the Start button.
  5. In the Program section, under Flash Image(s), click the Browse button.
    1. If loading firmware for the collector, navigate to the TIDA-010022 firmware folder and select the collector_cc1352r1lp.out file.
    2. If loading firmware for the sensor, navigate to the TIDA-010022 firmware folder and select the sensor_cc1352r1lp.out file.
  6. After selecting the correct image file, click the Load Image button.
  7. If the image was loaded successfully, the message "[SUCCESS] Program Load load completed successfully" is displayed.
