       6/21  3  HW requirements Since the NANO USB stick has no I/O connections or LEDs for user interface it is recommended to use a standard CC2531 USB dongle for SW development and prototyping before loading the code onto the NANO USB stick. The NANO USB stick is compatible with regards to USB interface and radio interface to the standard CC2531 USB dongle.

Hence it is recommended to use the USB bootloader code programmed into the device for loading application code onto the device. All unused I/Os should be configured as input pull-down at the beginning of your application to reduce current consumption. 4  NANO USB Stick Serial Boot Loader This section will guide you through the steps needed to build a Serial Boot Loader (SBL) for a Z-stack and for an RF4CE application and will explain you how to modify such an application to be compatible with the SBL. The SBL is provided as a value-enhancing sample solution that enables the updating of code in devices without the cost of maintaining any download-related code in the user application other than ensuring a compatible flash memory mapping of the final output. SBL is effected as a managed client-server mechanism which requires a serial master to drive the process (i.e. a PC GUI application with access to the serial connection to the CC2531.) Since the NANO USB stick has no human interface such as keys, the boot loader will always automatically start before the application, wait for a potential application downloading during ~15sec, and then automatically jump to the application if any valid image is already loaded in flash. If not, it will wait for an application downloading forever. Therefore, when the SBL will be loaded into flash memory, each time you connect your NANO USB stick into a USB port you will have around 15 seconds to download your new application. Then the SBL will jump to the existing application and you won’t be able to download your new application anymore. The following sections will walk you through the steps needed to build and download the SBL, then build and download an SBL compatible application using IAR to finally load your application on the NANO USB stick using SBDemo tool. 4.1 Software required File name Description Link Bootloader_xxx.hex Bootloader hex file   Wiki ZIP archive : File:NANO-USB package.zip  SBDemo  Serial Bootloader PC interface demo application, used to load binary files with the bootloader znp.bat, znp.js, sim2bin.exe for a Z-stack application pp_cc2531f256sb.bat, oadbbin.exe for a RemoTI stack application scripts and executable files performing file conversion

These linker files are automatically installed with the Z-stack and the RemoTI stack under, respectively, \Projects\zstack\Tools\CC2530DB and \Projects\RemoTI\common\cc2530 - USB Drivers (usb_cdc_driver_cc2531_PID16B2.inf and usb_cdc_driver_cc2531_PID16A8.inf) 4.2 SBL Boot Code Image If the SBL is already loaded on your target, skip this section. This section will guide you through the steps needed to program the Bootloader image into flash using Texas Instrument SmartRF Programmer. The project for the boot image already exists, so all you need to do here is open the project, rebuild it and download the output .hex file with SmartRF Programmer. But before downloading the SBL, you may want to tune the period during which the SBL waits for an application to be downloaded (it happens after powercycling the device, the default setting is around 15 sec). To do that, just modify the SBL_WAIT_PERIOD value defined in the Constants section in the main file of the SBL project, called either sb_main.c for the Z-stack bootloader, or main_cc2531.c for the RemoTI stack. This waiting period is not implemented with timers, it simply uses a while loop statement decrementing the SBL_WAIT_PERIOD value. This value is initialized to a non-zero value, and when it reaches zero the SBL jumps to the application. Therefore the conversion between the variable value and corresponding time is approached by the relation:  For Z-stack SBL : SBL_WAIT_PERIOD = 21 845 * X, where X is the waiting period in seconds. For RemoTI SBL : SBL_WAIT_PERIOD = 23 130 * X, where X is the waiting period in seconds. Modify the value and rebuild the project. Then you can download the SBL on the target. 4.3 Download the Serial Bootloader 1. Open Texas Instruments SmartRF Programmer  2. SelectProgram CCxxxx SoC or MSP430 under What do you want to program ? 3. Select System-on-chip tab 4. Browse the Flash image field to the .hex object file of the SBL
       9/21 5. First Erase the flash by selecting Erase in Actions and then click Perform Actions 6. Then program the flash by selececting Erase and Program or Erase, program and verify, then click Perform actions.    4.4 SBL Compatible Application Code Image In this section you will be guided through the steps needed to convert an already existing Z-Stack 2.4.0 or RemoTI 1.2.1 application (in this case the RemoTI RNP application and, in parallel, the Z-stack ZNP application) into one that is compatible with the SBL. The application needs to be modified such that it does not overwrite the SBL that has been programmed into flash in the previous section. After the project has been modified to be SBL compatible the final steps in this section will program the SBL compatible application into flash using SBDemo. 4.5 Generating a Binary file: The project must be modified to produce a binary file that can be downloaded by the SBL PC Application “SBDemo.exe”. This will be used in later sections. In IAR, open your project, here we will use RNP and ZNP projects:    1. File->Open->Open workspace     2. Browse to and open        a. for the Z-Stack: " Projects\zstack\ZNP\CC253x\ znp.eww "       b. for the RemoTI stack: “Projects\RemoTI\RNP\CC2530EB\ rnp_cc2530.eww”    3. From the project view in Left panel click on the drop down box at the top    4. Select        a. For the Z-stack: “CC2531 – ProdSBL”       b. For the RemoTI stack: “CC2531F256_SB”    5. Project->Options    6. Select "Build Actions" category in left panel     7. Depending on the stack you will use, different tools will be used to generate a binary file:
      10/21       a. For the Z-stack: Add the following line to the "Post-build command line":       "$PROJ_DIR$\tools\znp.bat" "$PROJ_DIR$\tools" "CC2531-ProdSBL"       b. For the RemoTI stack:Add the following line to the "Post-build command line":       "$PROJ_DIR$\pp_cc2531f256sb.bat" "$PROJ_DIR$"        8. Now select "Linker" category in the left panel          a. For the Z-stack : in the Ouput tab, in the Format section, select Other, then Output Format: simple-code and Format variant: None
      11/21              b.1) For the RemoTI stack : in the Output tab, in the Fornat Section, select Debug information for C-SPY, and check "With runtime control modules" and "Allow C-SPY - specific extra ouput file"         b.2) in the Extra Ouput tab, check Generate extra ouput file and in the Format section select Ouput format : raw-binary and Format variant : None
      12/21      9. For the Z-stack-based ZNP project only:       a. Select "C/C++ Compiler" category in left panel        b. Select "Preprocessor" tab in right panel        c. At the bottom of the "Defined Symbols: (one per line)" list add (on a new line) MAKE_CRC_SHD (it resets the CRC located at 0x2092-0x2093 in CODE to 0xFFFF value)
      13/21   4.5.1  Note on the batch files: znp.bat and pp_cc2531f256sb.bat use tools located in different directories, therefore be careful to respect the proper location of your files: znp.bat : calls znp.js which shall be located in "$PROJ_DIR$\tools" (1st option of znp.bat) where $PROJ_DIR$ refers to your project directory containing znp.eww. znp.js usessim2bin.exe wich actually converts a .sim file into a .bin file. The .sim file is an output of IAR, sim2bin.exe fetches it in the "CC2531-ProdSBL" (2nd option of znp.bat) directory located in the project directory. Ensure that all the files and directories are properly located and named. pp_cc2531f256sb.bat : calls oadbbin.exe located in "$PROJ_DIR$\..\..\common\cc2530\”, where one “..\” means one on-directory. oadbbin.exe uses rnp_cc2531.a51 (ouput of IAR) located in "$PROJ_DIR$\CC2531F256_SB\Exe\” and creates rnp_cc2531.bin located in "$PROJ_DIR$\CC2531F256_SB\Exe\”. Ensure that all the files and directories are properly located and named. This remark holds for the linker file location, cf. below. 4.5.2  Modify the code placement: The SBL resides in the beginning of flash. So the linker command file needs to place the application image in an area of memory that does not overlap the SBL (and further more at a start address expected by the SBL).     1. On the left pannel select Linker    2. Select "Config" tab.     3. Change the linker command file to:        a. For the Z-stack: $PROJ_DIR$\..\..\Tools\CC2530DB\cc2530-sb.xcl       b. For the RemoTI stack: $PROJ_DIR$\..\..\common\cc2530\ti_51ew_cc2531f256_sb.xcl 4. Rebuild your project.
      14/21   4.6 Download a New Application Image via SBL Once an SBL compatible binary file has been generated, you can download it on the NANO USB stick using the SBDemo tool. 4.6.1 Serially boot the new Application Image (binary file):    1. Connect the NANO USB stick into a USB port    2. Open SBDemo.exe    3. Click on the “...” button and browse to your application image, ex:       a. For the Z-stack: “Projects\zstack\ZNP\CC253x\dev\ CC2531ZNP-Prod.bin”       b. For the RemoTI stack: “Projects\RemoTI\RNP\CC2530EB\CC2531F256_SB\Exe\ rnp_cc2531.bin”    4. Click on the Open button.    5. Enter the COM Port of the SBL (cf. Device Manager)    6. Click on the "Load Image" button to send the file.     7. The file will take a couple of seconds to download and verify.     8. Power cycle the NANO USB stick
      15/21 4.6.2  Remark about the Application The NANO USB stick dongle has almost* all of its pins connected to ground; therefore you should set these pins to be input pull-down at the beginning of your application to reduce current consumption. After a reset the default state is input pullup for all GPIOs. * Port0, Port1 and I/O 2.0, 2,3, 2.4 4.7 Common Issues 4.7.1   SmartRF Programmer bug: Sometimes the SmartRF Programmer window gets out of the screen so you can’t see it anymore but it is still present in the task bar. Therefore you just need to move the window back into the screen:    1. Left click on the application in the task bar to select it    2. Right click on the application in the task bar     3. Click on Move    4. Hit any array button (up/down/left right) on your keyboard to enable the Move command    5. Move your mouse until you see the smart RF window appear on your screen.  4.7.2  USB Driver issues: When you connect a NANO USB stick for the first time in a USB port, Microsoft Windows may automatically install the corect driver. If it does, you should then see your NANO USB stick appear in the Ports (COM & LPT) list in the Device Manager, labeled either RemoTI Network Processor or TI CC2531 Low Power RF to USB CDC Serial Port. If Windows does not install the correct driver, or does not install anything, find your NANO USB stick in the Ports list (check under Universal Serial Bus Controller as an Unknown device or under Cebal controlled devices) and do the following:     1. Right click on the label in the Port list    2. Click on Update Driver…    3. Select No, not this time and click Next    4. Select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) and click Next    5. Select Don’t search. I will choose the driver to install. And click Next    6. Click on Have Disk    7. Browse to either usb_cdc_driver_cc2531_PID16A8.inf or usb_cdc_driver_cc2531_PID16B2.inf.Try both of them, if the first one does not work, the second one should. 5  Schematic and Layout  The complete design files including schematic and layout for the NANO USB stick is available upon request from lpwsupport@ti.com   6  Document history  Revision Date Description/Changes - 2011-06-03 First revision. 1.0 2011-08-15 Updated with safety information EVALUATION BOARD/KIT/MODULE (EVM) ADDITIONAL TERMS

It should not be used as all or part of a finished end product.  Your Sole Responsibility and Risk. You acknowledge, represent and agree that:  1.  You  have  unique  knowledge  concerning  Federal,  State  and  local  regulatory  requirements (including but not limited to Food and Drug Administration regulations, if applicable) which relate to  your  products  and  which  relate  to  your  use  (and/or  that  of  your  employees,  affiliates, contractors or designees) of the EVM for evaluation, testing and other purposes.  2.  You have full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety and compliance of your products with all such laws and other applicable regulatory requirements, and also to assure the safety of any activities to be conducted by you and/or your employees, affiliates, contractors or designees, using  the  EVM.  Further,  you  are  responsible  to  assure  that  any  interfaces  (electronic  and/or mechanical)  between  the  EVM  and  any  human  body  are  designed  with  suitable  isolation  and means to safely limit accessible leakage currents to minimize the risk of electrical shock hazard.  3.  You will employ reasonable safeguards to ensure that your use of the EVM will not result in any property  damage,  injury  or  death,  even  if  the  EVM  should  fail  to  perform  as  described  or expected.  4. You  will  take  care  of  proper  disposal  and  recycling  of  the  EVM’s  electronic  components  and packing materials  Certain Instructions. It is important to operate this EVM within TI’s recommended specifications and environmental considerations per the user guidelines. Exceeding the specified EVM ratings (including but  not  limited  to  input  and  output  voltage,  current,  power,  and  environmental  ranges)  may  cause property  damage,  personal  injury  or  death.  If  there  are  questions  concerning  these  ratings  please contact a  TI field representative  prior to connecting interface  electronics including  input power and intended  loads.  Any  loads  applied  outside  of  the  specified  output  range  may  result  in  unintended and/or  inaccurate  operation  and/or  possible  permanent  damage  to  the  EVM  and/or  interface electronics. Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification, please contact a TI field representative. During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than 60 C as long as the input  and  output  are  maintained  at  a  normal  ambient  operating  temperature.  These  components include  but  are  not  limited  to  linear  regulators,  switching  transistors,  pass  transistors,  and  current sense resistors which can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing  measurement  probes  near  these  devices  during  normal  operation,  please  be  aware that  these  devices  may  be  very  warm  to  the  touch.  As  with  all  electronic  evaluation  tools,  only qualified  personnel  knowledgeable  in  electronic  measurement  and  diagnostics  normally  found  in development environments should use these EVMs  Agreement to Defend, Indemnify and Hold Harmless. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold TI, its  licensors  and  their  representatives  harmless  from  and  against  any  and  all  claims,  damages, losses, expenses, costs and liabilities (collectively, "Claims") arising out of or in connection with any use of the EVM that is not in accordance with the terms of the agreement. This obligation shall apply whether Claims arise under law of tort or contract or any other legal theory, and even if the EVM fails to perform as described or expected.   Safety-Critical or Life-Critical Applications. If you intend to evaluate the components for possible use  in  safety  critical  applications  (such  as  life  support)  where  a  failure  of  the  TI  product  would reasonably  be  expected  to  cause  severe  personal  injury  or  death,  such  as  devices  which  are
      21/21 classified as FDA Class III or similar classification, then you must specifically notify TI of such intent and enter into a separate Assurance and Indemnity Agreement.
