Creating CC26xx Projects
To create a new CC26xx project
- Select the File > New > New Project menu item.
- Select the appropriate Generic CC26xx from the Categories list.
- Select the required project template type from the Templates list.
- Set the required project name and location directory.
- Click OK.
To build and debug an application the runs in Flash memory
- Select the project to work on by using the Project > Set Active Project menu option.
- Select the configuration you require by using the Build > Set Active Build Configuration menu option.
- Right click on the project node in the project explorer and select the Flash placement property.
- Build the project by using the Build > Build Project menu option.
- Connect to the appropriate target in the target window.
- Download and start debugging the current project by using Debug > Start Debugging.
CC26xx Project Specifics
Target Processor
Once a project has been created you can select different target processors by right clicking on the project node in the project explorer and selecting the Target Processor entry.
Selecting the target processor will specify the memory map that is used for the build and debug. You can view the selected memory map by right clicking on the project node in the project explorer and selecting Edit Memory Map.
Section Placement
CrossStudio for ARM supports CC26xx projects running applications in a number of different memory configurations. You can select the memory configuration you require by setting the Section Placement property.
For CC26xx projects the set of placements are:
- Flash application runs in internal Flash memory.
- Flash Vectors In RAM application run in Flash memory, exception vectors are in RAM.
- RAM application runs in RAM memory.
Stack and Heap Sizes
The default stack and heap sizes are set to be 256 and 256 bytes by default when a project is created.
Target Startup Code
The startup code CC26xx_Startup.s is common to all CC26xx processors. There are a set of preprocessor defines that configure the startup code and are documented in the startup file itself. The startup code calls out to a weak symbol SystemInit with the stack pointer set to the top of of SRAM. The SystemInit function can be used to set the CPU clock or configure any external memories prior to the C initialisation code as such it cannot access initialised static data. Note that the SystemInit() function is called with the stackpointer pointing to the end of the first block of SRAM.
The startup code declares symbolic names (and weak implementations) for each interrupt service routine, for example the GPIOIntHandler function will be called when the GPIO interrupt occurs. If you are porting code that has different interrupt service routines names then you can use preprocessor definitions to rename the declared symbolic name for example GPIOIntHandler=AON_GPIO_EDGE_IRQHandler.
Target Reset Script
The reset script CC26xx_Target.js is used by the debugger to reset the target board.
Memory Simulator
An CC26xx memory simulator is provided that simulates the memories of the various CC26xx devices. The memory simulation parameter (which is set by the Target Processor selection) specifies the device name, the size of the internal Flash and RAM memories.
CMSIS support
CMSIS header files and library are referenced as part of the new project setup. The Texas Instruments CC26xx CMSIS files and driverlib files are supplied.
CTL support
The file ctl_CC26xx.c implements the CTL system timer using the standard Cortex-M SysTick timer. The timer is configured to interrupt at approximately a 10 millisecond rate and increment the CTL system timer by 10 to give a millisecond timer.
The CTL interrupt support functions ctl_global_interrupts_set, ctl_set_priority, ctl_unmask_isr and ctl_mask_isr are implemented in this file. The implementation uses the lowest half of the available NVIC priorities (top bit set in the priority) for CTL interrupts.
