SimpleLink SDK Plugins are designed to work in tandem to the microprocessor specific SDK. This plugin is designed to work alongside the SimpleLink MSP432 SDK and relies on several core elements within this SDK. Without a prior installation of the SimpleLink MSP432 SDK, the SimpleLink MSP432 SDK WiFi Plugin will not work. While testing of this software package was performed on release 1.20.00.45 of the SDK, it is likely that it will also work with newer versions of the SDK.
This guide explains how to install the SimpleLinkTM MSP432 WiFi Plugin and lists the various other tools required to get started with the first application.
The user is expected to have the following:
Important note:
It is recommended to update the service-pack to the latest service-pack available. The service-pack can be found in <SDK_INSTALL_DIR>/tools/cc31xx_tools/servicepack-cc3x20
Verify that the jumpers on the CC31XXEMUBOOST should be connected as shown in the next figure:
Connect the CC3100BOOST to the CC31XXEMUBOOST as shown in the next figure:
Download CCS from CCS 7.0.0
During the installation, the following options are recommended
We recommend that you use the default installation folder
Make sure that SimpleLink CC3x Wireless MCUs is selected. You can select additional processor support options as needed.
To use a debug probe, select TI XDS Debug Probe Support and any other options you would like.

and Re-start CCS. CCS will automatically detect the latest install.<FREERTOS_INSTALL_PATH>
and them press OKChoose Window > Preferences > Code Composer Studio > products
if the window appear it means that new products have been discovered, if the products mentioned above are in the list, choose them and choose install.
This section will show how to import/build/load an example
This is not available in the SDK Beta Release. Will be available for GA release
Select the Browse button in the Import CCS Eclipse Projects dialog and select the the directory <Plugin_INSTALL_DIR>/examples
The SDK provides TI-RTOS and FreeRTOS based examples. TI-RTOS and FreeRTOS examples have the word “tirtos” or “freertos” in the project name
CCS picks both CCS and GCC based examples.
Importing TI-RTOS and FreeRTOS examples will bring in (import) kernel projects too in the same workspace. The kernel project is a dependent project and will be automatically built when the example is built.
For more details and how change configurations look at the <Plugin_INSTALL_DIR>/docs/simplelink_mcu_sdk/Users_Guide.html
document.
Select any Code Example you would like to use. In this example network_terminal_MSP_EXP432P401R_freertos_ccs is chosen and choose finish.
