CC3000 Wi-Fi module library¶

Info¶

This is the low level driver for TI's SimpleLink CC3000 device.
Port from Avnet's Wi-Go KEIL code (based on TI's CC3000 code).
Special thanks to Jim Carver from Avnet for providing the Wi-Go board and for his assistance.
See here for a short video about what can be done with the Wi-Go board.

Differences with TI's original code¶

The code functionality stays exactly the same.
In order to make it easier to use the code, following changes were made :

• Addition of a GlobalAssigns.h file containing defines for all low level I/O and conditional compiler controls.
  
• The SPI and HCI code are joined into one file.
• The include list has been rearranged - Only #include "wlan.h" is needed in the user API.
  
• Part of the CC3000's user eeprom memory is used to store additional info (52 bytes in NVMEM_USER_FILE_1):
  • 1 byte for the First time config parameter (Useful when connecting).
  • 2 bytes for the PatchProgrammer version.
  • 2 bytes for the Service Pack version (used in the PatchProgrammer code).
  • 3 bytes for the Driver Version (used in the PatchProgrammer code).
  • 3 bytes for the Firmware Version (used in the PatchProgrammer code).
  • 1 byte for CIK validation.
  • 40 bytes for the CIK data (Client Interface Key - used with the exosite).

Using the Library¶

A user API is needed to access the CC3000 functions.
The PatchProgrammer code is an example of how the user API is implemented.

API documentation¶

Due to a little problem with the links on the mbed site, the API documentation is not directly accessible (will be solved in a next release).
Currently, it is only accessible by adding modules.html to the API doc link: http://mbed.org/users/frankvnk/code/CC3000_Hostdriver/docs/tip/modules.html
