CC3000 Wrong Firmware Version

[vicatcu]

Hi folks! Running the library I am hitting this message in examples:

Firmware V. : 1.10
Wrong firmware version!

I guess the good thing is that means I'm talking to the device successfully, right? Can you offer any guidance on how to upgrade the firmware on the CC3000? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Vic

Where did you purchase the board? Ours are all pre-installed & tested with latest version. If you purchased it elsewhere, you should be able to get the fight firmware from the TI website.

The library seems to be expecting version 13 though in the buildtest example sketch. See the line:

if (checkFirmwareVersion() != 0x113)

[adafruit_support_bill]

0x113 is the hexadecimal encoding of the firmware version.

Bill,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that suggest that the library currently expects cc3000 firmware version 1.19? The page below suggests that TI currently is at release version 1.11. Am I conflating version numbering systems? Or is Adafruit shipping modules with custom firmware running on the cc3000?

If you read the release notes, it is clear that you can't map the number that way: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php ... ease_Notes
I believe the version reported is an internal build number - not an external release number.

Hi Again Bill,

My colleague, Ken, ordered both a module (Ref Order #322782) and a shield (Ref Order #332762). Does that suffice?

Kind Regards,
Vic

Also, I'm asking a pretty generic question here. Not all of the examples in the library check for a particular firmware version. The buildtest example does though, and I was wondering why? I've seen people turned back to the forum from Git-Hub so I thought this would be the right place to ask the question.

We were asking about the module you are testing with. This is a very new and complex chip and the firmware is still evolving. We test each of our boards against the library. We cannot guarantee that it will work with other boards.

Support Team.......
you might wanna comment out the if(checkFirmwareVersion()in the buildtest.ino file.

Code: Select all

  /* Adafruit diagnostics
  if (checkFirmwareVersion() != 0x113) {
    Serial.println(F("Wrong firmware version!"));
    while (1);
    //Adafruit diagnostics
  }*/
   

End users shouldnt need to know this for simple testing and use, and should only be uncommented to include it for diag only when contacting support.
This should keep the chatter down in the trenches for the ADA sup team.
I just got mine @ 11/22/2013-14:30 -5 GMT, and I wired it up and it gave me the same B.S..
I just commented out the "checkFirmwareVersion() section " and it werked fine.

With the check
