Board pinout

The CC2650 Quick Start Guide provides the default pinout for the board.

Flashing the Device

Flashing RIOT is quite straight forward. The board comes with an XDS110 on-board debug probe that provides programming, flashing and debugging capabilities through the USB Micro-USB connector. Once either TI Uniflash or OpenOCD are installed just connect the board using the Micro-USB port to your computer and type:

make flash BOARD=cc2650-launchpad

To use OpenOCD instead of uniflash we need to set the PROGRAMMER environment variable, this is to enable OpenOCD instead of Uniflash.

export PROGRAMMER=openocd

Now we can just do make flash and make debug, this all using OpenOCD.

For detailed information about CC2650 MCUs as well as configuring, compiling RIOT and installation of flashing tools for CC2650 boards, see cc26xx_cc13xx_riot.
