Successful build of Sniffle for CC2651P3? about sniffle HOT 7 CLOSED

The procedure you described sounds correct, so I’m not yet sure why it isn’t working for you. I’m away from my CC2651 board at the moment, but I have successfully tested it on the CC2651P3 (at least with SDK 5.40). I’ll make a build myself shortly and let you try it.

from sniffle.

Here's a build I made following largely the same steps you did. Unzip it, and flash it with Uniflash.
sniffle_cc2651p3.out.zip

By chance, did you forget to specify PLATFORM = CC2651P31 when you invoked make sniffle.out and/or make load?

from sniffle.

Thank you! I loaded the sniffle_cc2651p3.out.zip and ran the scanner.py tool. It immediately showed output and appears to work.

I noticed the file that you provided is 2.2MB in size while the file I built is 1.6MB.

I attempted to isolate the problem by removing all references to other platforms from the makefile, but still ended up with a sniffle.out file size of 1.6MB that did not work.

I reverted to the original makefile in the master branch in case I inadvertently messed something up, then followed the steps I mentioned in the earlier post to build the file. I specified the platform with $ export PLATFORM=CC2651P31 and made sure that it was set prior to running make syscfg, make sniffle.out, and make load, the sniffle.out file was still 1.6MB and did not work when loaded to the CC2651P3 board.

I'm interested in building Sniffle, are there other recommendations to check?

How big is the firmware (.out ELF file) if you run make clean and then make CC2652R1F with an unmodified makefile? It should be around 2.2 MB as well. The hack around commenting out the sysconfig invocation (for bAcceptSyncInfo) is only needed for the CC2651 family.

The procedure I used to build for the CC2651P3 was:

1. Start with an unmodified makefile, and run make clean
2. Run make PLATFORM=CC2651P31 and watch the build proceed till it fails with the bAcceptSyncInfo error.
3. Comment out line 172 of the makefile (https://github.com/nccgroup/Sniffle/blob/master/fw/makefile#L172) and remove the bAcceptSyncInfo line from ti_radio_config.c.
4. Run make PLATFORM=CC2651P31 again

from sniffle.

When using $ make PLATFORM=CC2652R1F the sniffle.out firmware file is 1.6MB (as reported by ls -lh sniffle.out).

I will check that I set up the environment correctly.

Steps:
$ git checkout makefile
$ make clean
$ make PLATFORM=CC2652R1F
$ ls -lh sniffle.out

The sniffle.out file size is 1.6MB.

$ sha1sum sniffle.out (for the CC2652R1F platform)

I'm unable to verify if the file works correctly because I only have a CC2651P3 Development Kit.

I'm building this on an Ubuntu 22.04 OS machine.

Which compiler are you using? Use a compiler from this series: https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/gnu-rm

(they're now deprecated, but I had issues with their replacement)

I've been using gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major from there, but their last 10.3 release should also work.

from sniffle.

The gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major compiler works, thank you!

I used the 9-2019-q4-major release.

I downloaded the compiler from: https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/gnu-rm

The specific version I am using
gcc version 9.2.1 20191025 (release) [ARM/arm-9-branch revision 277599] (GNU Tools for Arm Embedded Processors 9-2019-q4-major)

I also tried the 10.3 release, but it did not work for me. At first, I used the 11.2 release (which also didn't work).

Below are the versions I tried in the imports.mak file ($(HOME)/ti/simplelink_cc13xx_cc26xx_sdk_6_10_00_29/imports.mak)

GCC_ARMCOMPILER         ?= /home/user/arm_tools/gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major # WORKS
#GCC_ARMCOMPILER        ?= /home/user/arm_tools/gcc-arm-11.2-2022.02-x86_64-arm-none-eabi # DOESN'T WORK
#GCC_ARMCOMPILER        ?= /home/user/arm_tools/gcc-arm-none-eabi-10.3-2021.10 # DOESN'T WORK
