Use C/C++ language Runs on Windows^® through Eclipse^®-based integrated development environment (IDE) 

Single installer package with support for:

• ​Wi-Fi + Bluetooth combo solution
  • Wi-Fi solutions
  • Bluetooth (Basic Rate, Enhanced Data Rate and Bluetooth Low Energy)
• Sample applications for many popular use cases like
  • Connecting to cloud services
  • Audio-over-Bluetooth/Wi-Fi

Setup Development Environment

Preparing for Hardware

The user needs to prepare for hardware as following:

• WISE-1530, WISE-1500 and WISE-ED22.
• 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz) Wireless Access Point (AP).
• PC running the Microsoft Windows 7 operating systems

Please refer to the following steps for setup a WISE series of boards before using WISE-1520.

Step01: Please prepare boards as below.

① WISE-1530

② WISE-1500

③ WISE-ED22

④ WISE-ED22 reset button

⑤ CN2 on WISE-1500

⑥ SW3 on WISE-1500    

• Pleas check pin1 and pin2 to “OFF” as default.
• Switch pin2 to decide whether running “backup to default” while device

booting. “ON”: enabled, “OFF”: disable

⑦ WISE-1530 reset button, one button on WISE-1500 and the other on WISE-ED22

⑧ Micro USB connector    

• Drag-n-drop programming
• Serial port and debugging
• Power supplies for UART1 debug port

⑨ RF connector

Step02: Connect the WISE-ED22 to PC using micro-USB cable.

• Install Driver ( Download latest driver )

• The device will be visible in the Device Manager as below, user can use serial tools (putty, tera term ...etc.) to key-in command. 

WICED Studio

The user can refer to the following steps for setup WICED Studio with WISE-1530 SDK.

Windows Install

1. Download WICED-Studio-4.1.1.8-IDE-Installer.exe.zip
2. Extract the installer exe from the zip file to temp folder on your computer; do not execute the installer from the zip file
3. Double click the installer exe to install WICED Studio as below picture

4. After installation in completed, launch WICED Studio IDE from shortcut on desktop
5. When you see the Select WICED Platform page, choose the 43xxx_Wi-Fi item. You can change in "WICED Platform"  in SDK toolbar also.

Copy patch file

1. Download and unzip WISE-1530_SDK_4.1.8_platform_patch.zip​
2. Copy platforms and WICED folders to <SDK folder>\43xxx_Wi-Fi\ and select replace

Build Source File

Make a "Make Target" file

       Step1: In Make Target window click mouse right button

       Step2: Select New...

       Step3: Type "snip.gpio-WISE_1530"

Field explanation: snip.gpio-WISE_1530

• snip.gpio: application project name
• WISE_1530: platform name, for WISE-1530 platform don't change this field 

​       

Build Project

Double click "Make Target" file to build project.

It is build complete when you see below 

Generate a Programming File

It will generate three bin files in <SDK folder>\43xxx_Wi-Fi\build folder when build complete.

1. Bootloader: waf.bootloader-NoOS-WISE_1530.bin 
2. DCT( Device Configuration Table): DCT.bin:
3. Application: snip.gpio-WISE_1530.bin

Download and install J-Link software, we need J-Flash tool to combine three bin files for programming.

Launch J-Flash

Open bootloader bin file

Merge DCT bin file

Merge application bin file

Save as a final bin file

Programming 

Generate a programming file then use WISE-ED22 to program WISE-1530. User can refer WISE-ED22 Drag-n-drop Programming section.
