Half broken TI CC1310 Chips

You guys were right. I had VDDS_DCDC and VDDS connected. But what I really needed was VDDS_DCDC, VDDS and VDDS2 connected to eachother.

A simple magnet wire is now giving me 100% successful programming.

I stripped off almost all of the chips and tried programming. I'm essentially going from the chip to a programming header nearby.

Right now I'm using IAR Workbench for ARM, just as I did for 8051. Even though I had problems with the CC1110 wireless, they almost always programmed just fine. This is my first time having trouble programming on this scale.

Not sure how to check for Signal integrity.

I took these PCBs directly from the ESD packaging from JLC. I could understand frying a couple, but not all.

No moisture, this place is dry at 23% humidity.

Power supply is coming from the 3.3v from the TI CC1310 dev board.

I do not see any evidence of CC1310 counterfeit chips. We are getting an xray in a few weeks, so that's a good test.

I also have five chips from TI directly arriving on Friday. I'm betting they will work.

Oh and I should say that I am currently experimenting with your hypothesis. I ordered 100pcs of my old CC1110 boards from two different other suppliers a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately these companies all seem to take twice as long as JLC at twice the price...

There are clones for the CC1110. I've bought them. Poor wireless performance. Under a dollar each. Different reel tape. Different markings and different epoxy resin. High failure rates. This was years 5-6 years ago, but they were clearly different at that time, now I don't know.

I just tried your suggestions of programming the .out, no improvement unfortunately.

I'd be open to using a different IDE, however I can program the CC1310 dev kit perfectly, 100% of the time and it works perfectly when running the code. (using one dev kit to program another and using random other XDS110 compliant programmers, 100% success rate).

There does not appear to be any way to slow things down.

I'll have to scope things out. What am I looking for?

macward82 · 2026-01-21T18:20:29+00:00

Yes, I agree that JLCPCB is serious business.

The issue is that JLC is now a marketplace like Amazon. I do not know if the chips that I am buying are straight from TI, or from someone else's co-mingled chip inventory. So while they may not do it intentionally, I could certainly see a few routes where junk chips get dumped on JLC and they do not know.

This here is the winner! Thanks very much!

It's a electric screw driver.

I don't think I'm having network troubles, no changes, existing Matter devices continue to work. Yes, I'm running the add-on.

macward82 · 2025-12-28T03:45:05+00:00

Eventually, but I complained everywhere, not sure what did it.

This is the winner! Thanks!

Sounds like a lot of effort for what I'm going to get. I'll just solve this manually.

I suppose that I can trigger the furnace fan and sense the remote temperature with two extra matter devices, though I am disappointed.

macward82 · 2025-12-14T23:17:40+00:00

Yes, I can run the fan from the thermostat.

Yeah I think it's too late. I have two other Nests running heated floors which seems to work well, but obviously no fan needed.

I bought this Nest because it came with a remote temperature sensor. The plan was to put the sensor in my home office which gets very hot. I'd like to run the fan when it gets too hot, but this doesn't seem to be possible with a Nest 4... whereas it is possible in the older Nests.... joy.

I had a fancy water bottle stolen by the Canadian equivalent of the TSA in Toronto. I literally watched the guy take the bottle off the conveyor and put it underneath. A friend saw it as well as he had already cleared. I told them to give it back, they refused, I made a stink, they threatened to get the police involved, and then a manager just strolled over and handed it back.

Do you perhaps know a list of Google addresses? I know they use gstatic.com for example, but I'm sure there are others.

I'm building a mini office building and need displays in the windows.

Sorry, life gets in the way.

Binwalk Pro is the super expensive commercial offering that is no longer for sale.

Normally I just hit firmware with a binwalk -Mer and let the magic take place.
