TI CC3200 & TICC3220 Simplelink MCUs Initialization

"First let me start with my time lapse, I had not been in touch to you all since past 2 years now finally I have started again posting and will try continue. I stopped earlier posting as had been carried away with my Masters. I have been using TI CC3200 MCU since I could get hands upon the Lauchpad/Dev Boards in India (I had to get them from UK with help of a relative). Also my Thesis of Masters has been on IOT with implementation on TI-CC3200 MCUs cluster"

"This product has been changing, improved upon so much that even TI could not keep up with documentation, I will try and help any one who is interested with this MCUs. In my Upcoming Posts I will have a step by step for each of this MCUs for NOOB and Pros"

The TI-CC3200

SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® and Internet-of-Things solution, a Single-Chip Wireless MCU. http://www.ti.com/product/CC3200

This MCU was launched back in first quater of 2014 and many revised version have been released since then (current Rev. F). Soon this single chip MCU was the chip for IOT, voted chip of the year 2014 and 15. this series of MCU are also called as 1st generation of MCUs, TI, realizing upon its potential has been constantly and rapidly creating revisions of CC3200 and Have now released the 2nd generation of MCUs CC3220.
