LAUNCHXL-CC1352R1: Will DMM support other protocols beside WSN Node and BLE?

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC1352R1

I see the following sentence on the DMM section of the CC13x2 user's guide : "Only BLE and WSN Node are supported at this time. Creating new stack types is not supported."  and I am wonder if support for, for example,   BLE and Thread  (i.e. two protocols that use concurrently the 2.4GHz antenna)  will ever be available on this platform. Do you see it happening in the near future?... I know from what I read that the DMM is on a experimental stage but some hints or at least reassurance that this is indeed plausible, would help ;)

Thanks!

  • Hi IAr,

    Support for BLE+ZigBee is scheduled to be released for the Q4 release. In addition, we will provide documentation for how to integrate a proprietary stack with DMM, e.g. BLE+Proprietary stack.
  • Try to refer to Sean M's relpy in e2e.ti.com/.../752084
  • Hi IAr,

    What version of the documentation are you reading (what SDK version are the docs part of)?

    The DMM itself do not limit functionality to these two stacks, the "Role" enums are however set when building the library which means you can't change them. In the latest DMM, there is also an role added for the TI 15.4 stack as well as two "reserved" roles that can be used when the stack do not fit one of the pre-defined roles. In the upcoming SDK, there will ZigBee will also be part of the available roles.

    Not that this itself do not mean that any combination of stacks is possible, I would recommend you to have a look at the use-cases characterized by TI, shipped as examples.

    Regarding BLE + Thread, there is no plans for this as of today. Simply looking at the frequency of the two stacks, there is no limitations to that it must be one Sub-GHz stack + one 2.4 GHz stack. There is examples of for example TI 15.4 + BLE where both use 2.4 GHz.
