Edge router for CC2650

Pradeep Singh

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650, CC2531EMK, CC2650EMK, CC3200, CC2650STK, CC2531

I had tested the multi role as well as the cc2650 web demo on my device now would like to send data over internet.
can you please suggest me which device to buy for testing?
Is beaglebone will work? and as it dosn't have Bluetooth so what to do?

any other other with wifi as in beaglebone we need to connect via Wire to connect with Internet.

Thanks

Is this device is useful for beginners?
As i don't have experience over sending data via LowPan.
IS any sample program with cc1320 is available?

If you mean to run Contiki 6lbr, BeagleBone black or Raspberry Pi 2 are both good choice. You also need to buy a CC2531EMK to work as slip radio.

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

so there is no single device which can work for both function that is to connect to cc2650 and then transfer data over internet?

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

If you run BLE on CC2650 and connect it to Smart Phone App, you can send data to internet.

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

Yeah that i had tried but now want to create a mesh network of various cc2650 and then send data over internet.
One more thing if i buy the BeagleBone black or Raspberry Pi 2 do i need to buy a CC2531EMK or cc2650 can work as a slip radio?
As i saw some where that with beagleBone we need a Bluetooth Low Energy (type 4) USB adaptor to connect the SensorTag to the BeagleBone. Is this will work?

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

If you run Contiki 6lbr on BBB, you will need to buy CC2531EMK to act as slip radio.

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

So the best will be that i Buy a BBB and a CC2531EMK.
Then is there any need to buy Bluetooth 4.0?

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

If you intend to run Contiki 6LowPAN, BBB with CC2531EMK is enough. By the way, you will also need to buy CC Debugger to program CC2531EMK.

I am having a Smart RF 06 board that will work with it?
and is there any board which support both wifi and Bluetooth?

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

You should be able to use SmartRF06 and CC2650EMK as slip radio. As for EVB support WiFi and BLE, you can refer to www.ti.com/.../TIDC-BLE-TO-WIFI-IOT-GATEWAY

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

So if i use this Board do i still need to have a BBB?

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

www.ti.com/.../TIDC-BLE-TO-WIFI-IOT-GATEWAY runs BLE to WiFi bridge only. It doesn't run 6LowPAN.

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

But cc2650 is have 6LowPan feature. It that not going to work?

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

It's nothing to do with cc2650. The problem is that Contiki 6lbr doesn't run on CC3200 so the reference design can't run 6LowPAN now.

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

So any solution for that?
CAn you suggest me something which can be useful to send data over internet using 6LowPan?

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

If you want to use 6LowPAN, the reference design is BBB with CC2531EMK or CC2650DK as slip radio.

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

I am having cc2650EM and CC2650STK wil that going to work for me as a slip radio?

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

Yes, it could be. You can refer to sunmaysky.blogspot.tw/.../how-to-build-contiki-6lbr-slip-radio-on.html

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

Thanks Chen on this form.
i would like to know one more thing
If i would like to send some data from one board to another how that can be done?
I am able to receive data from mobile phone so board can read data that is for sure but how to send data from board is the issue as if now.
Thanks

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

Do you mean to do this in Contiki 6LowPAN or BLE?

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

First i am trying it with BLE in CCS.

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

Current BLE stack only support communication between BLE central and peripheral. You can do it with SimpleBLECentral and SimpleBLEPeripheral.

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

Yeah i am using them only.
but not able to write data from one device and send it to other.

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Expert 2475 points

Any Suggestion Chen?

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

To understand communication between BLE central and Peripheral, I suggest you to study GATT protocol first. You can refer to www.safaribooksonline.com/.../ch04.html

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

Yeah i had been through the GATT Protocol and was able to create a profile which can read and write but the problem now is that i can send data and while i write something its not getting properly receive
For example if i send 0x06 its receiving 0x03 and like that.
Is there sample code available?

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

Hey Chen,
I would like to know something.
For creating a mesh network of various sensor tag/CC2650 what is the Fastest and easiest way?
Is it multi role or Using 6LowPan?
Any help will be great!

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

If you only have CC2650 SensorTag, I would suggest Contiki 6LowPAN.

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

I have Sensor tag, SmartRF06 Board so Just having BBB will solve the issue?
I just need to upload the example code onto them to create a network?
and will the sensor tag will be able to communicate between each other?
For e. suppose i want that sensor a is connected to sensor B and sensor B is connected to edge router then Can sensor B will be able to send sensor A's Data to edge router?

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

Yes, nodes in 6LowPAN can communicate each other. However, there are limited documents about Contiki 6LowPAN and you need to take time to study source code by yourself.

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

Okay.
By source code you mean the code available in example?

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

Yes.

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

Hey YiKai,
I would like to know one more thing as Cc2650 Natively support 6LowPan can create a mesh network between them?
I was trying to send data from one to another but m not able to read the data at other side.
Can you guide me in that?

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

Try to refer to sunmaysky.blogspot.tw/.../how-to-build-dtls-example-for.html

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

But for this i need edge router?
I like to know whether data is getting transfers from one device to another or not

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

To setup Contiki 6LowPAN network, you always need a edge router. You can run echo server on another Contiki node and it should work.

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

but where edge router will send data?
I am not connecting it to internet.
First i would like to check whter data is getting transfers from one device to another or not.

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

To know if data is getting transfers from one device to another or not, you an use 6LowPAN sniffer. You can refer to sunmaysky.blogspot.tw/.../how-to-setup-contiki-sniffer-for.html

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

can't we check it with glowing a LED on the other one?
as i don't have a USE Dongle

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

Since you don't know if the message is really sent out by sender or not received by receiver, where do you put LED blink in your code. I suggest you to buy a CC2531 USB dongle and CC Debugger for sniffer purpose.

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

Message has been send that i had checked with cc2650 and Mobile as when data is being transmitted to mobile value is getting change.
When mobile reply back led is getting on so data is getting received also.
I am just not able to read data while in case of two cc2650

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

Which protocol do you use now? BLE or Contiki 6LowPAN?

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

Using BLE only.
As was not able to change code in Contiki.

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

I think you are using Contiki. Anyway, if you use BLE, you can not do P2P communication between two BLE peripheral nodes.

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

yes i know two peripheral can not communicate that's why one is central and another is peripheral.

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

If you use BLE central and peripheral, what is your problem?

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

Problem is that m not able to read the Profile in the device where data is being recived.
as if i will be able to do so i will be able to perform task according to that only.

0 YiKai Chen over 8 years ago in reply to Pradeep Singh

Guru 735455 points

I don't get your point. Can you elaborate?

0 Pradeep Singh over 8 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

Expert 2475 points

i had set

uint8_t valueToCopy;

valueToCopy = 0x05;

Then sending this function on a key press:
"SimpleProfile_SetParameter(SIMPLEPROFILE_CHAR1, sizeof(uint8_t), &valueToCopy);"

and while receiving it i am using:

"SimpleProfile_GetParameter(SIMPLEPROFILE_CHAR1, &newValue);"

and then checking "

if ((uint16_t)newValue==0x05)
{
PIN_setOutputValue(hGpioPin, Board_LED2, Board_LED_ON);
} "

So this is working fine in case of mobile and cc2650 but not is cc2650-cc2650 .
