Hello e2e/staff -
I have a few questions which I am struggling to find answers to on the various cc256x wiki pages. I am interested in evaluating the cc2564 as a dual-mode HCI solution with a cheap msp430 development kit, with my focus being on the low energy portion. I will attempt to enumerate my questions as concisely as possible:
- Does the ez430-rf256x come with the cc2564? The cc256x demos and sample code wiki indicates that it supports the SPPLE demo project which would indicate it does come with the cc2564, but the product page indicates it only comes with the cc2560 and also mentions the MindTree stack which I know is no longer supported... so that makes me think the page is horribly out of date.
- Basically, could somebody please elaborate on what exactly is included with the ez430+rf2564 EVM and where I can see the most up to date product and ordering page?
- To what extent does the ez430-rf256x EVM support CodeComposerStudio as a development environment?The CC256x EVM wiki page lists CCS under all the other EVM's except for the ez430 one, yet the CC256x_MSP430_Bluetopia_Basic_Demo_APPS wiki page shows using CCS to run the demos.
- Assuming it can be done as shown on the above mentioned wiki page, are the demo applications small enough to run within the 16KB code limit of the free version of CCS? If not, how much is the license for the full version of CCS?
- Again assuming it can be done, does CCS supported breakpoint level debugging of the demo applications when running on the ez430? Does this require the full version of CCS or can it be done on the free version as well?
- In what format is the bluetooth stack distributed? Obviously the cc2564 has stuff running on it which exposes the HCI, and that cannot be modified by my the customer. Is the host stack which is running on the ez430 is reflashed when I recompile and reflash a demo program such as the SPPLE demo? If so, do we have source code level access to that stack? I'm wondering if it would be possible to port the Bluetopia stack which supports the msp430 to another architecture (besides the M3/M4 which are already listed.
Please provide any information you can about the ez430+rf256x with a focus on the cc2564 and using the LE demo applications with CodeComposerStudio.
Thanks in advance for your time.
