Bluetooth visibility

I am looking at the SPPDemo, compiled with IAR. I have both the MSP430EXP5438 & PAN1315ETU as well as a custom made 5438 & PAN1325A combination working (taking into account the different patch arrays)


I believe the stonestreet bluetooth stack is working. I can run a client/inquiry and see 2 neighbouring bluetooth
 cell phones as per the attached.


When I try to search from the cell phone the SPPDemo is not visible. I tried the "SetDiscoverability", "SetConnectability" but that doesn't seem to change the fact that device remains invisible. Why is that  and
 how can ensure the device is visible ?

  • Hi,

    Can you look at this thread here for the PAN 1325 patch see if that makes any difference for you? What application are you using on the cell phone to search for the MSP430 (or are you searching from the Bluetooth setttings ?). Could you check if setting a name for the device using SetLocalName makes any difference ?

    Thanks,

  • Hi,


    Yes, setting the local name made it visible. It worked on my target hardware the PAN1325 + 5438A. However, it didn't work on the PAN1315ETU + MSP 5438 experimenter board. That's not a big deal to me since I'll just continue with the target hardware which is a custom build. With the PAN1315ETU, when I run the search from my cell phone I get a "?       " with no name even though the name has been set through "SetLocalName". I think it is recognising the presence of the device but not translating the name properly.

    I'll be on holiday for a week so if I don't reply promptly that's the reason. Thanks for your help so far.

  • Hi,

    Is the patch being used for the PAN1315 setup as well? Also, can you set the Local Name before searching from the Cell phone as well as power cycle the device once to see if it gets the updated name?

    Thanks,

  • Apologies for the delayed response. This worked as per the attached, so I'll close this as answered. Thanks for your support.
