TI CC2564 With MSP-EXP430F5438 hciattach initialization timeout

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2564, MSP430F5438A, TUSB3410

I'm trying to download the TIInit_6.6.15.bts to the chip CC2564 using BlueZ on my linux PC.

These are the steps I did:
1) Hardware Setup: TICC2564 small board connected to MSP-EXP430F5438 Experimental Board
2) Plug in the USB cable connected to the board to my linux PC. It then appear as a USB device on my PC.
3) Execute command: sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0451 product=0xf500
This is in order to install the USB-Serial driver for the board. The result is the board is recognised as /dev/ttyUSB0 on my PC.

4) Next, to download the TIInit_6.6.15.bts to the board, I did:
hciattach /dev/ttyUSB0 texas 115200

5) It fails and the only console message that appear is: Initialization timeout.

I attached the bts file 6840.1070.TIInit_6.6.15.bts.zipused.

Anyone can advise how do I download the bts to the board using BlueZ? Thanks.

Hi,

How did you load BlueZ on MSP430F5438A? I don't this it is feasible? Instead you can you the Bluetopia stack provided royalty free for CC256x devices.

Hi,

Thank you for your response.

I'm using bypass mode, where my linux PC will directly control TI CC2564 via the USB-serial interface.

BlueZ is installed on my linux PC.

My guess is that I need the right linux driver to install the USB-Serial interface. Using a generic usbserial driver on Linux does not seem to work. I tried doing a serial loopback test, but it fails. On the MSP430F5438A board, it's using the TUSB3410 usb-serial converter.

Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

Regards

Yuqin

Hi,

So you will be only interacting with the CC2564 using HCI commands interface.

Please make sure you have taken care of first three steps from here http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC256x_Testing_Guide

For Service pack(TIInit_x.x.x.bts) download, please refer to the hciattach.c and hciattach_ti.c files in blueZ
