CC256x HW eval tool

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2564

I've use  your Texas_InstrumentsCC256X_BT tool for RF testing my board with PAN1326 module

During service pack uploading I got error:

Sent: 0x01, 0xDD, 0xFD, 0x01, 0x01,
Returned: 0x04, 0x0E, 0x04, 0x01, 0xDD, 0xFD, 0x01,
Unsuccessful: Invalid return parameter

But in http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC256x_VS_HCI_Commands I see no HCI command with code 0xFDDD, and http://www.digitalsignallabs.com/hci-vs-commands.pdf also have no such command.

Can you point me to more detailed description of CC2564 vendor commands?

Also, is it possible to get full sequence of commands, issued by evaluation tool during tests? Or source code of BT_TOOL_EXE.jar? Thank you!

    Hi,

    0xFDDD is now added to the VS HCI command wiki.

    I think you are CC256x and not CC256xB, right? what is the Service pack you are downloading?

    I'm not sure about CC256x/256xB - I know only module name PAN1326.

    You are right - after taking bts file for 256x instead 256xB this error gone.

    But I still have second question, about test sequence. Can you send me source code for test tool? It have extremely unfriendly user interface and we want to include HW tests into our test system written on Python. Thank you!

    And one additional question: user gude for this tool requires to make reset before next test and send service pack again. Probably this tool keeps serial port open, because after reset it can't connect to module again:

    Processing BTS file...

    My module uses USB-UART for communication, which also resets together with module. It's impossible to reset module separately. Is it possible to make modification for tool, which closes serial port after each send/receive sequence?
    Thank you!

    Hi,

    Once the bootup procedure is done, you don't have to reset the board. you can download the SP (Service Pack) and start running the TX testing.
    As mentioned in the RF testing guide provided previously you will have to reset the board (and download the SP) after the TX testing.

    Make sure that after resetting the board you communication from BHET is fine.
