CC2652R: Reading drivers from ROM

Frank Ridder

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2642R, CC2652R

The datasheet of the CC2652R states: "TI-RTOS, drivers, Bootloader, Bluetooth® 5 Low Energy Controller, and IEEE 802.15.4 MAC in ROM for optimized application size" . My question is how would I be able to point to these libraries within my code or does this happen automatically when using the right driver for the CC2642R board.

I also have another question surrounding ROM. Would it be possible for me to change the content of the ROM. For example change the bootloader or add extra libraries?

Hi Frank,

To provided software (such as the TI Drivers in the SDK) use the ROM content to the extent it is possible to do so. You should not need to take any "extra steps" to leverage this.

You can not change the content of the ROM, it is a "Read-Only-Memory" that can be neither erased or re-programmed.

Hello M-W,

Oke, I guessed it wasn't using it because I am losing a lot of space to the OpenThread library but I guess that isn't included within ROM.

Thank you for the answer,

With kind regards,

Frank Ridder

Hi Frank,

It is mostly BLE that has some parts in ROM, most of the software stacks are not in ROM.
