TIDA-020032: Need example code for both BLE and CAN working together

Hello Premkiran,

I have assigned an expert to help you with your query.

Sincerely,

Jan

Hello,

 We should have an example ready by end of the week. We are using the rtls_master as the baseline.

   Best regards,

     David

Hello

Would we be able to connect an android phone having SimpleLink App, and then get the data via CAN for RSSI and AoA together?

Please also let us know when the example is available, and process to test the same.

regards,

Prem

Hello David, 

can you estimate when you are able to send our colleagues the example code that they can get the board running? 

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards, 

Robin 

Hi please let us know when this example would be available, as we would like to test our TIDA 020032 with it. We want to receive ApA and RSSI information together when BLE discovers and connect to 5.1 android phone. 

Hello,

 I'm in the process of releasing the example code, this might take a one or two more days. In the meantime please find attached a binary for you to test. This binary will automatically scan and connect to a rtls_slave.

rtls_master_CC26X2R1_TID_020032_tirtos_ccs.hex

As soon as it connects, the AoA and RSSI will be shown in a CAN message, please see the image below.

Best regards,

  David

Hello David,

Thanks for the above update.

Yes, we are able to get the message with Id 0x330 and some data, but to validate it, we need below info.

1. What is the Bluetooth device name appear on BT 5.1 device (Ex: Mobile) when we flash the above example on our TIDA-020032 board. For example, when we flash Project Zero, we are able to connect to a device called "Project Zero" on our mobile BT application.

2. We see 8 bytes of data receiving on trace window, but how to interpret which bytes are related to AoA and RSSI.

3. Do we have any conversion formula to convert the 8 byte data to extract AoA and RSSI.

4. Can you pls share if you have picture with Detection of TIDA board on BT 5.1 device.

Kindly help us in getting this info and redirect us if we missed anything.

The rtls_master is acting as central, so it is scanning instead of advertising.

            msgTxData[0] = 0;                   // Node number
            msgTxData[1] = LO_UINT16(avgDeg);   // Angle Average Low
            msgTxData[2] = HI_UINT16(avgDeg);   // Angle Average High
            msgTxData[3] = avgRssi;             // Average rssi
            msgTxData[4] = antResult->ch;       // channel
            msgTxData[5] = Not used
            msgTxData[6] = Not used
            msgTxData[7] = Not used
