CC2564C: How to combine two BT Classic profiles togeather? [HFP & SPP?]

I'm using this  CC256XCQFN-EM board by the way.

Hi Gokulnath,

Let's begin by addressing the correct profiles to use:

You can combine demos by combining application code. Please see this app note for a reference.

other suggestions of what audio codec be used / MCU suggestions (battery operated applications) etc.

     I think your current setup is a good start. How do you plan to interface the CC3200AUDBOOST?

My 3rd purpose is to use an existing BT device(cannot change this method) that resumes Audio call streaming to my device if I send some custom char(cannot change this either preset custom ASCII Char) via BT like writing in the console for eg.

     I think this should be possible with a combination of HSP and SPP. You may also need HFP.

Two or more Bluetooth profiles can be combined by adding in the relevant functions. Please review the app note above for more details.

The short audio note will probably require an audio file stored on the MCU (or external memory) and the A3DP profile. This will definitely add complexity to your project.

Hello Jacob,

Thanks for the reply and I really appreciate the Time & Patience.

I'll check the app note details and verify it & will get back.

For now, I'm following this "CC2564C TI Dual-Mode Bluetooth® Stack on MSP432 MCUs" to interface the AUD boost. once the PoC is complete I'll make a new PCB. so other MCU/ Codec/design/common design problems to avoid..... suggestions are welcome!!!

My use case: in the end, I need a power-efficient battery-operated product and I'll be designing a PCB using Altium for this product.

Thanks a lot I shall do the same.

Yeah !! but it's alright let me dig inside the BT Codes. I'll use the internal one and A3dp also I shall combine.

on a Curious Note: I would like to play the beep sound as a BT connection/Disconnection Indication inside my BT headphones for which I don't need to transfer any Audio over BT. I would just like to play it from my preset saved Audio file from MCU memory I guess. How can I achieve that?

3) send some two-way 2- char data in ASCII format.

SPP

Just an update on this! is it possible to send oneway one or 2 single char data only using the HFP profile? 

I'm just Translating an old product that I use to develop with Bluegiga under Iwarp API. on this I just use the "Echo" command and then concatenate "my data" to my already connected HFP AG to achieve this Data sending purpose. Now I'm just transferring it to TI based.

Any suggestions on the MCU? MSP432 or STM32F series? Tiva? or other MCU's? Thanks a lot.

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead.

Hello Jacob, 
I just found this when I was going through the manual which you sent me :

under section 8:
HFP related:
• [OpenHFServer] –This function is responsible for opening a serial port or server on the local device. This function opens the serial port server on the specified RFCOMM channel. 

Any command available to take advantage of this above mentioned "Serial port?" to send Data (Sort of AT Commands?)

can it be used to send a single char command?  Like "Echo" Command from Bluegiga Iwarp API?

My situation requires sending Audio &data(similar to AT Commands) through the same Bluetooth profile

Thanks in Advance

Hi Gokulnath,

I'll respond here tomorrow or on Wednesday.

Best,

Jacob

************************Update********************************* 

After some more digging into my product requirements & Reverse engineering my existing soon to be obsolete(BT 3.0) product... works as of now. these are the exact specs I need(BT 4.2 or greater or  >5.0 is preferred) that's y CC2564C.

I can use HSP or HFP only. on top of this, I need this below functionality to interface with the existing product and other profiles Cannot be used due to security requirements.

My current obsolete setup on (headphones) Bluegiga "WT-32I" I use HFP only and then I use the "Echo" command to send data From my Bluegiga to my proprietary "AG"  for my concerned use under IWARP API. 

I believe it uses RFcomm link to achieve this! 

How can I access Rfcomm function under HFP/HSP profile on CC2564C? 

I want to port this functionality to TI.

CC256XMSP432BTBLESW_4.2.1.1

I'm using the above stack as of now. I'm unable to see the Volume up& down controls on the stack for the HFP profile. I can only see that in HSP! is it normal or am I using the old stack? if I understand well HFP profile is better than HSP....  Also could you please let me know when can I possibly get a 5.0 or 5.1 stacks for CC2564C?
 
Correct me on the above.

Ofc Finally I also want to play a beep (locally on my headphones.... not over BT) to indicate tonal notification of BT Connection/Disconnection 

Thank you and awaiting your valuable input.
