Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2540

Hello all.,

I want to know whether there are any free software tools available to Program CC2540 device of TI ., I know that IAR tools supports it but that will be costly for us., I am also aware of some of free RF tools available from TI like SmartRF Studio but what I am interested is in evaluating CC2540 device (like programming peripherals and stuff).,

Kindly let me know.,

Thanks so much.,

With best regards,

Nagaraj Hegde

    Hello,

    IAR is only compiler currently supported, and there are no other tools which will work I'm aware of.   For evaluation though, you could write a program on the PC which interfaces to the USBDongle - and even set one up as master, and one as slave.  This will not give you access to he peripherals however.   The BLE certified libraries are supplied as binaries and were compiled on IAR.

    Hello Nagaraj,

    If you load the USB dongle with hostTestRelease.hex, you can control it over the virtual com port with any program which can read/write to COM Port.  There is an example of JAVA on the TI wiki page, and we've also done a lot with C#.   If you run Btool , and look at the log, you will see the raw commands sent to the USB Dongle.
