HCI and BT stack manual

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2560, MSP430BT5190, CC2500

Hi guys,

We are developing something based on PAN1315 and cc2560.

What we are looking for are something like "HCI programming/explanation guide" and "Bluetooth (Mindtree) protocol stack programmers' manual".

Does anybody know of the document like that?

thanks.

 

  • Kepei,

     

    Are you intending to develop using the MSP430 or Stellaris Microcontrollers. As you might have realized, these are needed to run the Bluetooth stack. The stack provided by Mindtree has a very good developer's guide covering many aspects.

  • That sure is a good guide doc. However I cannot find underlying information.

    Like, I can find to use specific function to get specific task done, but I wanna know underlying mechanisms.

    Also Like, I know to use bt_hci_vender_specific_command** to send vender specific HCI command to module, but I need to know what those HCI vender specific commands are, byte and byte.

    I think I saw similar document from CC2500 series product links, but there really are not much like application notes or design guide for PAN1315+CC256x.

     

    the situation in which I am now is, I need to send ANT frames from MSP430+PAN1315 board, but there is not sample codes in the MSPEXP-PAN13xx BT-ANT SDK, neither could I find specific manual to guide me doing this.

     

    Please help me.

  • Kepei,

     

    Are you trying to achieve something in particular? The stack takes care of all the HCI commands for you, so there's no need for using them.

  • Actually, as I wrote before, I just wanna send data from the MSP430 board with PAN1315, through the ANT channel.

    Simple task but I cannot find reference now...

    The module we are using is PAN-1313ETU rev 1.1, supporting both ANT+ and Bluetooth communication in a single module.

    (we are trying to use ANT+ channel now.)

  • Kepei,

     

    If that's what you need, HCI commands are unnecessary. What you should look at is the ANT code provided here:

    http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/cc2567-pan1327ant-btkit.html

    And the following Wiki:

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC2567-PAN1327_Dual_Mode_ANT_%26_Bluetooth_Wiki?DCMP=wtbu_wcs_2011&HQS=Other+OT+cc2567-pan1327-wiki

  • Gustavo,

    Thanks. There is a SDK of newer version. I'll check that first.

  • Seriously, I still need HCI manual, especially for ANT+ relevant command!

    It takes me too much time to "guess" how are those codes dealing with incoming "event" data.

    If it is not available, please, please make it ASAP...

  • Kepei,

           Please refer to the following post for ANT APIs: http://e2e.ti.com/support/low_power_rf/f/660/p/116249/421446.aspx .

    Thanks,
