CC2640R2F: GPTimer and Notifications

Hi Imran,

I forwarded this thread to some of our driver experts. He will deal with this issue later on.

In the meantime it would be nice if you give us some more detailed information on your setup here.

1.) Which SDK are you using? 

2.) What example did you use to start your development.

3.) Did you add the timer using Sysconfig and which configuration did you do?

Regards,

Alex 

Hi Alex,

1. I am using the "simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk_2_20_00_49"

2. I used the Simple Serial Socket example found from github.com/.../simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk-2.20. 

3. I did not use Sysconfig. I added the timer by importing the GPTimer header (<ti/drivers/timer/GPTimerCC26XX.h>) and this the configuration I used:

  GPTimerCC26XX_Params params;
  GPTimerCC26XX_Params_init(&params);
  params.width = GPT_CONFIG_16BIT;
  params.mode = GPT_MODE_PERIODIC_UP;
  params.debugStallMode = GPTimerCC26XX_DEBUG_STALL_OFF;

  hTimer = GPTimerCC26XX_open(Board_GPTIMER0A, &params);


  GPTimerCC26XX_Value loadVal = 0x1D4AF;
  GPTimerCC26XX_setLoadValue(hTimer, loadVal);
  GPTimerCC26XX_registerInterrupt(hTimer, timerCallback, GPT_INT_TIMEOUT);

  GPTimerCC26XX_start(hTimer);

Thanks,
Imran

Hello Imran,

How are you? Could you try to copy-paste the GPTimer source code to your CCS project, then while using the debug mode single step into the GPTimerCC26XX_open function to confirm what is going on. I tried replicating the issue on my end, with a similar device (CC2652R7); I will try test the code on the CC2640R2. For somewhat newer drivers reference the timer.h file in the Driverlib here.

Thanks,

Alex F

Hi Alex,

I tried to debug the code, but it was not helpful and I could not find the line where the Bluetooth gets stuck on. I have attached my Code Composer Studio project files (Simple Serial Client and Simple Serial Server) for your reference so that you may have a go at it.

Thanks!

Hello Imran,

If it is at all possible, could you update to the latest SDK.

Since there is not an example available right now for the simple serial client/server for the newest SDK could you attempt to replicate your code on the Simple Peripheral example, and if the issue persists let me know. Alternatively, this commit of the repo has a slightly more updated version of the SDK with simple serial socket. 

Thanks,
Alex F

Hi Alex,

I tried adding the GPTimer to the Simple Peripheral example that I got from SIMPLELINK-CC2640R2-SDK 5.30.00.03 (latest), but the Bluetooth doesn't work if GPTimer is opened. Can you replicate and let me know if you are seeing similar results?

Also, I believe SDK 4.10 (from the commit that you linked) has Simple Serial Socket for CC26x2 which wouldn't be compatible with CC2640R2, is that correct?However, it does appear that SDK 3.40 has an updated copy of the Simple Serial Socket for the CC2640R2 and has a BLE5 implementation of it. I was utilizing SDK 2.20 and hence the BLE4.2 stack version of Simple Serial Socket, would you know if there is a difference to using the BLE5 version instead?

Thanks a lot!

Imran

Hello Imran,

I was able to test the CC2640R2 using the "Simple Peripheral" example with GPTimer, provided in the 5.30 SDK, using CCS 12.3. The bluetooth (using an Android 21 FE with BLE scanner) was able to communicate with the CC2640R2 and receive text successfully; shown in the image attached. Also provided is a zipped folder containing the project I used to achieve this result. Generally moving to the most updated SDK is the best rule of thumb if at all possible. And SDK 3.40 does have an updated version that we could use.

Thanks,

Hi Alex,

Did you test with the CC2640R2 LaunchPad? I will test your code soon and see if it works on the LaunchPad I have.

Also,  I will transition to the most recent SDK for the Serial Socket code. Thanks for letting me know! I wanted to ask again if there is a difference in the BLE5 version of the code?

Thank you for your help!

Best regards,

Imran

Hi Alex,

I tested your code and unfortunately the peripheral device does not advertise to an iPhone running the BLE scanner app or another LaunchPad device that is programmed to run simple central application.

Also, I noticed that your screenshot (assuming it is the main simple_peripheral.c file) contains different code than the one supplied in your zip file. Below is the simple_peripheral.c file I have from your zip file.

Hello Imran,

The file which my screenshot is from is under the "Startup" folder in "main.c" (in app project), sorry for not making that clear. The other reason why we want to update to the latest SDK is because you cannot go into production with an old SDK due to certification issues. (*a useful shortcut to find code is to use is the workplace search, use Ctrl + H, then under C/C++ search to search the whole workplace)

Some questions:

-Do you see any UART output? 

-Can you check if it works with an Android device on your end if possible? 

In regard to the differences between BLE4.2 Stack and BLE5 Stack there are several code differences at the application level and the backend, for more specifics please create a new thread dedicated to this issue instead. 

Thanks,
Alex F

Hi Alex,

Great, thanks for the explanation. 

1. For UART output, all it displays is 'BLE Peripheral'. No other text (such as advertising or device address) is displayed on Putty.

2. I checked with an Android phone, and it still was not able to be detected.

Did you run your test on the LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2 Evaluation Board? That is what I am using, and so I want to make sure our hardware is the same.

In terms of software, I first imported into CCS v12.0 (I am not sure if upgrading to v12.3 will help, but can certainly try) the Simple Peripheral example from blestack folder in the examples folder from the 5.30 SDK downloaded from https://www.ti.com/tool/download/SIMPLELINK-CC2640R2-SDK/5.30.00.03. Once successfully building that original project and testing it with external devices (confirmed advertising and connection), I then replaced the original project files with your files supplied in the zip folder you attached. That's all I needed to do, correct?

Thanks,

Imran

This worked! Thanks Alex for helping me out!

Best regards,

Imran
