CC256x / PAN132x modules

I have a query about the PAN132x/CC256x modules. I want to use a Stellaris Cortex M3 based device in a project and am trying to select a bluetooth module. I have seen the PAN131xETU / Stellaris DK-LM3S9B96 kit and was wondering if the 1327 and 1329 modules, when available, will also work with the same tools and hardware, as ultimately I would like a Bluetooth 2.1/Bluetooth LE/ ANT module for this project. I would like to use IAR for the development as I am familiar with it from the MSP430 dev.

    Josh,

                Yes, the modules will be pin to pin compatible. Also, the tools should be the same. Of course, the SW might be different.

    BlueRadios will be coming out with a 2 Dual Mode modules.  One will incorporate a MSP430 and the CC256X and the other contains a stellaris and the CC256X.  BlueRadios is working with Stonestreet on the software and will be loaded with their Bluetopia software.  These modules will be available around Q3 2011

    Thanks for the replies.

     

    Do you need to program these micros on the module, or are they ready to be used as supplied?

     

    If ready programmed:

    My project calls for a bit of fiddling in the processor (boot loader, encryption, I/Os, ADCs, PWM, data logging etc), so I would like to leave the module's microprocessor alone and use a more suitable device as the main processor. In this case, would there be any difference in which module is used (MSP430 based or stellaris based), or do they interact with the host in the same way?

     

    Regards,

    The modules can be programmed to do all the 'fiddling' you would need.  But if you want to use a host processor you can connect the UART lines to module and communicate with it.  If you decide to go this route, I would recommend the MSP module, BR-LE4.0-D2A since it has a smaller footprint.
