CC2640R2F: Btool on CC2640 wcsp BLE stack.

Part Number: CC2640R2F

Hi

We are trying to run BTOOL (C:\ti\simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk_5_30_00_03\tools\blestack\btool)

on BLE stack((simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk_5_30_00_03\examples\rtos\CC2640R2_LAUNCHXL\blestack\host_test) )

CC2640R2F launchpad but with CXE build flag (WCSP setting).

But it fail like this: Device reset timeout.

Do we have any inconnect setting?

  • Hello Aichi,

    I am assuming the host_test project was successfully flashed into the device.

    What COM port are you using? Please double check it is the UART one.

    Let me know,

    David.

  • Yes, i have select correct com port.

    i had re-plug usb to tried again then meet below, any idea?

    BTW, i am using this prebild image:

    C:\ti\simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk_5_30_00_03\examples\rtos\CC2640R2_LAUNCHXL\blestack\hexfiles

    And whole thing will be ok if use BLE5 image.

  • Hello Aichi,

    Please make sure you are executing BTool from the correct ble stack (same as the hexfile source). To do this, go to <SDK>\tools\blestack\btool and execute Run_BTool.bat

    Considering that you are using <SDK>\examples\rtos\CC2640R2_LAUNCHXL\blestack\hexfiles\cc2640r2lp_host_test.hex

    Let me know how it goes.

    David.

  • Few more things we may need to clarify, if we use BTOOL on custom board,

    1. That host_test project and hexfile just needs UART communication to establish communication? Does it need any special of CC2640R2F pin to be controlled e.g. be pulled low/high?
    2. The UART communication for the host_test is Asynchronous or Synchronous (with RTS/CTS)? Is Rx and Tx connected to IOID_0 and IOID_1 if we choose CC2640R2DK_CXS?
    3. If we compile the host_test project we don’t longer need to have BLE stack Project or hex file to flash with the application code?
