CC2650: BLE Gateway

Part Number: CC2650
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2642R

Dear TI Team,

Our team at superus , successfully utilized the CC2650 for my ESL (Electronic Shelf Label) project, facilitating data transfer via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) from users' smartphones. However,We need to develop a BLE Gateway equipped with four antennas using CC2650.

After researching on the TI website, I came across the 15.4 Linux Gateway SDK. Could you please provide some guidance on this topic? My objective is to create an ultra-fast BLE-iot Gateway capable of connecting to 1000 ble esl tags and transmitting byte array of images to displayed on e-paper display from back end application efficiently.

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out.

If I may, I am not sure the 15.4 Linux Gateway SDK would help here, as you are rather looking at BLE-based communication.

For this reason, I would rather recommend looking at creating a OAD distributor for BLE.

The lab here after guides you to use the CC2642R device flashed with host_test as OAD distributor: https://dev.ti.com/tirex/content/cc13xx_cc26xx_simplelink_academy_7_40_01_00/_build_cc13xx_cc26xx_simplelink_academy_7_40_01_00/source/ble5stack/ble_enhanced_oad_fundamentals/ble_enhanced_oad_fundamentals.html

The same approach can be enhanced to be controlled over UART commands and serve several devices at the time (limit is probably round 16 devices at the time though).

I hope this will help,

Bets regards,
