CC2640R2F: Update BLE5-Stack and BLE-Stack

Part Number: CC2640R2F
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BLE-STACK, CC2340R5

Tool/software:

Hi,

I found detail of BLE5-Stack and BLE-Stack follow link below

https://software-dl.ti.com/simplelink/esd/simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk/3.30.00.20/exports/changelog.html#fixed-issues

Current I use project Simple Serial Socket (Copyright (c) 2020, Texas Instruments Incorporated)

SDK 3.30.00.20 

This is detail information feature of SDK 3.30.00.20 about BLE5-Stack and BLE-Stack or I understand incorrect?

I Should update BLE5-Stack and BLE-Stack to my project or not?

Best Regards,

Vasu Khwanyuen

  • Hi,

    Using the BLE5-Stack or BLE-Stack will depend on your application needs. If BLE5 features are necessary then the BLE5-Stack should be used. If they are not, the I highly suggest staying with the BLE-Stack. The BLE5-Stack on the CC2640R2 has less flash/heap available due to the size of the ble5-stack on the CC2640R2. If BLE5 features are truly necessary, then I would highly recommend evaluating the CC2340R5 device which is able to natively support the BLE5-Stack while providing much more RAM and flash to the user.

  • Hi Vasu,

    Each CC2640R2 SDK has both a BLE stack (BLE 4) and a BLE5  stack (BLE 5). With each release of the SDKs, improvements and bug fixes are made to both stacks. If this project will be deployed using BLE4, then the CC2640R2 is a great option. If this is new development and BLE5 is a requirement, then I would suggest looking into the CC2340R5 as it will offer you more RAM and flash for your user application.
