LP-CC2652RB: How to instruct the RF controller to transmit particular BLE data?

Part Number: LP-CC2652RB

Tool/software:

Hi, I am trying to transmit BLE data at particular channel by instructing the controller directly. I see that technical manual mentions that there is generic command to receive operation `CMD_BLE_GENERIC_RX or CMD_BLE5_GENERIC_RX`. But is there anything similar for transmit operation? Or does the `CMD_PROP_TX or CMD_BLE5_TX_TEST` is capable for this? If yes how to use it?

PS: New in using this controller, please let me know if there are any other ways that I can achieve this?
Regards

  • Hi, 

    Thank you for reaching out. 

    If you look at producing Bluetooth compliant designs, I highly recommend you leverage the ble5stack available for this device. The ble5stack is Bluetooth qualified, deployed on billions of systems and features-rich. A good way to get started with the ble5stack is to follow the SimpleLink Academy trainings and start from the simple_peripheral example available in the SDK

    On the contrary, if you are looking at producing a very lightweight system without Bluetooth compliance, they you should look at leveraging propRF examples. The SimpleLink Academy trainings I mentioned before also apply to this option and the sample examples can be found in the SDK

    Last but not least, if you haven't found yet the TI Developer Zone, I highly recommend you to type https://dev.ti.com/ in your web-browser. There you will find all the collateral, training material and software you need for TI devices. 

    I hope this will help,

    Best regards, 

  • Hey, thank you for the information.
    I went through what all you mentioned and from my understanding there isn't a way that I can make the controller to transmit (in BLE compliance) something in data channel without being in a connection with another device.

    While using PropRF module( eg: CMD_PROP_TX) to transmit something with same parameters that a BLE device would use while transmitting, my doubt is will the BLE device accept it as legit packet?

  • Hi, 

    One-way connection-less communication can be made over Bluetooth advertisements. This will be recognized as legit Bluetooth packet. 

    However, using the propRF module you will not be able to produce Bluetooth legit packets. 

    I hope this will help,

    Best regards,
