CC2640R2F: BLE5Stack Example Project

Part Number: CC2640R2F
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2640

Tool/software:

Currently, we are using the Simple_NP example project for our product. We are planning to use BLE5Stack, but it seems like the same example project is not available in BLE5Stack. Can you suggest which example project we should use in BLE5stack, and if we need to modify our main MCU firmware for that? Currently, we are using SNP commands to communicate between our Main MCU and BLE chip(CC2640).

  • Hi,

    Thank you for reaching out. We do not have the Simple NP project on the BLE5-Stack, but if you are sending NPI commands from your main MCU to the BLE chip, then I would suggest using the host_test BLE5-Stack project instead. This project can operate as a network processor and be controlled by your main chip through UART or SPI.

  • Hi Jan,

    Currently, we are using the simple_np project for our BLE chip and sending commands(SNP commands) over UART to control it. Do we need to modify our main MCU firmware if we want to update the BLE chip with the host_test project in BLE5Stack? Or will the same commands work as what we are currently using?

  • Hi,

    Host_test uses NPI commands (which contain vendor specific HCI commands). Its possible you may have to change the exact byte streams you are sending for the commands, but any functionality possible through SNP should be possible through NPI.

    Best Regards,
