CC2642R: GAP Observer, passive scan issue

Part Number: CC2642R

Tool/software:

Hello,

I’m using the CC2642R module along with the SDK "simplelink_cc13x2_26x2_sdk_3_40_00_02." I want to perform continuous BLE scanning and read the MAC address and RSSI for each detected device. However, I couldn’t find an example like "Simple Observer" in this SDK. What would be the simplest way to achieve this?

  • Hi, 

    Thank you for reaching out. I would recommend considering to update to the newest SDK version - https://www.ti.com/tool/download/SIMPLELINK-LOWPOWER-F2-SDK 

    For your usage - "simple observer" / sacnner - I would recommend to start from the simple_central device (that already implement the scanning functionality). 

    I hope this will help,

    Best regards, 

  • Hi,

    Thank you for your response and suggestion. Unfortunately, I am unable to upgrade to the newest SDK at this time. The new SDK version introduces significant changes compared to the one I am currently using, and these differences would impact the rest of my program. Due to time constraints, I cannot afford the effort required to adapt and test the entire project for compatibility with the new SDK.

    I appreciate your recommendation, but I would like to know if there is a way to implement the scanning functionality within my current SDK version (3.40.00.02). Any guidance on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.

    Best regards,

  • Hi, 

    My suggestion to update SDK version was not mandatory, simply a usual advice I provide. 

    The following should be applicable no matter which SDK version is being used:
