Running BTool

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2540

Hi everybody,

I have encountered problems with running BTool. I have switched the RS232 to Enable status on SmartRF05EB 1.8 board and set the correct serial port number and baud rate. Why still can not open BTool.

How to fix the problem?

Regards,

Daniel

Hi,

I might be wrong, but I think BTool has been designed to be used as a virtual serial port over USB rather than using a physical RS-232 interface. See if you can get it to work by using USB instead.

Best regards,

Karl

Hi Karl,

Thanks for the reply. Below is the description in CC2540 DK User's Guide.

In addition, do you know how to the application: usb_cdc_driver_cc2540 in the directory TI/BLE-CC2540-1.1a/Accessaries/Drivers
