Does Panasonic PAN 1326 (CC2564) work with PIC microcontroller?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2564, MSP430BT5190

Hi,

Does anyone know if  Panasonic PAN 1326 (CC2564) works with PIC micro controller?

http://www.panasonic.com/industrial/electronic-components/rf-modules/bluetooth/pan1326-1316.aspx

I received mixed answers, some said it works, some said it only works with MSP430.

How do I get started? What development kit I should get?

My current product is already using Bluetooth Module  2.1.

The connection between BT Module and PIC is through UART. The BT module is using SPP profile and it's transparent to me. I don't have to code or change anything on current BT module. 


Thanks!

Mike

    Mike,

    The PAN1326 is an HCI compliant blue tooth radio. It is only the physical layer interface. The blue tooth stack(in your case SPP) runs on the host processor.

    There is nothing prohibiting the 1326 module to run with your processor. However, TI has a pre built SPP release that supports the 1326 on a MSP430 or anb ARM Cortex M3 .

    In this manner, you can use the same processor to run your BT stack as well as run your embedded application. If you take a look at the MSP430BT5190, this is the device that is pre canned to run the BT stack.

    If you should choose not to use the MSP430, you would need to get an HCI blue tooth stack to run on your processor. The connection between the PAN1326 and the host processor is a UART interface along with a few other connections. You need a 32khz clock and an shutdown line.

    Let us know if you have any further questions.

    Hi Jason,

    Thank you for the quick reply. I couldn't find any information about this. Even some of the Panasonic employees were clueless.

    The option to change current PIC processor is difficult. Maybe in the future.

    The module looks ok, but it will increase the cost. 

    Have you heard about Blueradios module? It's a standalone BT module,  using CC2564 chip.

    The module has the stack built-in, so it can be used with any MCU. The only problem is the price is expensive.

    Is there any other alternative out there?

    Mike,

    You might be able to use the BT Stack that is open source.

    http://code.google.com/p/btstack/

    Examples are already available for the MSP430 and it might be ported to the PIC microcontroller.

    Hi,

    Not entirely relevant to this thread but I'm trying to understand if/what differences there are between different implementations of the HCI protocol.

    I have a stack running using a RN-42 module from Roving Networks, I am now trying to use the PAN1326 for a large customer.

    I am able to communicate with the PAN1326 in exactly the same was as the original module however after enabling a Scan, (HCI_Write_Scan_Enable) the module is not discoverable from a PC.

    Any assistance greatly appreciated.
