I have a CC2540 development board. I connected the development kit to the PC using smartRFstudio7, and it asked me for software upgrade available. I did the SW upgrade, and now my board is now showing the screen for BLE Peripheral, but is showing, TexasInstruments SmartRF05 EB CC2540" Please let me know how can I get the board back into BLE Peripheral mode

    SmartRF Studio is used purely for RF testing, and does not make use of the full BLE protocol stack.

    The hex file with the SimpleBLEPeripheral/Central demo application are included in the BLE SW Development kit (download here: http://www.ti.com/tool/ble-stack). You will also need to download SmartRF Flash Programmer (download here: http://www.ti.com/tool/flash-programmer).

    After installing the SDK and SmartRF Flash Programmer, use SmartRF Flash Programmer to download the following two hex files to the two boards:

    C:\Texas Instruments\BLE-CC2540-1.1a\Accessories\Hex_Files\cc2540_ble1.1_SmartRF_SimpleBLECentral.hex

    C:\Texas Instruments\BLE-CC2540-1.1a\Accessories\Hex_Files\cc2540_ble1.1_SmartRF_SimpleBLEPeripheral.hex

    :(

    I think this is one of the questions we could create a wiki FAQ entry for, Willis. This is being asked over and over and it is only a matter of nomenclature, perhaps some diagrams relating the application name, the concept being implemented and the suitable devices could help a lot.

    Do you agree?
