PAN1326 discoverable

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430BT5190

I am developing a BT stack to run on a PIC micro using the explorer 16 Dev board and a DM183036 (RN-42) from Microchip - this works well and as the final product will be using the PAN1326 I have grafted one onto the development board with the required interface to allow it to operate. ie 1v8 I/O and a 32kHz clock etc. Communication with the PAN1326 via the HCI interface is good however I can not seem to be able to discover it on my PC.

I assumed the HCI commands were 'universal' and would work seamlessly between two BT devices: Any ideas what could be preventing the PAN1326 to be discoverable?

At the moment it is running in normal mode not LE. I have a V4.0 BT adaptor.

Cheers.

  • Hi Rob,

    I am looking into this issue. Can you give me more information on your setup i.e. which HCI command you are using?

  • Hi Zahidul,

    Thanks for following up on this issue.

    The following is a log of the commands send to the module (exactly the same as for the original module) with the replies. The last thing that is written to the module is "Write_Scan_Enable". The response back is good "00". I then 'search' for the device on the PC but it is does not appear. 

    Reset Module
    HCI Status: CMD 0C03 Status 00 OK
    Read Buffer size 1005
    HCI Status: read buff size Data Len 03FD Sync Data Len 00B4
    Read BT Add 1009
    HCI Status: read BT add Address AD945B9007D0
    Config buff size 0C33
    HCI Status: CMD 0C33 Status 00 OK
    Write local name 0C13
    HCI Status: CMD 0C13 Status 00 OK
    Write class of device 0C24
    HCI Status: CMD 0C24 Status 00 OK
    Write Scan enabled 0C1A
    HCI Status: CMD 0C1A Status 00 OK
    Init complete

    Many thanks

    Rob

  • Our BT device requires that it be flashed with our service pack for it to work. Unfortunately, at this time we are not supporting products not using our platform with our software(i.e. MSP430+BT or Stellaris+BT).

    Thanks,

  • You are kidding??

    So I can buy this module from any number of suppliers and it is completely useless???

  • Rob,

         We apologize for the inconvenience it might have caused you. Unfortunately, we are only supporting this device as part of our platforms to facilitate customer integration at this moment.

    Regards,

  • Rob,

    The btstack.org website has info on how to initialize Pan13xx modules. The instructions are part of a project using a MSP430, but the C code doesn't care what kind of CPU it runs on. Check the following link for the section on CC256x Init Scripts:

    https://code.google.com/p/btstack/wiki/MSP430GettingStarted

    PS. Perhaps one shouldn't mention the use of non-TI products on a TI forum? ;-)

  • Hi Andy,

    Thanks for the advice.

    Good point made at the end, I shall bear than in mind for the future.

    Cheers

    Rob

  • Is the service pack (different initialization file) still required along with the latest StoneStreet stack for using a PAN1326 module with an MSP430BT5190 ?

    Thanks,
