Is Bluetooth CC2560 which supports Bluetooth 4.0 also support Bluetooth 2.0 EDR and Bluetooth 3.0 ?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2560, CC2564

Hi All,

We want to design a hardware which needs to communicate with a mobile/Smartphone using Bluetooth . But we want the hardware to support Bluetooth 2.0+EDR , 3.0 , and 4.0 BLE. Is it possible using this CC2560 module. Please advise.

Also do we need to implement extra stack in the host firmware for bluetooth communication , or just simply sending the data byte through UART would do. In case we need to implement the stack where do we get the required information, is that stack that is available in the website enough for development.

Please advise.

Regards

  • Hello,

    Take a look at the following wiki:

    CC256x Bluetooth

    and the following open source effort:

  • Hi All,

    I am a novice in this field. Can you please help me with the following information to help me take a fast decision.

    1)  How do i order there are two options I see a) CC2564 Bluetooth 4.0+BLE b) CC2564 Bluetooth 4.0+ANT.  Which module should I chose so that if I use CC2564 as slave I should be able to connect to any mobile device which might be Bluetooth 2.1, 3.0 or 4.0. Does any of these have such a feature.

    2) Can I port the Bluetooth stack to any of the MSP430 devices, how much memory does it consume ?

    Regards

  • Hi all,

    I studied on this CC2564 a bit and now I have the following understanding.

    1) CC2564 Bluetooth 4.0-BLE , supports EDR/LE/BR . So if I am able bring up the Bluetooth stack it can be able to communicate with BT 2.1 devices and BT 3.0 devices. Please confirm whether my understanding is correct.

    2) From where do I get more information on this. From where do i get information on the command set to be used to be able to communicate with CC2564.

    3) I only need to have SPP protocol implemented . So is it feasible to write a generic firmware which can speak to any of the Bluetooth 4.0 , 3.0 and 2.0 devices. How much can be the approximate code size for this. Based on this I need to chose the MCU.

    Please advise.

    Regards

  • This is very good picture.
    Bluetopia Supports Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and Bluetooth 4.0 - Bluetooth certified

    You can use the Bluetopia stack or the open source BStack. Take a look the available documentation for the API.
