EZ430-RF256x kit

Hi,

I have read all the Wiki pages and I have these questions and I am wondering if I could get the answers. I have purchased the kit with two target boards and USB device.

1. What is exactly already pre-downloaded on the target boards? Is it the accelerometer project from MindTree EtherMind™ Bluetooth® Stack (which you do not support any more). If this is the case please elaborate (I feel it is the case as it comes with Penguin example), if not I would need to have the CCS/IAR workspace/project that are on these target boards.  

2. I need to have a simple project just sending data through Bluetooth or LE from the target board with battery to the one with USB. The demos on http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC256x_MSP430_Bluetopia_Basic_Demo_APPS are for the experiment setups that I do not have and their size is not acceptable by CCS (large). So I need just a simple communication project for EZ430-RF256x kit as a template.

3. Is there any way I know what is already on the target boards (both of them) so that I have the source project to change/develop.

Thanks and these information are not on the forums, wikis, etc.

    Hi,

    1. The penguin demo that comes with the kit is an old demo not supported anymore

    2. You should be able to load the demos on the ez430 and communicate between them. For the battery board, you might have to change the code since all the demos are CLI based. Also, you can run SPPDemo_Lite on the battery board and echo back characters sent to it.

    3. No, the app was based on older stack not supported anymore.

    Thanks but please explain more thoroughly about point 2. We have obtained a board a week ago which has a stack you do not support anymore. Why did not you change it at the first place (supplying what TI supports) and if the demos online need to be changed to be compatible with EZ430 RF256x target boards please explain in details. I have downloaded these demos on the boards and have changed the option to EZ430 in IAR but they simply do not work. I need one simple bluetooth connection sample to send data in the frequency I want and with payload length I specify. Thanks in advance for being more detailed.
