CC2540 Mini Development Kit connect with BLE Device Monitor.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2540

Hi,
                 I have CC2540 Mini Development Kit.I have successfully connected CC2540 using BTool and tested functionality. But, I need to connect and discover the CC2540 keyfob using the BLE Device Monitor software, to get all services and characteristics UUIDs. But it gives the two possible errors either Failed to open com port or No response from BLE host. I am missing something while connecting? Please guide me.

Thanks.

  • The firmware on the CC2540 USB Dongle that is used for BTool is the same that is used for BLE Device Monitor. So if it is working fro BTool, it should also be working for BLE Device Monitor.

    Some possible problems:
    - ensure you chose the right COM port
    - ensure the COM port is not being used by another program (such as BTool)


    Note you can reload the firmware if necessary. It comes with the stack release at C:\Texas Instruments\BLE-CC254x-1.4.0\Accessories\HexFiles\CC2540_USBdongle_HostTestRelease_All.hex

  • For some reason I was getting the same error with BLE Device Monitor 1.2 version.

    quoting myself from another post:

    "For those who are getting "No response from BLE host" error using BLE Device Monitor, installing BLE Device Monitor 1.1 solved the problem for me.

    Google "BLE Device Monitor 1.1" and install the old version."
