CC2560 Bluetooth stack

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TM4C129ENCZAD, CC2560, CC256XM4BTBLESW

I plan to use the CC2560 and TM4C129ENCZAD for Blueetooth 4.0 connectivity. As I understand I can develop in Code Composer Studio v6. I however have problems finding a Bluetooth stack for the chip. I assume the TI Bluetooth protocol stack works on TI-RTOS which I downloaded here: http://www.ti.com/tool/ti-rtos. I also installed it via CCS App Center. Did I get a double install?

I downloaded CC256XM4BTBLESW-v1.2-R2-Setup.exe from http://www.ti.com/tool/tibluetoothstack-sdk which is described to be:
"TI Bluetooth + Bluetooth Low Energy Stack on TM4C12x MCUs."
This is the right protocol stack?

However as I tried to install the stack on the computer which I have CCS v.6 on, I get the following error message:
"The version of this file is not compatible with he version of windows you are running."
I have a Windows 7 Enterprise, Service pack 1 on a 64 bit laptop with Intel Core-i5, Code Composer Studio v. 6.1.0.00104

Where can I get and how can I install the proper Bluetooth Stack for CC2560 and TI-RTOS?
Where are example implementations for said Bluetooth Stack?

Hi,

Mind that CC2560 does not run BLE, see below table

TI-RTOS is not installed automatically as part of the Code Composer Studio v6.0 installation. You can install TI-RTOS from the CCS App Center (choose View > CCS App Center in CCS). Choose the version of TI-RTOS for your device family and install. Also see http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spruhu5a/spruhu5a.pdf

Yes you can get the latest Bluetopia SDK for Tiva C (CC256XM4BTBLESW) from here http://www.ti.com/tool/tibluetoothstack-sdk

Mind that presently we have Two demoes SPPDemo and SPPLEDemo in Tiva C release which supports TI RTOS.

The link you give www.ti.com/.../tibluetoothstack-sdk point exactly to the place where I downloaded the non-working CC256XM4BTBLESW-v1.2-R2-Setup.exe.

I still get the following error message:
"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are running."
Also it seems to be the BLE - Bluetooth Low Energy Stack not the EDR - Enhanced Data Rate Stack.

Is there a EDR stack to be downloaded, either for TI-RTOS or plain non-OS works?

Hi,

It is BT and BLE Software. You can use it with CC2560.
Could you please try installing as administrate? Can you download it again and try?
In mean while I will check if it is compatible with the Windows 7 Enterprise version (and confirm it), as I am using it on Windows 7 professional.

Very strange:
If I launch command prompt "run as administrator" and launch CC256XM4BTBLESW-v1.2-R2-Setup.exe i get:

Unsupported 16-bit application
"\??\C:\ ... \CC256XM4BTBLESW-v1.2-R2-Setup.exe cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit version is available.

Hi,

That is really strange, as my PC is also 64 bit, could you please try it on a different PC?
also you can try to run with windows compatibility mode…
see www.howtogeek.com/.../using-program-compatibility-mode-in-windows-7

No, windows compatibility mode does not help, nor does running as admin.

However when I download the file I get the following message:
( However I did not get the same error message priorly!)

C:\Users\ksandstr\AppData\Local\Temp\BkvoRC1w.exe.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
Try again later, or contact the server administrator.

But when I click OK it seemed to download. The file size ids wrong however so there must be something wrong about the file. I suspect some virus checking program.

Question: is there another way to download the file?

I sorry to just add messages to this thread but I have 2 things to say:

1) The download worked perfectly using my mobile phone. Priory Sonic Gateway virus protection downloaded a 1KB file with a notification it was a virus.

2) I would really appreciate if you check the file and figure out why I get an alert for the HckPk.A virus.
