Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2640

Hello,

I, ordered the CC2650DK and want to set up a BLE communication with my pc (for using BTool). 

This link mentions that everything needed to set up a ble link is included in the CC2650DK, but required the use of the CC2540Dongle which was not included in the package. Is there a way to directly connect the CC2650DK with the bluetooth from my pc so I can use BTool, or do I need to buy the dongle as well?

    Hi Lariekoek,

    Sorry for the confusion. The CC2650DK page lists the correct product specs.
    The good news is you don't need a CC2540USB dongle. Just take one of your SmartRF06 boards with the CC2650EM and flash the CC2640_SmartRF_HostTestRelease_All.hex firmware located in the Accessories/HexFiles folder of the BLE Stack SDK. You can then establish a connection to BTool over USB.

    Best wishes
