Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650, CC2531

i want to buy a Evaluation modules(full kit) of Texas Instruments for evaluating and testing a BLE network and data communication. and it should act as coordinator, router, and end device.

plz suggest me which is the best module so it would be helpful to learning about wireless security testing.

There is no coordinator, router, and end device in BLE stack. Those are in Zigbee stack. If you want to test Zigbee, you can refer to CC2530DK.

Hello,

For a list of BLE development kits offered by TI, please see www.ti.com/bluetooth

As YK correctly states, there is no coordinator or router function defiled in the BT Core Specification, however you could implement such behavior at the application layer, depending on your requirements. I suggest looking at some introductory BT material on the TI BLE Wiki (www.ti.com/ble-wiki) as well as bluetooth.org.

Best wishes

sorry for inconvenience,

actually i want to buy both kit for BLE and Zigbee, so mistakenly i wrote a wrong description.

Now am pretty clear, Please let me know...which Evaluation modules(full kit) of Texas Instruments for evaluating and testing a specially for BLE network. ???

To study BLE, you can use CC2540DK or CC2540DK-MINI.

To study Zigbee, you can use CC2530DK or CC2538DK.

If you intend to study both, you can use CC2650DK.

CC2650 is a SoC with transciver capabilities.

one more doubt,
there are two kits(SmartRF06EB) in development kit (CC2650 DK). so here any one of them can work as coordinator and other one work as router or end device ???? or for that purpose we need some other tools.

and also along with sniffer and sensor device monitor tools are required or not ???? for capturing and monitoring the data from BLE or Zigbee network.

If you need CC2650DK to act as Zigbee coordinator and router, you have to use ZAP + ZNP architecture and need an extra MCU Ior PC as ZAP. If you need to do Zigbee sniffer, you have to buy CC2531 USB dongle.
