BTOOL error talking to SMARTRF05EB : [3] : <Warning> - 08:24:09.060 GAP Device Initialization Timeout Device May Not Function Properly

Hi,

Facing the same issue. The above solution did not solve the problem. I can see TI BLEv1.4 HostTestApp All in the LCD. So I am sure that correct program is loaded.
Adding the logs from BTool.

Hi,

I did not want to create a new thread for the same problem. Currently I am sitting idle with the new hardware I bought primarily because no one in the support team want to respond. We had enough problems getting a perfect code working with IAR who doesn't care about backward compatibility (or their customers). Please don't add to our woes.

At least tell me how I can debug this myself.

Hello,

Did you enabled the RS232 slider switch on the SmartRF05? Try 115200,N,8,1 with RTS/CTS when you connect with BTool.

Best wishes 

Hi JXS,

Thanks for the reply.  Enabled the switch, configured with the mentioned settings. I now receive HCI_CommandCompleteEvent but the error remains the same.  Also tried with other flow options. In those cases, nothing was received from the COM5.

I tried with another smartRF05EB and the output was different though I loaded the same CC2540 module was installed. So I have a feeling that the response is not actually coming from the CC2540.

I did a simple loopback test to verify that the serial cable is working.

My end goal is to use smartRF05EB for OAD image encryption but since it was not working, I reverted to BTool for debugging.

With first smartRF05EB,

Hi Tejas,

Well, that's an improvement since you are now getting RX data !

Just to confirm.. did you program CC2540_SmartRF_HostTestRelease_All.hex to the CC2540EM from BLE 1.4.x?
Also, please confirm your COM port settings match the BTool settings in swru270. The OP used 57600 baud, which is not correct.

Best wishes

Hi JXS,

I programmed CC2540_SmartRF_HostTestRelease_All.hex and I can see TI BLEv1.4 HostTestApp All in the LCD. Here are the COM settings used.

Port: COM6
Baud: 115200
Flow: CTS/RTS
Parity: None
Stop bits: One
Data bits: 8

So the settings are as per the documentation.

Hi JXS,

Any thoughts? We are currently blocked by this issue. We bought this product primarily for encrypted OAD and our product is ready to be released. And I am still wondering whether to use BEM or BIM because I can't get my SmartRF05EB working.

Regards

Hi Tejas,

I'm at a loss to explain what is going on based on what is presented. Your hex file is correct and port settings are correct as well.
How did you confirm that your USB serial adapter is working? You mentioned loopback, how was that tested?
Also, what BTool version are you using?

Best wishes

Hi JXS,

I shorted the Tx And Rx pins (pin 2 and 3) and wrote a small python script to write a string and do a read. I was able to read the data I wrote. Which mean the Tx and Rx are working fine.

Currently I am using BTool v1.40.5

Best Regards

Hi Tejas,

Can you take a logic analyzer trace of the TX pin on the RF05 board and correlate to the BTool log?

Also, is it BTool v1.41.5?

Best wishes

Hi Tejas,

Thanks for letting us know that it's working on your end. I'm not aware of any incompatibility with previous BLE-Stack v1.4.x releases and the SmartRF05EBK, but you do have to use the correct BTool + SDK release.

Best wishes

Thanks JXS. I tried with a few variations of BLE stack and BTool and that was the issue. Is there a place where the supporting software versions along with the BLE stack versions are documented?

As you can see, with serialBootLoader, I am facing a similar issue. (e2e.ti.com/.../526333)

Hi Tejas,

The Software Developer's guide for each BLE SDK will describe the required versions of the supporting software.
