CC2650: Wireless connectivity solution required to connect a DSP to a Computer or Tablet wirelessly for programming

Part Number: CC2650
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2640R2F, BLE-STACK, BOOST5545ULP

Hello, I want to add a wireless chip, possibly the CC2650, to a PCB design that will allow me to program a DSP on it using the SCL, SDA 12C protocol.

This is for a medical application. I want to be able to connect to and program this DSP wirelessly using a computer or tablet.

Size is critical as this will have to fit onto a tiny PCB.

Can you advise me if this is possible and if so does TI have a solution for this?

  • Hello,

    If size is critical I suggest using CC2640R2F which is offered in a WLCSP package option: 2.7mm x 2.7mm.

    From the software side, yes, you can develop your application using TI-RTOS and the BLE-Stack. I suggest getting started with SimpleLink Academy: www.ti.com/simplelinkacademy

  • Hello JXS, thank you for your reply.

    So, if I want to use the CC2640R2F on a PCB, do I connect this to the DSP & VB?

    Would I need a code for the DSP in order for the CC2640R2F to communicate with it.

    Is TI able to help me write the code for this?

    On the computer or Tablet side of things, could I use the same CC2640R2F chip in a USB format plug in, like a dongle or similar?

     So I will have a CC2640R2F on my PCB and in order to communicate with the PC or Tablet I would need a similar device, is this correct?

    Do you have any reference designs that can help me achieve this, or can TI help me with this to completion?

    At the moment I have to connect the DSP to a computer, wired, using an interface. I want to do access the Software on the computer and program the DSP wirelessly, can i do this with the CC2640R2F?

  • Hello,

    Although you will need to own the development of your application, we can help provide support through E2E as well as our sample code in the SDK. One integrated example is the BOOST5545ULP C5545 Booster Pack with CC2650 which can serve as a reference. You will need to connect with our DSP experts in the DSP forum or review the product material regarding different software options available for TI DSPs.

    For example, if your DSP uses an I2C interface you can use the I2C driver on the CC2640R2F and the programming mode of the DSP to develop your application to control the DSP.

    By chance, have you checked out SimpleLink Academy?
