RTOS/CC2650: How to Port Code to Different TI RTOS Version

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Hello,

I am working on a custom board with a CC2650 chip and a LoRaWAN chip for research. When joined my research team I was given BLE code (modified project zero) for the board which runs on TI-RTOS v2.20.1.08, XDCtools v3.32.0.06, and ARM compiler v5.2.8. I was also given LoRa code which runs on TI-RTOS v2.18.0.03, XDCtools v3.32.1.22, and ARM compiler v5.2.8. I have been working on these code bases individually, but I need to merge the two projects together. What is the best way to port one of the projects to the version of TI-RTOS that the other is using?

Thanks!

According to processors.wiki.ti.com/.../CC2640_Porting_Projects , it is not recommended to change TI-RTOS version if you want to use BLE-Stack. I suggest you to ask the one who gives you LoRa code to see if the code can be run on TI-RTOS v2.20.1.08

Hi YiKai,

Thanks for your response. I think the LoRa code can be ported, but the project has been passed over to me so I would need to do it. I was hoping to find some kind of guide on what needs to be changed and what needs to be considered to make the code work on 2.20.1.08 because I'm not sure what the differences are between the two rtos versions and am unsure as to what I need to change in order to make the code work with the newer version.

Thanks!

I think there is no big difference if you only use RF part. You can check the release node to know what exactly changes in different RTOS version. By the way, Lora solution should be only supported on Semtech Chip. How can you get Lora code running on TI chip?

Thanks! I have a separate lora chip that interfaces with the cc2650 via GPIO. I'm basically using the cc2650 as a microcontroller and for bluetooth.

If so, I think it should be no problem to use BLE TI RTOS version as a base to porting to code.
