CC2650: How do we update over the air?

Part Number: CC2650
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2640, ,

1. I am new to embedded systems, I was able to do some basic analog functions with the microcontroller but I do not understand how to update it over the air. Can someone direct me to the correct link for a tutorial. I have been circling around for a while.

2. When it is connected to power supply. I can't find the device from my phone SensorTag software, could it be because I already uploaded some different light blinking codes to the device? OR Also, I am working in an environment with 40 other Bluetooth devices, could it be because the CC2650 also has no name on its Bluetooth name?

1. There is OAD user guide in BLE Stack document folder.
2. Which BLE Stack example do you test?

Can you give me the direct link to any example, as well as the specific OAD user guide in that example? I am lost. I have a CC2650 launchpad, I am trying to update it wirelessly.

If you install BLE Stack v2.2.1, you can find CC2640 BLE OAD User's Guide.pdf under C:\ti\simplelink\ble_sdk_2_02_01_18\docs and OAD examples under C:\ti\simplelink\ble_sdk_2_02_01_18\examples\cc2650lp\simple_peripheral

I am having trouble finding answers to the following questions:

1. How can I use my phone to upload firmware update into the target?

2. What software do I download simplelink or sensortag? How do I upload my dummy code to my phone and to the target? I understand it is on the datasheet, but I just

3. How do I upload my update code to my phone?

Can you specify which HW you use for this OAD test? CC2650STK or LAUNCHXL-CC2650? There is a reference OAD example for iOS at github.com/.../OADKit

It is LAUNCHXL-CC2650, thank you. Yeah, and I am lost when it comes to transferring data from phone to LAUNCHXL-CC2650. The tutorial on "CC2640 BLE OAD User's Guide" only talks about using IRA for transfer, but I need to use code composer studio.

OAD example can be built on both IAR and CCS.

So I am working on a Mac, and I can't download the simple_peripheral_stack and simple_peripheral_app. Can you provide me with a link?

I am working on a Mac, and I can't download the simple_peripheral_stack and simple_peripheral_app, in the ira folder there is NO CC2650LP. Can you provide me with a link for simple_peripheral_stack and simple_peripheral_app?

You have to find a windows desktop to install BLE Stack and copy the files to your Mac.
