CC2650STK: Development of SensorTag Android App (with some customization)

Part Number: CC2650STK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650, CC2640, CC2541, BLE-STACK

Hello,

I have an Android application developed using the older TI BLE stack, probably 1.4.2 or earlier, which runs fine with Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) phones.

If I try upgrading the application to use latest Android SDK in order to use it with the latest Android OS, 7.x etc, the application is running but the Bluetooth connection with the SensorTag fails.

I am thinking that the older TI BLE stack version is not compatible with the latest Android OS 7.x etc.

If the above fact is the reason for the failure, do I need to upgrade my Android application to use the latest TI BLE stack version 2.2.1? If so, can you please let me know the steps involved? I mean the steps involved in upgrading the Android Application using older TI BLE stack version to a new one using the latest TI BLE stack version 2.2.1?

I'll appreciate your help much in this regard.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Alexis.

  • Hello Alexis,

    The Android application and wireless MCU firmware versions are exclusive of each other. The 1.4.x firmware is for CC254x devices whilst the 2.2.x is for CC2640/CC2650 BLE-Stack. It's not clear what device you are using. If you are using CC2541, please make sure you review the pinned Android 6.x / 7.x post in the BLE forum and apply the findItem patch.

    Best wishes
