CC2540: CC2540 USB Dongle Windows 10 x64 Driver

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PACKET-SNIFFER, BLE-STACK, SMARTRFTM-STUDIO

I'm trying to use the CC2540 USB Dongle as a packet sniffer. It was pre-programmed with the corresponding firmware, but I don't manage to install it on my PC and use it as a sniffer tool. I have already tested with the 2 packet sniffer applications from TI, but it keeps saying there is no driver for it. I found an x86 driver in the sniffer installation folder, but not x64. Installing the BLE stack there are x86 and x64 drivers available but not for this VID/PID (VID_0451&PID_16B3). Is there a 64bit driver for Win 10? Where can I find it?

Best regards

I can run the CC2540 USB dongle PACKET-SNIFFER v2.18.1 firmware on my Win10 x64 machine. Note that you must install this package since the CEBAL driver used by the packet sniffer is not bundled with the BLE-Stack.

I attach the driver for your reference.

Hi, in the PACKET-SNIFFER v2.18.1 the driver is only for x86 architecture, this is why I have asked here for the x64 driver version. In the meantime there is another answer to my question with the x64 driver version attached, that solved my problem :-)

Hi Fernando,

Thanks for letting us know. After investigating, I confirmed the latest W10 x64 driver is bundled with SmartRF Studio 7 (SMARTRFTM-STUDIO) and installed at C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\SmartRF Tools\Drivers\cebal

YiKai Chen - I edited your post above to point to SmartRF Studio 7 such that the latest driver is obtained for others who view this post.

Best wishes
