LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2: SIMPLELINK-CC2640R2-BLE5-EVAL stack features?

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2

Can you provide additional clarity regarding BT5 LE features enabled by the SW stack and the Launchpad?

Specifically, does the solution support full HCI over UART, advertising extensions and coded PHY?

Thanks.

  • Gregory,

    Yes it does. As detailed in the release notes:

    Bluetooth 5 feature support for Long Range (LE Coded PHY) and Advertisement Extensions to permit establishing BLE connections on the LE Coded PHYs as well as broadcasting larger payloads using extended advertisement

    As for HCI over UART, yes this is possible as well. The included Host Test example provides a network processor application, where the HCI layer is implemented through UART.
