Part Number: TIDC-CC2650RC
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650RC, CC2640, CC2650

Dear Experts,

We need some help and information related with this design reference for remote control.

I'm new in this TI chips and BLE world. Here it is some beginning sort of question :

1. We're interesting for this ref design due to our plan to dev BLE remote controller for one of Android TV box model based on android 8 oreo.

    Is this reference design will compatible  for voice search command?

2. in current design reference, chips used is CC2650RC which support for multi protocol.

   For custom board BLE RCU design, can we replace with CC2640 ( BLE only chips)? and how about application sw and sdk?

3. Please sort of all requirement (Board Dev and Application Module mainly) that may we missed.

    I have download SDK, Code Composer , BLE Example etc. And remain which board dev/module that may we need to speed up to production mode.

Thank you...

  • Hello,

    1. This design uses the TI voice profile, so out of the box it is only compatible with TI receivers from a voice perspective. HID over GATT will be supported by most BLE devices including Android. Regarding the new Android voice STB specification, it is possible to implement this on top of the HID Advanced remote control by removing the TI voice profile and replacing with the android profile. All of this is done in open source code that can be freely modificed.

    2. Yes, the CC2640 can be dropped in place of the CC2650. No hardware or software changes are needed.

    3. The Software Developer's Guide which is included in the BLE-SDK's docs folder will list all of the pre requisites and how to install them. Check the release notes to be sure that you are using the correct compiler versions.
