BOOST-CC2564MODA: Schematic and Programming Guide For The CC2564 on The BOOST-CC2564MODA Board

Part Number: BOOST-CC2564MODA
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2564

Hello,

I bought an BOOST-CC2564MODA Board and saw that it has a button and a micro-usb connector on it.   Was the micro-usb connector used for programming the CC2564 on the BOOST-CC2564MODA Board?  Can you provide design files (EagleCAD, BOM and Schematic) for the BOOST-CC2564MODA Board?

Thanks.

    The micro-USB on the BOOST-CC2564MODA is for power only. The CC256x devices do not require programming. The host stack running on the host processor (i.e. MSP432 MCU) will initialize the CC256x controller. Please refer to the following documentation regarding this EVM.

    Please see the attached. The board design files are in Altium format.

  • Thank you Vihang for the files!

    So the CC256x is not an SoC IC like the CC254x which I know it can be programmed and run by itself without a host MCU?

    Thanks.

    That is correct. The CC256x are dual-mode Bluetooth controller that has implementation of HCI and below layers (of the Bluetooth spec) inside the device. It requires dual-mode Bluetooth stack running on the host. A host in this can be an MCU like MSP432 or an MPU like AM335x.

    Like I mentioned above, the CC256x does not need to be flashed. It just requires the host to initialize (power-up and download the service-pack).
