CCS/CC2640R2F: Correct version of install and documentation

Part Number: CC2640R2F
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2640, , SIMPLELINK-CC2640R2-SDK, BLE-STACK

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hy,

after using CC2640 for quite some time and some projects we start to develop the first application with the CC2640R2F, mainly to get rid of the external memory for OAD.

I am a bit confused about the documentation and the versioning of necessary SDK.

On http://www.ti.com/tool/SIMPLELINK-CC2640R2-SDK I find a SIMPLELINK-CC2640R2-SDK in version v2.20.00.49. That is probably the correct one, right?

I kind of miss the updated swru393. The latest is version "e" which does not cover 2640R2, right?

Instead, there is an html based Users Guide in C:/ti/simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk_2_20_00_49/docs/blestack/ble_user_guide/html/ble-stack-3.x-guide/index.html or at

http://software-dl.ti.com/simplelink/esd/simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk/2.20.00.49/exports/docs/blestack/ble_user_guide/html/ble-stack-3.x-guide/index.html

Is that what replaces the swru393 Users Guide?

In these html documents it reads "BLE-Stack 3.02.00.00". What is version 3.02.00.00 and how does it relate to v2.20.00.49?

But of course, there is also

http://dev.ti.com/tirex/content/simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk_2_20_00_49/docs/ble5stack/ble_user_guide/html/ble-stack-5.x-guide/index-cc2640.html

Is that good, too? The "BLE5" in the name, does that relate to BLE5 vs BLE4.2? Or does it compete with 3.02.00 or 2.20.00.49? Would 2.20.00.49 not support BLE5? I guess it does, because in the installation directory there is one folder named C:\ti\simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk_2_20_00_49\examples\rtos\CC2640R2_LAUNCHXL\ble5stack . That must be BLE5.

So: Whats the secret behind version numbers? Am I correct when downloading simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk_2_20_00_49.exe and CCS8.1.0.00011_win32.zip and start coding?

Best regards

Harald

    Hi Harald,

    Yes you are correct to download simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk_2_20_00_49 and CCS8.1.0 and start coding.

    In the simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk_2_20_00_49 you will find several software components and each software component has a version number. For the BLE-Stack (Bluetooth 4.2 stack) the version number is 3.02.00.00.

    There is also a Bluetooth 5 enabled stack, BLE5-Stack. You can read about the difference between the BLE-Stack and the BLE5-Stack in the FAQ post.

    Depending on whether you choose to use the BLE-Stack or the BLE5-Stack, the BLE-Stack User's Guide or the BLE5-Stack User's Guide replace swru393.
