Bluetooth question

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2540

Hi!

I have bougth a development kit of CC2540, but I am new in bluetooth design. Is there a simple way to use bluetooth point to point? Nowadays I use USB by  FTDI and I would like to change for bluetooth.

What the basic commands to make a link between two devices? (Master and slave)

Thanks.

Galbas.

    Currently we do not have any sample projects implementing a BLE device with the GAP central (master) role. This means that for now your only options are to either use the USB Dongle connected to the PC as a network processor, or to develop your own central-side application using the BLE stack API. If you've installed the software you should also be able to find the API guide here:

    C:\Texas Instruments\BLE-CC2540\Documents\BLE_API_Guide_main.htm

    At some point in the future we plan on implementing some central-side applications, and will certainly post an announcement on the forums here when we do.

    Hi Sandeep!

    Thank you for your attention, I have another question. I want to use the CC2540 with a PC or Tablet and the server would be my device, can I use Texas Instruments device driver (CDC) without any license? I have a specific product that just "talk" with another product made by me too. I want to do the same for bluetooth chip (CC2540), is it possible?

    Thanks.

    The USB Dongle is actually using a standard Windows driver usbser.sys. The INF file simply associates the dongle with this driver for serial communications. You are free to use this INF files as desired for your application.
