Wanting to implement SPP in the simplest possible way

Folks, I've already asked this once and it was clear that people didn't understand the question first time so I'm having another go.

I want to implment the above in the simplest possible way. The bit in red is what we need, we have the bit in blue.

1. I want to send UART data out of our STM32 into the Bluetooth chip which will then magically turn that UART data into SPP data and send it out to a computer. I do not want to run any sort of Bluetooth stack whatsoever on the STM32.

2. The  bit in red cannot be a module. It has to be a chip. This is for an intrinsically safe product. We cannot use a module.

3. We do not want multiple chips doing the bit in red, we want a single chip solution.

4. Ideally, we'd like the bit in red to be available as a dev kit that we can use said dev kit in parallel to develop the STM32 code.

5. Ideally, we'd like to have to write zero software for the bit in red, but am now starting to believe we might have to write a little.

6. We do not want to have to use Code Composer to write any code if we do have to develop something in the red chip.

7. We do not want to (and in fact cannot) run any sort of Bluetooth stack whatsoever on the STM32. I know I am repeating myself, but this is vital to understand.

So does anything exist in the TI portfolio please?

I would stress we do not want LE, we only want classic. And we need a stand alone solution, we cannot run any Bluetooth stack on our STM32. (Repeated again for absolute clarity.)

Many thanks :)

 

  • Hello Robert,

    It looks like you already looked into all the possible scenarios. Anyway, please read my comments below:

    We do have modules that you can use, but it looks like it is out of the question.

    I was going to recommend the MSP432 plus the CC256x Booster Pack. This could work as a single dev kit but it does not meet the single chip solution requirement

    There is a SPP example available on IAR and CCS that could be loaded into the MSP432 + CC256x Booster Pack (most likely the example would run OoB, so no need for software development), but again this does not meet the single chip solution requirement.

    Unfortunately, on the current TI's portfolio, the device that you are looking is not available.
