BOOSTXL-CC2650MA: I need a MCU platform and its BLE plugin

Dear All,

I am seeking a MCU platform which has a BLE plugin. I require that

The MCU is very fast.
Low power is not a requirement because it will be powered by electric cable.
The MCU must also have a ethernet module.
The MCU can operate a Bluetooth module.
It has a Bluetooth plugin or driver for rapid development.

I already have the MSP432P401R and CC2650 package but the MCU is not fast enough for my project and has no ethernet module.

Thanks for your attention.

Hi Tim,

Do you need dual mode Bluetooth (Classic and BLE)?

Did you see the new CC2642R device? This one has an Arm M4 so it's slightly faster than the CC2650.

Sadly no ethernet so you would still need an MSP device.

Hello Marie,
I find this one closer to my requirement. It carries an ethernet module. Does it have a BLE plugin?
www.ti.com/.../msp-exp432e401y

Its page shows this package but I can't see any resource inside CCS v9.
SimpleLink MSP432E4 Ethernet LaunchPad + CC2640R2F LaunchPad Bundle

Can you confirm whether it has any BLE plugin or not?

I suppose you can porting MSP432P401R to msp-exp432e401y since they use the same CPU core.

Hi Tim,
We currently do not have a BLE-Plugin for MSP432, although we might have in the future.
