LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2: Bluetooth beacon

Thank you so much for the reply......

I will try with simple broadcaster example.

Is there any coding in the same example to broadcast information such as chip temperature,RSSI,Battery voltage of beacon??

For broadcasting temperature and battery voltage, you have to add them into advertising by your own.

Ok. Thank you.....

If i go with development of bluetooth beacon using CC2640R2F chip, what will be the better solution to update firmware of that beacon??

Via OTA or via USB??

If OTA, then any library files are available for OTA firmware update???

If USB,then any emulator is required for the same???how to interface CC2640R2 chip with host during programming??

If your application only does bluetooth beacon, it won’t be able to do OAD. I would suggest you to use serial bootloader which you can refer to http://www.ti.com/lit/an/swra466b/swra466b.pdf

No. Actually i want OTA firmware update facility.I am planning to use Proteus II (AMB2623) as transmitter to update firmware of BT beacons wirelessly.

Initially i am planning to make TI's LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2 board as a bluetooth broadcaster(act as bluetooth beacon) using simple broadcaster example.

I hope it will works fine...

Please suggest me the feasibility of the same...

I have told you if your application only does bluetooth beacon, it won’t be able to do OAD.

I am little bit confused about the things....

if i installed my bluetooth beacons on the site & in future if i want to update some of the parameters send from beacon....then how can i update the firmware of that beacons witch is already installed on site....In that scenario, OTA firmware updation is useful without disturbing the site installation we can update our bluetooth beacon firmware.

that's why i am trying to do these things for OTA update.

If you need OAD, I suppose you also need to add BLE peripheral capability into your application so it can do broadcaster and OAD by peripheral.

Thank you so much for clearing my confusion....

Now i got cleared that, if i use peripheral role(using simple peripheral example from SDK) it can transmit the information with defined time interval(working as bluetooth beacon or broadcaster) & also it can work as receiver when i get into bootloader mode......

I gone through the document suggested by you for serial bootloader,but it required UART or SPI interface between host & device....And exactly i want it to do wirelessly.....That's why i am looking for OTA option.....

Its called configurable beacon. You can change from non-connectable beacon mode to connectable peripheral mode.
