Original question:

Problem in communicating to WL1873 through Bluetooth UART HCI Port by using UART-to-USB converter on PC

CC2564MODA: Want to send HCI commands from my PC to CC2564MODA

Part Number: CC2564MODA
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: , CC256XCQFN-EM

Hi,

I am trying to create an RF setup with CC2564MODA on top of MSP432P401R. I want to control the controller using HCI commands from PC using HCITester. 

Earlier i was loading one of the profiles from bluetooth stacks, because of which i was receiving timeout error when entered HCI commands. 

From one of the forums i came to know that to do so, i need to put MSP432 into transparent mode, so it takes USB input from PC through a COM port and accordingly provides HCI commands to the controller or vice-versa.

Also came to know that something like that used to be part of Hardware evaluation tool which has been depreciated due to windows incompatibility. 

So can you please help me regarding it? Is there an API or profile which i can load on MSP432 and it will work in transport mode and take input from USB and send HCI commands to the Controller?

Also i want to know if there is any requirement to connect any jumpers? Currently i am just putting CC2564MODA on top of MSP432P401R evaluation board without connecting any jumpers. 

Please respond as soon as possible. 

Thanks,

Deepak

    Hi Deepak,

    Please try the attached example to run MSP432P401R in transparent mode. I've added some instructions in the readme.txt file.

    The default jumper configuration should be sufficient to bring up the board. Please refer to the following User's Guide for details.

    Thank you so much Vihang, this helped me. I am able to send commands to CC2564MODA using above program. 

    I didn't need to set __SUPPORT_BOOST_MODA__ flag in predefined symbols as described in the readme notes. but Just for curiosity i would like to know where do i need to define this flag if it had to be done? 

    Thanks,

    Deepak

    Hi Deepak,

    I'm glad you have it working!

    This flag would need to be defined in the "pre-defined symbols" for the project so it applies to all the files in that project (Project Properties in CCS for example).

    If you are using SDK version 4.0.x.x, you will not need to define this flag as the BOOST-CC2564MODA is the only EVM supported in that version. However, the newer 4.2.x.x versions support the CC256XCQFN-EM as well (by default). So the __SUPPORT_BOOST_MODA__ flag is required for 4.2.x.x or later versions.
