LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2: SDK 4.10.00.10 and RTLS UI

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2


Hello!

I can't seem to be able to find RTLS agent folder from the newest SDK for CC2640R2 launchboard. Is it not included anymore?

Another question which is kind of related. I am currently trying to evaluate AoA with 3x CC2640R2 boards and one BOOSTXL-AOA.

There are couple of issues: I can get it to work only with one configuration, which is the one where passive device does the AoA measurement and masters device is only holding the connection. But this only works if I have master device as RX in AoA capabilities. According to the simple link example this is not supposed to be the case. If i turn off the RX capabilities of the master, I cannot enable AoA from the RTLS UI anymore.

Also I am able to enable the AoA at RTLS UI when using only master device without passive, but in that case no AoA data is received at all.

Hope my explanations made any sense.

    Dear customer,

    As a supplier of Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) solutions we are committed to making available high quality software stacks with a focus on interoperability and broad market adoption.

    In previous Software Development Kits (SDKs), TI introduced, on an experimental basis, a new innovative ranging technology called Time-of-Flight (ToF) together with our BLE Software Stack as a software example to demonstrate one possible option for new ranging technologies. This ToF example technology was based on a proprietary extension demonstrating operation between compatible TI devices only.

    In this increasingly connected world, interoperability between different suppliers and systems is a critical value and TI listens to this market and customer requirement. Moving forward, TI has decided to merge our secure ranging efforts onto a standardized solution with focus on broad adaption and interoperability.

    As part of this decision to focus on standardized solutions, TI has made the decision to discontinue further development and support of the TI-proprietary ToF and TI-proprietary Angle-of-Arrival (AoA) software examples in the SDKs listed below:

    (*) Angle-of-Arrival software examples based on the Bluetooth 5.1 specification are not affected by this change.

    We recommend to transition from proprietary Real Time Locating System (RTLS) software examples to the new RTLS software examples based on the Bluetooth 5.1 specification. These examples are included in the SimpleLink™ CC13x2 and CC26x2 software development kit 3.40 or later.

    At the same time, we are placing an emphasis on creating a standard for secured ranging technologies and intend to convert the existing technology when these solutions become available.

    For further information please contact your local TI sales representative.

    Best regards,
