Running HostTestRelease on the keyfob

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5529

Hello,

is it possible for me to run the HostTestRelease app on the keyfob using the CC2540EM Slave configuration (the software developers guide says the build was made for the SmartRF05EB + CC2540EM)? I am asking this because of the limited time I'm able to use the IAR trial(30 days) and this way I can develop my api on a secondary MCU.

If it's possible, should I connect the secondary device to the debug header pins 5,4,3,2 (P0_5 to P0_2)?

Many thanks in advance for your assistance in this,

 

Gijs

    I've never attempted this before, but I can't see any reason why this wouldn't work. A couple of things to keep in mind if you are attempting this:

    1. The HostTestRelease project does not use power management, so a coin cell battery would not last very long running the application. You probably will want to use an external power source.

    2. The HAL drivers used for the project are based on the SmartRF05 + CC2540EM platform, so it is possible (though maybe not; I haven't looked into this enough) you might need to modify these to get everything working right.

    If you could follow-up to let everyone on the form know your progress it would be appreciated!

    Is there any document explaining the working principle of HostTestRelease, in a detailed way??

    The SW developer's guide 9http://www.ti.com/litv/pdf/swru271) explains it a bit. For additional information on the different commands and their parameters, check out the HCI Vendor Specific Guide, which can be found here after installation: C:\Texas Instruments\BLE-CC2540\Documents\TI_BLE_Vendor_Specific_HCI_Guide.pdf

    Did anything come of this? I have flashed the keyfob with the HostTestRelease EB configuration and am getting responses over UART. However, I'm getting error codes when I should be getting SUCCESS (0x00) codes. Please see my latest post:

    Hi, I am new for BluetoothLE(bluetooth as well). I am sorry if i am asking some very basic/non sense questions 1. Is it possible use HostTestRelease project only with CC2540EM board(without SmartRF05). 2. Can we flash CC2540EM with CC debugger 3. Can we communicate with CC250EM from MSP430F5529 Experiment board via UART.
