CC2640R2F: HCI script file for iBeacon packet

Jo,

I don't see anything new, but the Github examples have a Beacon example at:

https://github.com/ti-simplelink/ble_examples/tree/ble_examples-2.2

I will try to find out if something newer is available and report back to this thread in case I find something.

Hope this helps,

Rafael

Jo,

Please apologize; I just got what you were actually asking. The recommended scripting tool is the HCI_tester

https://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/LPRF_BLE_HCITester

Despite it looks somewhat old, it has support for the latest devices.

I couldn't find a Simple Observer script (beacon-like behaviour), though.

Regards,

Rafael

Hi Rafael,

Below attachment is a script for CC2640 (old BLE Stack). Could you help to convert for CC2652 with BLE5 Stack ? Thank you.

There is a iBeacon example program.

Hi Kel,

Could you provide the link ? 

Is the example the script file for CC2652 HostTest FW ?

Thank you.

Hi,

The simple broadcaster example program for CC2640R2F, advertising packet can be set to iBeacon format. I am not sure if the same is implemented at latest CC2652 SDK. I don't understand why you need Btool to transmit iBeacon packets.

// GAP - Advertisement data (max size = 31 bytes, though this is
// best kept short to conserve power while advertisting)
static uint8 advertData[] =
{
  // Flags; this sets the device to use limited discoverable
  // mode (advertises for 30 seconds at a time) instead of general
  // discoverable mode (advertises indefinitely)
  0x02,   // length of this data
  GAP_ADTYPE_FLAGS,
  GAP_ADTYPE_FLAGS_BREDR_NOT_SUPPORTED,

#ifndef BEACON_FEATURE

  // three-byte broadcast of the data "1 2 3"
  0x04,   // length of this data including the data type byte
  GAP_ADTYPE_MANUFACTURER_SPECIFIC, // manufacturer specific adv data type

Hi Kel,

Thanks for your information. However, we use HostTest FW on CC2652. For HostTest, it need HCI commands to configure CC2652 behavior. It can use BTool or HCITester to set HCI commands. That's why we ask for the script files.

Thank you.
