CC2564: How does coding differ between different bluetooth chips?

William Randolph

Part Number: CC2564
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650,

Hi,

I am new to bluetooth programming and have been working on a low energy system. I was originally planning to us a cc2650 but am switching to the cc2564 to use the preexisting module form. However I originally acquired a cc2650 evaluation board to test out the bluetooth programming. Could I use the cc2650 evaluation board to develop the code and successfully port it over to the cc2564 or are their some system differences and I should get a cc2564 evaluation board for coding purposes?

Thanks for the help!

Hi William,

The two devices are completely different. The CC2564 requires and external host processor to run the BT stack, either Linux based, or MSP432 or STM32 are supported by TI. Please check out the following link for our access to our Bluetopia stack, service pack, and example code. EVM link is provided too.

Hi Travis,

Sorry to ask you to repeat yourself but I just want to make sure I fully understand. The CC2564MODA can not function by itself to provide bluetooth, for instance simply transferring the analog output of a circuit to a phone, without additional hardware in the circuit containing the BT stack? Could you provide an example of a Linux based external host processor?

Thank you,

William

Correct, the CC2564 needs a host processor to run the BT stack.

Based on your input above with the CC2650, I thought you may have preferred a MCU type of host processor like the MSP432. If you prefer a Linux based processor, TI's AM335x would be a great choice. A link to the EVM is below and the CC2564 EVM that I mentioned above would directly plug into this without the need for the adapter.
