CC1352P: BLE beacons by Radio Operation Command

Shamrel Alexander

Part Number: CC1352P

Hello!
We make a project with the CC1352 chip. We use 6LoWPAN from Contiki-NG. Everything works fine at 868 MHz. Now we need to work with BLE beacons.
The beacon transfer was implemented via the CMD_BL E5_ADV_NC command. I can't receive BLE beacons. There are exists CMD_BL E5_AD_SCAN, CMD_BL5_SCANNER, and CMD_BL5_GENERIC_RX commands. Please, tell me, how can i use them?
I would like to accept BLE beacons and measure their RSSI.

Hi Shamrel,

How did you implement the beacon? Did you use the beacon example from the SDK?

Thanks,
Elin

No. The example from the SDK uses the full BLE stack, which requires TI-RTOS. I can't use TI-RTOS. I use Contiki-NG. I send beacons using the CMD_BLE5_ADV_NC command directly.

Hi Shamrel,

Thanks for sharing.

Contiki is not developed or maintained by TI, which means that it's not included when we test our software. Please refer to the contiki community for support.

Thanks,
Elin

I understand, but I don't care if it is contiki NG or NO-RTOS. The question is it possible to provide reception of beacons using CMD_BLE5_ADV_SCAN, CMD_BLE5_SCANNER and CMD_BLE5_GENERIC_RX directly. The Technical Reference Manual SWCU185D provides a description of these commands, but there is no examples of usage. I would like to find such example. How can I receive BLE beacons without Ti-RTOS and BLE stack? Do you have any examples of receiving proprietary packets without RTOS?

Hi Shamrel,

You can use these commands in SmartRF Studio.

Thanks,
Elin
