BOOSTXL-AOA: AOA RTLS not working

armand alka

Part Number: BOOSTXL-AOA
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2

i am using the BOOSTXL-AOA with 3 simplelink launchxl-cc2640r2. i am also using the sdk simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk_3_30_00_20. This is the only sdk version that is working for me, and it only works for RTLS_Monitor version 0.9.5. Also with this version, after a certain amount of time the data stops showing. All the other sdk releases dont work for me, even if i followed the steps properly. All the devices are connected properly and on the monitor i see "sampling ToF data" but then it stops there and no data is shown. can you provide me with some help on whch version of sdk should i use and what to do to fix this problem?

Thank you

Hello,

TI has made the decision to discontinue further development and support of the TI-proprietary Angle of Arrival (AoA) on the CC2640R2. We recommend and welcome our customers using AoA on CC2640R2 to transition from the CC2640R2 to the new RTLS examples based on the Bluetooth 5.1 specification which can be used with the CC13x2R and CC26x2R devices. These software examples can be found in the SimpleLink CC13x2 and CC26x2 software development kit 3.40 or later which features a Bluetooth 5.1 qualified stack with support of Bluetooth 5.1 Angle of Arrival. To make this transition, here is a list of available resources you can reference: Simple Link Academy, AoA stack users guide, LaunchPad Tool Order Page

If you have any questions about moving to the Bluetooth 5.1 AoA solution or any questions about the solution itself, please post to E2E!

Regards,

Jan

Hello,

That is correct. AoA support will now only be provided for the CC13X2 and CC26X2 devices. You may find a list of supported devices in the BOOSTXL-AOA product page.
