CC2540: Application problem of CC2540

Part Number: CC2540
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2642R, CC2640, CC2544

1. Can the CC2540 update the firmware via USB? Is there a similar tool?
2.CC2540 only has 8K SRAM, 128/256K ROM. After running the Bluetooth protocol stack, at the application layer, which is the approximate amount of ROM and RAM we can use? Is it a complicated application that cannot be done?

  • 1. As I know, you cannot do this by default. However, if you add serial boot loader by yourself, it is possible.

    2. It depends on you application. You can check the MAP file for RAM/Flash usage details.

    By the way, CC2540 is obsolete and it's recommended to use CC2640R2 or CC2642R for new BLE application and design.

  • I want to use CC2540 on BLE, 2, 4G, USB three-mode mouse, it only has 8K SRAM, 128/256K ROM. CC2640 only has BLE, 2.4G. I just want to know how much left in the application level after CC2544 runs the BLE5.0 protocol stack, probably just fine. That is, how much ROM and RAM can I use for me? Is it a complicated application that cannot be done?

  • Hi Peggie,

    The CC2544 does not support BLE at all. The CC2540 is Bluetooth 5 qualified although only offers 4.x feature set. You will need to compile and check the .map file.
