Hi Wukong,

Can you please provide me the log file of your application? I am especially interested in the first messages received on the GUI.

By the way, can you also precise which SDK version you are using?

Thanks and regards,

5001.eventlog (1).csv

This is my log file. The SDK version I am using is simplelink_cc13x2_26x2_sdk_3_20_00_68.

Hi,

Can you do the following test for me? Can you try to only activate AoA on your device? To do so, you have to slightly modify the embedded code as followed:

For the master, in the main function, find and modify the following line:

rtlsConfig.rtlsCapab = (rtlsCapabilities_e)(RTLS_CAP_RTLS_MASTER | RTLS_CAP_AOA_RX);

For the passive:

rtlsConfig.rtlsCapab = (rtlsCapabilities_e)(RTLS_CAP_RTLS_PASSIVE | RTLS_CAP_CM | RTLS_CAP_AOA_RX);

(no modification is required on the slave)

Please do this and send me your log file,

Best regards,

I followed https://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless-connectivity/bluetooth/f/538/t/826180 and it works. I can recive aoa data now.

I have an another question. How can I use "winpty ./rtls_agent_cli.exe -p 8777" in mac? It shows that the "winpty" is not command. Is there a substitute for the same sentence in mac?

Nice, glad to see you are moving forward :)

Instead of using winpty, you can basically use the binary made for MAC OS. It is located in your SDK under the following folder: simplelink_cc13x2_26x2_sdk_3_20_00_68\tools\ble5stack\rtls_agent\bin\mac

I hope this will help,

Regards,

But when I open the binary, it shows that

I can only type sudo python3 ./rtls_agent_cli.py in terminal to use it. How can I use the binary directly?

On this specific point I won't be able to help you (it is out of my field of competence and I cannot do any tests using a MAC).

With that said, if you manage using the python script (python3 ./rtls_agent_cli.py), then you don't need to spend more time trying to run the binary (both files are supposed to do exactly he same thing).

With regard to that, can I consider your issue as solved?
