WL1835MOD: TI-BT-4-2-STACK-LINUX-ADDON installed but version is 4.1

Hi Thomas, 

Did you install the BTS into path /lib/firmware/ti-connectivity/ on your target? If so, could you perform 'ls -al' on this directory and reply me here with the output?

Hello Sabeeh Khan1,

yes, I installed the firmware. Please see my original post for the steps I did. I assume you mean step #2. I'm on a business trip and have no access to the device yet. But I remember that after the reboot the firmware file in TIInit_11.8.32BT4.2.bts in /lib/firmware/ti-connectivity seems to be renamed to TIInit_11.8.32.bts.

Regards,

Thomas

Hello Sabeeh Khan1,

here the content of the requested folder:

root@am335x-evm:/home/testApp# ll /lib/firmware/ti-connectivity/

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        673328 Mar 31  2014 wl18xx-fw-2.bin*

But on start of my application I got also:

So on a second run I copied the TIInit_11.8.32BT4.2.bts also to /lib/firmware, killed SS1BTPM, restart SS1BTPM and test application:

On the third run I copied TIInit_11.8.32BT4.2.bts to /lib/firmware/TIInit_11.8.32.bts. But in this case the DevicePowerOn failed:

This issue is also the case after restart of the whole device and re-run of the procedure.

Hi Sabeeh Kahn1 can you lease have a look on our feedback and tell us who we can fix?

Hi Bernd,

I apologize for the delay. Let me discuss internally with a colleague and I'll get back to you tomorrow. 

Hi Bernd, 

You should be using TIInit_11.8.32.bts from WL18XX-BT-SP. This is the latest that we provide and should be updated for 5.1.

Hi Sabeeh,

this is what we did we used the files from the latest WL18XX-BT-SP in Version 4.8 that we can find on the TI homepage from NOV 2021.
But still the stack reports V4.1?

We are unsure about this statement here:

Note: Please, use the BTS file “TIInit_11.8.32-BT4.2.bts” For BT4.2 TIBluetopiaPM stack. This BTS
file contains two VS commands to set FW core version to 4.2 to be compatible with 4.2 BluetopiaPM
stack.

Does this mean we have rename the file TIInit_11.8.32-BT4.2.bts to TIInit_11.8.32.bts that is used instead of the original one?

Thank you for your support
