CC3301: AM62A Drivers to Enable BLE

Holden Wozniak

Part Number: CC3301

Tool/software:

I am trying to enable bluetooth for the CC3301. I have a device tree and image with scripts that allows for the CC3301 to connect to a WiFi network.

I tried running the installer at https://www.ti.com/tool/download/CC33XX-LINUX-MPU/1.0.0.8 but it is built for x86_64 systems. Is there an installer anywhere that builds the drivers? Looking through documentation I keep seeing mentions of the COEX allowing for WiFi and BT on a shared antenna but cannot find anywhere how to utilize bluetooth.

This is not correct. The installer simply gives you the source code that is contained in the CC33xx SDK. The installer itself is built for x86 systems but not the actual source code.

Which AM62A SDK are you working with?

Assuming you are using the latest Am62A SDK (v11.01), you can then apply this patch to the kernel to add BLE driver support: https://github.com/TexasInstruments-Sandbox/cc33xx-linux-mpu-ports/tree/main/ti-linux-6.12.y

Take a look at our documentation that can help you with this process: https://dev.ti.com/tirex/content/CC33XX_LINUX_MPU_1_00_00_09__all/docs/linux/html/linux/kernel-porting-guide.html

After apply the patch and building the driver, you will then need to modify your devicetree for the driver to load successfully.
