WiLink 8 Support for AM3703

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WL1835MOD, WL1831MOD, AM3703

We are trying to add software to support BTLE on our product that currently uses WL1273 with AM3703.   We are considering using either the WL1831MOD or WL1835MOD migration path. I can’t seem to find a Bluetopia stack that will work with our A8 (AM3703CUS100). We are running a Montevista Linux build based on Linux 3.0.3. Do you have access to a build of Bluetopia or other Bluetooth stack that will run on our A8?

  • Mike,
    Easiest option for customer would be to compile open source bluez Bluetooth Stack with their toolchain. Bluetopia is not built for montavista toolchain and the toolchain is issue here, not the processor.

  • Hi Iain,

    I'm picking up this thread while Mike is on PTO. It's the customers understanding the statement “Bluetopia is not built for Montavista toolchain…” to mean that there are binary components of the Bluetopia stack that are not binary-compatible with our Montavista Linux 3.0.3 build. Do we have any idea what those components are? If we sent you our target and build tools could you build those needed Bluetopia components on-target?

    If our only path forward is BlueZ, could you recommend a BlueZ build procedure for beagleboard xM or similar experimenter board including the configuration items to interface with the TI1831MOD?

    Would this apply?

    Thanks,

  • Mark,

    You will need to discuss with BU if Bluetopia would be rebuilt for Montavista.

    I've not used the bluez build scripts listed on that page - I've always used a debian filesystem and done apt-get install. The scripts on that page should work but I can't give you any experience on them as I've not done it.
