RTOS/CC3220SF-LAUNCHXL: How to add BLE (CC2650 or CC2640R2) to a WiFi MCU (CC3220sf)

Hi,

I've been working around the Project_Zero for the CC2650 with the MSP432 example project to understand how the library works.

Now I would like to add the BLE library to the CC3220sf MCU. I'm designing a product that requires WiFi and BLE.

I also ordered a CC3640R2 launchpads to evaluate these chips.

Ti has a very nice documentation, but haven't find any guide how to port the BLE library to another mcu. In particular I need to run it in a CC3220sf. If I could run the project_zero on the CC3220sf would help me a lot.

Could you point me to the steps I should follow to run the SimpleLink SDK BLE Plugin in the CC3220sf launchpad?

Thank you very much

I don't think you can run SimpleLink BLE plugin in CC3220sf launchpad. For your application, you should run HostTest on CC2650 and use HCI command from CC3220 to communicate with CC2650 to do BLE communication. You can refer to TIDC-BLE-TO-WIFI-IOT-GATEWAY reference design.

Hi Eugenio,

The BLE plugin will be updated to support the CC3220S/SF. This is currently planned for release first week of April and will provide examples where you can combine the CC3220 LP + CC2650 BP to have a Wi-Fi + BLE system.

Regards,
Michael

Thanks, I can't wait for that. I've been trying to understand all the dependencies to make the port my self but that will help a lot.

Thanks,

Thanks, I already looked at this design but didn't see the firmware portion of this. I'll look again.

Thanks,
