I wish the mapping of the pins from the debug headers to the actual chip was more straight forward. The same pin corresponds to theВ pin 7В on the prob connector. For example,В the IO pinВ P0.1В from CC2540В corresponds to EM_BUTTON1/EM_LED4_SOC at EM connectorВ pin 5. To access a specific pin on from CC2540, we need to do a little mapping of the ports specified from the tables shown above. The probe connectors give access to these pins, but the mapping from the EM -> Probe pinouts are not straight forward. More details can be found on SmartRF05EB boardвЂ™s user guide. On my rev 1.8 board, these pin outs correspond to board connectors P5 and P6, respectively. The pins that are brought out via evaluation module connectors are mapped to various peripherals on SmartRF05EB board. Most of the IO ports are routed to the first SMD socket (evaluation module socket), and is accessible from one of the debug headers located on P18 on SmartRF05EB. The evaluation module that houses the actual CC2540 chip has all of the IO pins brought out to accessible debug headers. Next, the CC2540вЂІs pin labels in the current package: This chip has all major peripherals and hardware capability of modern microcontrollers, as you can see from the functional diagram below. The only different between the two is the flash space as the name indicates.

IAR 8051 TRIAL SOFTWARE

We would love to see an opensource version of the software stack written for compilers such as SDCC.

The only downside is that the software stack is written only for IAR Workbench, which requires license to create compiled hex beyond 4Kb (free version limit).

IAR 8051 TRIAL TRIAL

IAR Workbench for 8051вЂ“ thereвЂ™s 30 day trial version you can use to testДЄs for this writing, this is the only dev kit that provides both the hardware and the necessary software stack to test out BLE functionality in a single package.

BTTool вЂ“ comes with ble download and can be used to send BLE specific commands.

SmartRF StudioВ вЂ“ application that can control CCxxxx devices.

SmartRF Protocol Packet SnifferВ вЂ“ sniffs the packets and provides helpful display.

SmartRF FlasherВ вЂ“ flashes the chip with designated firmware (.hex file).

In order to test out different examples provided with TIвЂ™s ble stackВ download, several other tools need to be setup:

Bluetooth v4.0 compliant profile implementations and examples.

Development project workspaces available for testing on IAR Workbench.

Significant sofware stack for interfacing with the hardware.

Only BLE hardware implementation that has coupled host microcontroller in a single chip (SoC: System On Chip).

The target chip is any compatible CC device as previously mentioned, which is surface mounted onto the evaluation module PCBs.

In addition, it has necessary components to flash and debug the target chip. The SmartRF05EB contains lots of peripherals such as LCD, Joystick, LEDs, Potentiometer, switches, etc. The CC2540DK kit comes with two CC2540EM evaluation modules and two SmartRF05EB boards. As such, itвЂ™s compatible with other wireless evaluation modules CCxxxx. These boards are also used for their line of wireless modules created by ChipCon (subsidiary of TI). The larger of the devkit CC2540DK contains general-purpose development / evaluation board called SmartRF05EB. They provide complete development tools, and they come in two forms: This chip contains not only the bluetooth LE radio, but also programmable 8051 core. Texas Instrument manufactures an integrated BLE chip called CC2540.
