BLE scanning and CC256X firmware uploading

After thinking I had everything in place I have just got wound to the BLE scanning, and it turns out that it it not working. Basic Bluetooth functionality appraiser fine, but the BLE functionality is not there. Doh!

Following a hint from online I trued the command 01 01 FE 01 00 (HCI_VS_Write_BD_Addr) and that returned 0x01 (Unknown HCI Command), and that shown new firmware needs uploading. Has anyone done this?Any other suggestions for that matter?

Did you try the BTstack library: https://bluekitchen-gmbh.com/btstack-arduino/tutorial/#btstack-library

The reason the command did not work is that you have to first upload a "service pack" to the PAN1326 module so that it understands what you are asking.

The DIY route requires this (think this is the correct one, if not search on TI: https://www.ti.com/tool/CC256XB-BT-SP)

PS.

I was going to test to see whether you can upload this service pack onto the external flash on the MAX32630FTHR with an Arduino utility sketch. Then you wouldn't have to bundle it in with your code.

LOL. I could've saved myself some time by actually looking what's under my dev board. Assumption shows it teeth, yet again... the XIP flash IC turns out to be optional.
