Need Help With Tools : A2541R24A AIR module

gsgill112

I had taken part in one of the Roadtest Regarding an Anaren BLE Boosterpack. Few years earlier the company stopped the support to these Modules , Now I unfortunately don't have an application to program these Modules, earlier provided by the company.

So, These Modules (A2541R24A AIR module) are based in TI's CC2541 Soc which is still in production.

If someone have used them can you please provide me the old software to be able to reuse these devices, Or can you please provide me with some references to change the onboard BLE stack to a TI Stack so that I can USE TI;s Tools to program these modules.

 

 

Thanks an Regards,

  • Hi Gurinder,

     

    I thought if you wanted to use a TI stack, then it had to be a paid environment (compiler, build tools) for the CC2541, for example IAR, otherwise it would be a fair amount of effort to try to port it to a different compiler. I forget what the other paid option was, maybe Keil.

    When I checked with IAR, it was fairly pricey unless it was for a business. On the other hand if you are a business, then from past (non-CC2541) experience IAR is truly excellent. Really great environment, and their documentation was quite good.

    With the more modern chips (with ARM cores) you have more flexibility for free build environments.

    I’ll have to check, but if I recall well, you can upload the stack from TI with the loader application. I did that for one of the BLE members of that family... should be in one of my blogs here on element14..

    it didn’t require a paid-for environment.

    Hi Jan,

     

    I see.. I was under the impression that Gurinder wanted to create some custom application to run on it, and build it along with the stack (i.e. use the stack's API), so would need that body of code linking in with his code, even if not recompiling the stack.

    Maybe I've misunderstood the requirement. I didn't use the CC2541 after the request to find out how much the IAR software fee was : (
