Integrating nrf8001 with Renesas microcontroller

[keerthi]

Hi,

I would like to connect nrf8001 to a Renesas microcontroller but I could not find any documentation on how to proceed with this step. The only documentation I could find is how to connect nrf8001 with Arduino.

I was wondering if anyone could give me a brief explanation on the steps need to be taken to implement this.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

You can use Arduino library, but you only have to change SPI driver so it works with Renesas microcontroller and still be compatible with HAL. I did that some time ago... Library works like charm, just connect the module properly and make SPI work.

Ok, now i remember more (did that ~2 years ago, could not be correct) - it is not the same library I was using actually. I think I used examples for nrf6310 motherboard which had some other uc there (51-series something?). Here the files are .cpp, and I think i used .c. But if you will be able to compile it, it should also work. In the library from your linkthere is a file hal_aci_tl.cpp, it calls some functions from SPI.h which is Arduino SPI library. You should prepare similar library for renesas uc and just use it there instead.

I think you should also connect RESET pin of nrf8001 somewhere, probably to hi-logic :)
