nrf8001 communicaton to other microcontroller

Hi,

For the LPC1769 is implemented also the communication between the nrf8001 and the phone or only the SPI communication between the micro and the nrf8001 module? The fact is that it's not clear to me which is the function in the subfolder "ble_uart" that you posted in the zip file handles the communication between the nrf8001 and the phone (sending out the data from the nrf8001 to the app on the phone). Could it be lib_aci_send_data in the lib_aci.c file?

Hi,

There are multiple ports for M3 based CPU’s available:

Please find attached a port for the LPC1769. There is also a port for the STM32 (Maple) There is also a Tiva driver available here

Note that all these drivers are limited ports, so it does not have all the examples from the Arduino SDK which they are based on. More information about the arduino SDK can be found in this Webinar.

Hi Carles,

I'm using an Cortex M3 do you have the ACI drivers for this micro?

Thanks,

Hi there,

Sorry, I don't really know much about the bundled 8001 drivers, but there are other Nordic people in this forum that can help you.

To clean things up, I'd be happy if you could evaluate the answer you have received and accept it if you feel it's sufficient. If not, it might be useful to expand your question a little and provide further information.

Hi ajay,

The 8001 is a connectivity chip, but you'll need to use an ACI (similar to SPI) interface to communicate with it. It will not work over a serial link (UART). However, you do not necessarily need additional hardware in your microcontroller to manage an SPI link, you could do it by simply toggling GPIOs (so you do not need a dedicated SPI master hardware, the nRF8001 is a SPI slave), although that may consume a bit of your CPU time.

There are many examples in the 8001 project files that provide sample code on how to establish an ACI link between a microcontroller and the Nordic IC.

What is the microcontroller that you are using ? We have ACI drivers for a few microcontrollers to help you get started. The ACI requires 5 lines (MISO, MOSI, SCK, REQN(SS) and RDYN).
