https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/3466/beaglebone-black-interface-to-nrf8001Hi I would like to interface nRF8001 with a BeagleBone Black (BBB) an ARM cortex-A8 [1]. BBB has a SPI inteface and can support interrupt line input, and its running Linux Ubuntu OS. My usage would be to be able to send/receive Ascii text messagesen-USTelligent Community 13Fri, 29 Aug 2014 05:25:46 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/12535?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 29 Aug 2014 05:25:46 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:257c2597-eaf8-4e51-b3f2-1d6adff91f3dvic<p>Wonder why anyone did not put the &quot;explained here&quot; work into a git tree. Its simply such a nasty way to give code diffs in a text.</p> <p>A simple code patch would have made life such easier.</p> <p>Text code change description is error prone to reproduce.</p> <p>If possible please point to a git that has this diff work, or generate a patch. I strongly recommend to change these steps. Any sane developer would have never put such text code description.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/12534?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 26 Aug 2014 14:01:09 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:287d591e-b15c-4d03-b8f4-8d0d52ca95f7David Edwin<p>Unfortunately we do have a reference driver for Linux. However since the nRF8001 SDK for Arduino is C based, it should be easily portable to the BBB. The UART over BLE protocol can be used for ASCII text communication with the ARM MCU. The steps suggested for porting are <a href="https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/ble-sdk-arduino/blob/master/documentation/libraries/BLE/nRF8001-Porting-ACI-Library.md">explained here.</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
