nRF8001 MSP430 setup

[Dany]

I am using the minimal port referenced in this question: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ to interface the nRF8001 using an MSP430 device. I am currently in the process of porting the aci_setup.c functions in order to setup the device to communicate using a UART over BLE profile. I am really struggling with the implementation.

I noticed that when I run the setup code my queue fills up. It seems that the interrupts are no longer triggered at some point causing the queue to never be emptied. I inserted code to reenable the RDY interrupts in one of the loops called in the aci_setup function but now it seems the number of command response events isnt the same as the number of commands written and so the code will not proceed.

The github to my code is: github.com/.../BLE Demo

and the most relevant file I think is aci_setup.c

Thank you!!

I have narrowed the problem down to a device started event not being generated when the setup transaction complete rsp is received. Any ideas as to why this could be happening?

EDIT: Here is the UART demo that I've written for the MSP430F6438. It is quite sloppy but it does work. BLE Demo.zip

I added a workaround in my code to avoid this problem. The device now pairs with the UART android app provided by nordicsemi. I will post my code here once complete.

Hi Dany, were you able to finish the code? I am trying to port the code to the G2553 chip.

Hi Dany, don't mean to revive this thread from the dead but thanks for your demo! I managed to use it as the basis for my port back to bare avr code.
