Connecting EM Board to Host Platform
The TiWI-uB1 can be operated in one of two different modes,
determined by
the firmware programmed
into the module:
Stand Alone Mode - This is the most common configuration when using the TiWi-uB1 Module. In this
mode, the controller, host, profiles, and application are all implemented on the TiWi-uB1 module as a
true standalone Bluetooth BLE solution. No interface to a host is required.
Network Processor Mode - The controller and host are implemented together on the TiWi-uB1 module,
while the profiles and application are implemented separately. The application and profiles
communicate with the TiWi-uB1module by means of HCI commands using a SPI or UART interface.
This
configuration is useful for applications which execute on either another device (such as an external
microcontroller) or a PC. In these cases, the application can be developed externally while still running
the BLE stack on the CC2540/41.
The TiWi-uB1EM board uses USART 0 as the default UART interface and USART 1 as the default SPI
interface (Figure 4).
